Template used by business testers and other groups outside QA to document defects found during testing.

Completed template is sent to the QA Lead or the QA Analyst assigned to the project. Members of the QA team have the ability to upload the details on the Defect Upload Template into the TMT.

The Defect Management Reporting Governance Documentation provides guidance on how to report and track the status of defects reporting throughout the various testing cycles associated with projects. The documentation provides definitions of various fields used in monitoring defects, including defect severity, defect priority and defect status.

All members of testing teams should familiarize themselves with this process and the term definitions used in defect monitoring.
