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 Actions and choose Add Related Issue when you are viewing or editing a manual test run.

The Adding Issue page 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.
• Attachments on the Files tab—Includes manual test run result attachments.

2. Make any changes.

3. Save the issue.

• Click Save to add the issue to the project and return to the page you were working on.
• Click Apply to save the issue and continue working on it. Save the issue when you finish.
• Click Save and Add Another to add the issue to the project and then add another issue.
• Click Cancel to discard any changes.

The available options depend on the Add Multiple Issues user option set in the Helix ALM Client. See the Helix ALM Client help for information about setting add multiple items options.

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.
