Creating issues from manual test runs

If you work with issues in Helix ALM, you can create issues from manual test runs to report problems found during a test. The manual test run information is copied to the issue so other users can review the details when fixing and verifying it.

1. Click Create Issue when you are viewing or editing a manual test run.

The Add Issue dialog box opens. Manual test run information is added to the following fields by default:

Summary and Description—Include the manual test run number, manual test run summary, and problem statements.
Steps to Reproduce—Includes the steps from the manual test run including problem statements, step notes, actual results, and references to expected result attachments.
File attachments mini tab on the Detail tab—Includes manual test run result attachments.

Note: Depending on project configuration, additional information may be copied from the manual test run. See Configuring item mapping rules.

2. Make any changes.

3. Click Add to save the issue and add it to the project.

You can also click Apply to save the issue and continue working on it. Click OK when you finish.

You may be prompted to link the issue with the related manual test run and test case. Click Add Link to create a link or Do Not Link if you do not want to create a link. See Working with related items.

Tip: Depending on user options, the Add Issue dialog box may remain open after the issue is added. Click Cancel to close it. You can change the Add Multiple Issues user option to automatically close the dialog box after adding a new issue. See Setting add multiple items options.
