Add findings to existing bugs with exploratory testing

[!INCLUDE version-lt-eq-azure-devops]

To help avoid duplication, the Test & Feedback extension automatically searches for and displays existing bugs, based on the keywords in the title as you file a new bug. You can choose to continue creating a new bug or add your findings to an existing bug.

[!INCLUDE prerequisites-define]

Add your findings to a bug

  1. Enter the title for a bug.

    In the background, the extension searches for similar bugs that might be related to the issue you found and displays a link to the results.

  2. Select the link to see the results that have similar title keywords.

    The form displays 0 Similar if it doesn't find any matching bugs. In this case, or if you don't see a "similar" link, you can create a new bug that contains your screenshots, notes, and videos, as described in Connected mode exploratory testing.

  3. To update a bug, do the following tasks, rather than create a new one.

    • Choose it from the list and select Edit.

      The extension appends all your screenshots, notes, and videos to the existing bug.

    • Save the updated bug.

  4. OR, if you decide not to update an existing bug, ignore the "similar" link and select New bug to return to the bug details form.

  5. Continue to explore your app, file bugs and tasks, and create test cases.

See your exploratory session results

After you file bugs, create tasks, or create test cases, they show up in the "Recent exploratory sessions" page in Azure Test Plans.
