How can I enter a defect / bug number against a failed QAComplete test?

Currently I am using Ontime to log defects, but would like to capture the bug number against the failed test - is this possible?

    Hello Rachel,

     

    Thank you for your reply. We don't have custom fields available at that level/details but we are looking in to it. I will create a case for you in order to raise the priority and provide it to our Product Management team. This way you will be contacted when there is an update.

     

    As a work around you could create a custom field in your Test Library for example a Custom Text Field named Ontime Bug Number and you can enter the Ontime Bug Number in to the custom field after you run the Tests. This custom field will be available on the Test Library Report for you as long as you make sure that the Custom Field matches across all Projects (same Custom Field number, same Custom Field name, same Custom Field type on all Projects).

     

    Thank you,

    Christiane

Thanks I understand this.  I was after a way to enter a defect number against a failed test without using the internal defect management system.  I use Ontime and I'm aware of the limitations with integrating with QA Complete.  I just wanted a field where I could enter the bug number and report on i, for example in the "Test Runs Report".

    Thanks - I am entering the ontime bug number as part of the actual results when executing each test step.  I can include this in one of the Ad Hoc reports.
