Configuring Defect Actions

You can configure the threshold for the number of defect actions to display in an outstanding defect report and which lifecycles define a defect action as being open.

See Properties for Defect Actions.

  1. Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To define the threshold number of defect actions to display in an outstanding defect report, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      emxSemiTeamCollab.OutstandingDefectReportLimit = 10

      When freezing a product as a new revision, the command informs the user of the number of outstanding defect actions. If the number is less than or equal to this value, the command shows a report listing the defect actions. If the number is greater than this value, the command shows a message that just includes the number.

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements. The value must be an integer.
  3. To define which lifecycle states define a defect action as being open, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:

      emxSemiTeamCollab.OpenDefectAction.States = Open,Test

      The lifecycle states listed here are used to determine if a defect action is still open.

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements. You can enter a comma-separated list of valid lifecycle states.
  4. When you are finished updating the text file with all properties that you want to modify, use the text file to modify the emxSemiTeamCollab.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
