Defect Management

Rally delivers full-featured and easy to use defect and issue tracking for developers, testers and stakeholders.

You can also extend Rally’s defect management features with integration connectors to common open source and commercial bug tracking and issue tracking tools for seamless scheduling and tracking of status.

Defect management made easy

Rally makes it easy to manage defects found during automated testing, manual testing or those reported by stakeholders and customers. Dashboards automatically group test results and defects by requirement to show which issues need to be resolved before the release is accepted.

  • Work with a clean and simple web interface that guides team members in defect submission, updating and reporting.
  • See which defects are preventing acceptance of key features on the release defects dashboard.
  • Link defects to requirement or test cases right from the submit form.
  • Schedule and track defects individually or in defect suites.
  • Work on defects collaboratively with your team through instant messenger services, Skype and GTALK.
  • Alert defect owners with notifications that support personal workbenches, email and RSS.

Tailor Rally to your own QA environment

You can tailor Rally to your own software quality assurance processes with custom fields and summary views.

  • Create custom filters and queries to sort defects and focus on issues of interest.
  • Customize role-based permissions and access rights.
  • Use Web Services and connectors to integrate with other systems including bug tracking tools, IDE's, source control, support desks, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
