Report bugs from test results
Katalon True lets you report a bug directly from a test result. The bug is created in your linked ALM project — Jira or Azure DevOps — with the description, images, and file attachments you add, so the developer gets the full context without leaving their tracker.
Use cases
- File a defect the moment a manual test step fails, while the evidence is on screen.
- Attach the artifacts a developer actually needs to reproduce the problem: logs, recorded videos, and repro documents, not only screenshots.
- Keep traceability: the created issue is linked to the test result, so defect reports and coverage reports stay accurate.
- An active Jira or Azure DevOps integration linked to your project. See Jira integration or Azure DevOps integration.
Create a bug from a test result​
- Open the test result — for example, from a manual test run in TestPak, or from a test run's results.
- Click Report Defect (the bug icon).
- Select the target project and issue type, and fill in the fields.
- Add a description, images, and file attachments (see below).
- Click Create. The issue is created in Jira or Azure DevOps and linked to the test result.
Attach files to the bug report​
Bug reports accept more than images. You can attach:
- Documents: PDF, Word, Excel
- Videos (for example,
.mp4) - Text and log files
Add files with the file picker or by drag-and-drop. A bug report can carry multiple attachments.
On submission, the files are added to the created Jira or Azure DevOps issue as real attachments — not local-only references. PDF attachments preview inline in the bug report.
If an upload fails or a file type is not supported, the dialog shows a clear error and keeps your drafted bug report — nothing you typed is lost.
Jira fields in the bug dialog​
When the target is Jira, the dialog builds its form from your Jira project's create metadata: the fields and options you see are the ones your Jira issue type defines. Supported field types include text, number, date and datetime, user, single- and multi-select, checkbox, radio, cascading select, labels, group, and the Atlassian Team field — so a bug can be created even when your Jira issue type requires a Team value.
