# Bug Tracking ## Connect Jira or other Bug Tracking tool for seamless Workflow. Appsurify integrates with Jira and other popular bug tracking tools for each tracking and management of defects. ## Defect Types: * **Project –** The Standard Defect Type * **Flaky –** Tests which fail due to defects of type ‘flaky’ and will not break the build unless otherwise specified. * **Invalid Test –** Indicates that the test is or was invalid when the test failed. * **Outside Scope –** Select this defect type when the failure is a consequence of another test failure. * For example, if Login breaks and your Login tests fail and create a defect and all your other tests fail and create a defect which is secondary, then this defect would be marked as ‘Outside Scope,’ essentially saying that we don’t want to prioritize this defect as it is a corresponding failure to the real defect. ## **Defect Lifecycle** #### **Automatic Opening** Defects will automatically open when tests fail. The type will depend on a number of factors. By default, they are opened as a project defect, but if the model indicates that these failure were flaky the default type will be set to flaky. The model for determining flakiness looks at a large number of features, such as: * Previous Defects * Failure Messages * Failure Types – fail vs. error vs. assert * Average run time vs when the test failed * History of that test * Area of the change #### Automatic Closing Defects other than of type, ‘flaky,’ will be closed automatically when all the associated tests (tests that have failed because of this defect) pass on a commit which is a child of the commit which caused the defect. #### **Defect Caused By Commits** Defects that are caused by commits are the set of commits which caused the defect. #### **Defects Closed By Commits** Defects that are closed by commits are the set of commits which closed the defect. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
