Defect Report By Project

[dmfranko]

Hello,

I've been looking into the PPM plugin and it's capabilities and I've run into a question I can't seem to answer.   Is it possible to report defects related to a particular project.   Is there anything OOB that does this?   I can see them at the test case level and if I go into the 'Open Defects' module under SDLC I see them, but I'm not finding an obvious way to filter them by project.

Yes, we are getting a lot of positive feedback on this feature - the guided execution of a test plan - it is leveraging the Assessment capability and is able to record a the execution status + any comments the tester wants to include - and is automatically updating the test case completion percentage and the project test phase and project overall.

That's interesting that the assumption is that a sprint would include stories from multiple projects.   I suppose it's good to have that flexibility.   I'm pretty new to Agile, but the recommendation seems to be that teams are fully dedicated to a given project, but I'm sure that's not the reality of the situation.

Dan - at my current organization, a sprint only has stories from 1 project. But I realize we're the exception!

Just to add a small detail around how the current test case/defect reporting works. f you take a look at the Test Management Overview page, the Defect Distribution report shows defects by execution status and test case "tag". The tag can be anything, including a project. So if you are using Test Management, you could tag your test cases with the project name and leverage the built in-reports to summarize defects by project.

Hey Anna,

That's a good idea!   However, I would have expected it to account for reporting at varying levels OOB without having to resort to work-arounds.
