Bug Object

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024
Since release 10.2, this functionality is obsolete and is supported for backward compatibility only. We recommend that you use QAComplete REST API to access and manage data in QAComplete.

A Bug object represents a defect in QAComplete. Using QAComplete SOAP API, you can add, enumerate, update and delete defects.

Some string property values (for example, StatusCode) are based on choice lists defined in your QAComplete project. You can find these values in Defects > Show Defects > Actions > Manage Choice Lists.

Requirements

To manage defects, the web service user must be in a security group that has the corresponding privileges – Read, Add, Update, or Delete– for Defects. You can view or set these privileges in  > Setup > Security > Security Groups > Manage Security Rights > select user group.
