Problem to solve
As a developer reviewing test errors, I want to create an issue from failed tests, so that I can share fixing them with my team.
Intended users
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Simone (Software Engineer in Test) - who wants to ensure test failures are tracked by the team
User experience goal
The user should be able to use the UI of the Test Summary Report OR JUnit Report to create an issue that contains some details from the test failure.
Proposal
We shipped JUnit test report on merge request widget in 11.4. In that iteration, we didn't ship the issue-creating button in the modal window.
Since security report has the same functionality, test report widget also should have the same function.
Further details
For an MVC any sort of tracking of the issues seems out of scope. If users are getting value from the feature a more robust solution that tracks failed tests -> issues could be required but let's validate this is valuable first.
Permissions and Security
Documentation
Add to appropriate Test Summary and/or JUnit Report docs information and limitations of creating an issue.
Availability & Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Acceptance Criteria
- From the Test Summary an issue is created in the same project with details pre-populated in the Issue Summary
What is the type of buyer?
The buyer for this is likely the Team Load who is focused on managing the single project, a capability that matches to the ~"Gitlab Starter" tier.
