Adding or Creating a Defect

This topic explains how to add or create a defect in Agility.

Overview​

Defects are generally entered and planned in the Product Planning area. Here, they can be parsed out to specific projects in the hierarchy, and then reviewed by the team and scheduled into a sprint or iteration.

Option 2. Using the Defect Details Page​

  1. The defect details page provides additional fields and allows you to enter more detailed information about the story.
  2. In any grid, click select Add Defect from the Add Backlog Item Inline drop-down menu.
  3. When the Defect Details window opens, type in the appropriate fields, and then click Save.

Option 3. In the Sidebar​

  1. Click on the plus icon on the header.
  2. Select the type of asset you want to add.
  3. Enter the asset details and click Save.

Option 4. Import Defects from a Spreadsheet​

If your defects are in an Excel spreadsheet, or if you have a large number of backlog items to add, you can import them into the backlog using the Import feature. For instructions on how to do this, refer to Importing Backlog Items, Defects, and Other Data from Microsoft Excel.

Option 5. Generate a New Defect from a Template​

If you have created defect templates, which are reusable assets that contain pre-defined defect details, you can use them as a starting point to create a new defect.
