About submitting a defect from a test result

If you are using version 7.0 of the Enterprise schema or you have created an association with a defect record and the TMTestLog, you can submit a defect from the Test Results view or the Execution page of the Test Manager view. You must use a Rational® ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse to submit a defect for a test result.
Note: The Submit Defect action that is added to the Test Results view and the Execution page of the Test Manager view can support multiple record types. For example, if you create a Reference_List association between a TMTestLog record and other record types, the Submit menu item cascades to display the reference record names.
When the defect record is submitted, the test result is committed and a test log record is created in the Rational ClearQuest database. The test log record is associated with the defect record and the defect record is associated back to the test log record.

When you perform the Submit Defect action, the Headline and Description fields of the defect record are populated with default values. For more information, see About populating a defect submitted from a test result.

If the executed configured test case for the test result contains a Reference_List association to a ClearQuest requirement record, and the submitted record type also contains a Reference_List association to that requirement record, the requirement reference is copied to the submitted record.
Note: The Rational ClearQuest requirement reference is not modified if the ClearQuest requirement associated with the configured test case is modified. The requirement reference is copied to the submitted record as of the time that record is created.

For more information, see Adding a TMTestLog and defect reference to a schema and Submitting a defect from the Test Results view or Test Manager view.
