Adding Helix ALM issues

You can add an issue to Helix ALM from QA Wizard Pro to report errors found during script playback.

Instead of manually adding issues, you can also:

• Add issues from run reports to automatically attach the results.
• Use statements to add issues when scripts fail.
• Configure batch files to automatically add issues when scripts in them fail.
• Add issues when running scripts from a command prompt.

Tip: If you need to add an issue with the same basic information as another one, save time by duplicating the existing issue and then editing the new one. See Duplicating Helix ALM items.

1. Choose Tools > Helix ALM > Add Issue. You can also click Add in the Issues list window.

The Add Issue dialog box opens.

2. Enter the general issue information in the top part of the dialog box. The fields depend on the information your team requires.

• Summary briefly describes the issue.
