Incident Logging¶
Screenshot¶
Purpose¶
The New Incident dialog box allows you to log a new incident (also known as a bug or defect) into a connected SpiraTest instance. If you log the new incident during a manual test execution, it will be linked to the current test run.
How to Open¶
You can open the New Incident dialog box using the Tools > New Incident
menu, or by clicking the Log Incident
button within the Manual Playback dialog box.
Details / Description¶
The Details/Description section allows you to enter a short name and a long description for the new incident, along with the following fields:
- Type - The type of incident (e.g., bug).
- Detected By - The user who detected the bug (typically your current user).
- Priority - The importance level of the bug.
- Severity - The criticality level of the bug.
- Owned By - The user to whom the bug should be assigned (or left unassigned).
- Detected Release - The version of the system in which the bug was found.
- Resolved Release - The version of the system in which the bug should be fixed.
- Verified Release - The version of the system in which the bug was retested.
- Custom Fields - Any custom fields created in your Spira instance will also be displayed.
Comments¶
The Comments section allows you to enter a comment that will be logged with the new incident. This is a rich text field that can contain formatted text.
Schedule¶
The Schedule section allows you to enter schedule and effort-related information for the new incident:
- Start Date - The planned start date for the new incident.
- End Date - The planned completion date for the new incident.
- Estimated Effort - The number of hours the incident is expected to take.
- Actual Effort - The number of hours actually expended.
- Remaining Effort - The number of hours remaining to fix the incident. Additionally, the following calculated fields will be displayed:
- Percent Complete - A measure of how much of the incident has been completed. It is calculated as: 100% - (Remaining Effort / Estimated Effort).
- Projected Effort - The current measure of how long the incident is expected to take, based on current information. It is calculated as: (Actual Effort + Remaining Effort).
Attachments¶
This section displays a list of attachments associated with the new incident. Since Rapise has a built-in screenshot capture utility, this section is typically not used.
