Creating registered TA bugs with TFS Bug Tracker

A registered bug is a TestArchitect bug (TA bug) associated with a Team Foundation Server bug issue.

Ensure that the following requirements are met:

To create a registered TA bug, complete the following steps:

  1. Right-click the Bugs node in the TestArchitect explorer tree, then click New Bug.

    Fastpath: Ctrl + N

  2. In the New Bug dialog box, click the Import button.

    The Import Bug dialog box appears.

  3. In the Bug ID text box, specify the bug ID of a TFS bug you would like to associate this TA bug with.

  4. Click OK

    The username and password is verified after you click OK.

    The values obtained from the TFS bug are loaded into the corresponding Summary, Description, Source and Status fields in the New Bug dialog box.

    Note:
    • Generally, a registered TA bug loads values from four TFS built-in fields: Key, Summary, Status, and Description. However, you can have TestArchitect load additional TFS fields, such as Priority or Severity, by creating associated TestArchitect user-defined fields. See Adding a custom field in TestArchitect for further information.
    • Making changes to the Summary or Description field in the New Bug dialog box is possible.
  5. Click the Create button.

    Restriction:
    • If you attempt to associate a TA bug with a TFS issue that is not of the type Bug, an error message is presented:

    • Each TFS bug ID can only be mapped to a single TestArchitect bug. If you attempt to import a TFS bug that is already linked to a registered TA bug, the following message is displayed:

    A registered bug is created and appears in the main panel. The fields of the Information tab below are explained in TA bug information.

    Note:
    • The TestArchitect Bug ID field is a combination of a prefix key followed by an ID number, separated by a hyphen.
    • The ID number is automatically generated to avoid duplicate bugs in case of replication repositories.
