What's included
Defects move from New through Confirmed, In progress and In test to Fixed or Won’t fix. Each carries a severity, the component it lives in, the environment it was found in and a link to the reproduction. The intake form lets testers log a defect without opening the table. The dashboard charts defects raised per day and the open count by status, which is the release readiness conversation in two widgets.
