Adding issue and remark regions

In the Test editor or Step editor, you can annotate one or more remark or issue regions on the baseline or checkpoint image of a step. The region marks a specific area and includes a description, discussion thread, and other features described below.

To add an issue or remark region:

1. Click Issue, or Remark from the Annotations toolbar.

2. Drag the crosshair pointer around the area of interest on the step image.

3. Add a title and click Create.

4. A dialog box opens, allowing you to take various actions listed below. You can also take these actions later by clicking on the region icon in the step image.

   

5. You can perform the following actions:

   • Add additional information in the comment box. If you reference a team member's name in the text, they will receive an email notification

   • Follow the thread to receive notifications when other users add comments.

   • Copy a URL that you can save or send via email. Pasting this URL into a browser will open the Test editor on this step, with the comment editor open on this comment.

   • Delete the issue or remark.

6. For an issue region, you can also:

   • Select Fail tests. If this option is selected, once you accept or reject the step, the test status will be forced to a Failed state in both the current and future test executions.

   • If you select Fail tests, you can also select Snooze failures and choose a date. This option ensures that the test will only be forced into the Failed state after the specified date.

   • If you have configured either the Jira integration or the Rally integration, you can associate a Jira issue or Rally work item with the region.

7. Click Post to publish the issue or remark.
