How to Track Defects
When you report a defect to a TestDirector project, it is tracked through the
following stages: New, Open, Fixed, and Closed. A defect may also be Rejected,
or Reopened after it is fixed.
Rejected
New
Open
Reopened
Fixed
Closed
When you initially report the defect to the TestDirector project, by default it
is assigned the status New. A quality assurance or project manager reviews
the defect, and determines whether or not to consider the defect for repair.
If the defect is refused, it is assigned the status Rejected. If the defect is
accepted, the quality assurance or project manager determines a repair
priority, changes its status to Open, and assigns it to a member of the
development team. A developer repairs the defect and assigns it the status
Fixed. You retest the application, making sure that the defect does not recur.
If the defect recurs, the quality assurance or project manager assigns it the
status Reopened. If the defect is actually repaired, it is assigned the status
Closed.
