Testing / PractiTest Interview Questions
How does the 'Fail & Issue' button streamline defect logging during test execution?
Without a dedicated shortcut, logging a defect found during testing typically means finishing the test run, then separately opening the Issues module, then manually re-establishing the link back to the test and requirement involved.
- The Fail & Issue button collapses this into one action: marking the Test Instance as failed and creating the linked issue simultaneously
- The resulting issue automatically carries context from the test, avoiding a tester having to manually re-describe what was already documented in the test steps
- The issue immediately becomes visible in the Issues module, whether managed natively or synced to an external tracker
This tight coupling between failing a test and logging its issue is a big part of why PractiTest can claim full traceability from requirement to test to defect without extra manual bookkeeping.
