Issues in SquashTM

What is an Issue?

An issue is a malfunction detected in a system or product. It is a behavior of the application that is often observed during a test execution, and that does not conform to the behavior described in the functional specifications or the User Story.

An issue is one of the main indicators used to evaluate the quality of a product or system. Solving issues results in a valid system that meets the specifications and the needs of the client or user.

In every IT team, issues are tracked using a tool so that they can be fixed with developments.

To be able to report, associate issues with executions and view issues from SquashTM, you must:

• have the plugin corresponding to the bugtracker installed in SquashTM;
• have the server corresponding to the bugtracker declared in SquashTM by an administrator;
• have the server and the bugtracker's project configured in the SquashTM project by an administrator or project leader.
