Issues in Squash

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 with 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 thanks to a tool so that they can be fixed with developments.
