  • 1.  How can I get a list of all defects with no defect suite

    Posted Jun 12, 2015 11:40 AM
    I'm big on keeping everything categorized and organized, and as such I want to get all of the defects in the backlog I have inhereted into defect suites so that my team can easily dedicate periods of time to addressing different areas of our product. However I can't seem to find any way to get a list of all of the defects that have no defect suite on them. Any screen that lists defects does not seem to have defect suite as one of the filtering options or one of the column options.

    Hey Shane. It is easy =) Create a new custom page and add Custom List (formerly Custom Grid) application to show all the defects. Then add "Defect Suites" column to your view. It will show 0 for bugs not assigned to any suite. Let me know if something is still not clear.

    Regards,

    Max, this is a great start. However it still does not appear to allow me to do any filtering of stories based on whether or not they are in a defect suite. Are you aware of any way to add that to a query?

    Ah yes, so you now get defect suites as a column option in a custom list of all defects. And it seems that defects suites is not available as a filtering option to improve your view. It seems that "Defect Suite" is not an attribute of a defect instance. It also means you can't build a proper query.

    Well, so far I have two lifehacks in my mind =) First one - export all the list to CSV and perform filtering in MS Excel. And another idea is to utilize additional parameter. To be more detailed:
    1. Quality > Defect Suites. Here you can see all defects that are assigned to suites (opposite view to those you need).
    2. Using bulk actions tag all these defects by any label, e.g. "ds"
    3. In the custom list app filter by tags (e.g., Tags != ds)

    Let me know if it helps or not

    Actually, there might be a way.
    a. Add the Custom List app to your dashboard/custom page
    b. Choose Defect
    c. In the Query field, enter (DefectSuites.Name = "")

    That should give you a list of defects that don't have a related Defect Suite.
    Hope that's what you're looking for, Shane?
