Software defect reporting

摘要

Provided are approaches for software defect reporting. Specifically, one approach provides identifying a software defect; generating a software defect report, wherein the software defect report is generated in real-time as the software defect is identified during testing of the test case, wherein the software defect report is submitted by a testing entity to a software developer responsible for creating a software product having the software defect, and wherein the defect report contains information to identify the location of the software defect in the application code of the software product; determining if the software defect report information is complete; and if the software defect report information is not complete, the updating the defect report information, determining if the software defect is reproducible, and recreating the software defect in the case that the software defect is reproducible.

1. A method comprising:
assigning to each interaction with a software product being tested a unique trace ID; a computer, in response to identifying a software defect, automatically associating the unique trace ID corresponding to the interaction during which the software defect occurred with log messages corresponding to the interaction; the computer generating a software defect report, wherein the software defect report is generated in real-time as the software defect is identified during testing of a test case, wherein the software defect report is submitted by a testing entity to a software developer responsible for creating the software product having the software defect, and wherein the defect report contains the log messages collected using the unique trace ID that associates the software defect during execution of a testing case with application code on a source system that led to a generation of the defect to identify a location of the software defect in the application code of the software product; the computer determining if the software defect report information is complete; and if the software defect report information is not complete, the computer updating the defect report information, determining if the software defect is reproducible, and recreating the software defect in the case that the software defect is reproducible.
