To help avoid duplication, the Test & Feedback extension automatically searches for and displays existing bugs, based on the keywords in the title as you file a new bug. You can choose to continue creating a new bug or add your findings to an existing bug.

Prerequisites

Project connection:
- Connect to a project. If you don't have a project yet, create one.
- Be added to a project. To get added, see Add users to a project or team.
Access Levels:
- To request or provide feedback, have Stakeholder access or higher.
Permissions:
- To add or modify bugs or other work item types, have the Edit work items in this node permission set to Allow under the corresponding Area Path.
- To add new tags, have the Create tag definition permission set to Allow.

For more information, see Set permissions and access for testing.

Add your findings to a bug

Enter the title for a bug.

In the background, the extension searches for similar bugs that might be related to the issue you found and displays a link to the results.
Select the link to see the results that have similar title keywords.

The form displays 0 Similar if it doesn't find any matching bugs. In this case, or if you don't see a "similar" link, you can create a new bug that contains your screenshots, notes, and videos, as described in Connected mode exploratory testing.
To update a bug, do the following tasks, rather than create a new one.
- Choose it from the list and select Edit.
  
  The extension appends all your screenshots, notes, and videos to the existing bug.
- Save the updated bug.
OR, if you decide not to update an existing bug, ignore the "similar" link and select New bug to return to the bug details form.
- Enter the details for the new bug and save it, as described in Connected mode exploratory testing.
Continue to explore your app, file bugs and tasks, and create test cases.
