Posting Defects to QAComplete

Applies to TestExecute 15.40, last modified on May 21, 2024

The Post Defect to QAComplete dialog allows you to create bug reports and send them to your SmartBear QAComplete database directly from TestExecute's context menu.

To call the dialog, click the Post Defect to QAComplete item in TestExecute's context menu and select the desired test log item from the ensuing submenu.

The Post Defect to QAComplete dialog will pop up.

QAComplete Integration dialog

The dialog includes three pages.

  • On the first page of the dialog, specify the connection settings to your QAComplete project.

    • For QAComplete SaaS Customers (Software as a Service)

      Enter the following information:

      • Web Service Address: http://ws.softwareplanner.com/psWS.asmx
      • Application Host: http://login.softwareplanner.com
      • Email: The email address you use to log into SmartBear QAComplete
      • Password: The password you use to log into SmartBear QAComplete
    • For QAComplete Enterprise Customers

      The information in the dialog will differ. Please verify your unique information with your IT department. It may be similar to this:

      • Web Service Address: http://[Your_Server_Name]/psws/psws.asmx
      • Application Host: http://[Your_Server_Name]
      • Email: The email address you use to log into SmartBear QAComplete
      • Password: The password you use to log into SmartBear QAComplete
  • After you specify these settings, click Check to populate the Project drop-down list. You will see “Projects are loaded successfully” in the message area, and your projects will appear in the drop-down list. Select the desired project for the new defect.
  • Click Save Settings so that you do not have to re-type this information when you create your next defect.
  • Click OK to continue.

    This will open the next page of the dialog:

    QAComplete Integration dialog - Add Defect page
  • On this page, you can specify the defect properties.

    • Enter the Title of your defect.
    • Select the Status from the drop-down list.
    • If you use Folders, select the target folder for the defect.
    • You can also change the default content of the Description in the edit box as needed.
    • If you would like the TestComplete's log attached to the defect in QAComplete, select the Attach Log to Defect check box.
    • Click Settings if you need to return to the previous screen to make changes.

    After you specify the needed data, click Submit to send the defect to your SmartBear QAComplete database.

  • The defect will be added to QAComplete and the window will show you the defect number:

    QAComplete Integration dialog - Defect Number page

    Click on OK to close the window.

    Alternately, if you wish to go directly into QAComplete to view or edit the defect, click Open Defect. This opens SmartBear QAComplete, allows you to log in, and takes you directly to the new defect.
