# 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.
