Test Case and Defect Analysis for Defect Management and Regression Testing: Forms and Interactions

This category of data comes from defect management systems, test reports, code commit records, and user feedback. It is updated daily or per version

What this category of data looks like

This category of data comes from defect management systems, test reports, code commit records, and user feedback. It is updated daily or per version release cycle. Daily produced documents include defect tickets, regression test checklists, repair verification records, and defect statistical reports. Document fields include defect ID, priority, reproduction steps, associated code commits, verification status, and more. There are no additional custom units. The core revolves around the full lifecycle flow of functional defects.

Dispersed data sources and update rhythms that follow version iterations require forms to support quick associated entry of multi-source data. Daily document fields are fixed and need to cover the full defect lifecycle, so interactions must preset standardized fields and not allow full customization. The risk of missing high-priority defects requires clear mandatory validation in the form priority determination step. The regression verification step needs to associate historical test cases, so interactions must support quick recall of existing regression checklist templates. Operation permissions for different roles must be distinguished through interactions to avoid cross-role misoperations affecting defect flow efficiency.

How to configure

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
Form input node formInputTest example: Select 3 fields from defect management and regression test fields as mandatory inputs; actual fields are determined by the taskThis node collects user input; missing mandatory items require checking interaction status to avoid subsequent nodes failing to obtain complete input
User selection node userSelectTest example: Set 2 business options and check the corresponding branches one by oneThis node handles user selection; queries and filtering of defect management and regression test related records must be implemented by subsequent interfaces or external systems
Field passing after submissionTest example: Prepare 10 defect management and regression test input samples, covering complete filling, missing mandatory items, and canceled operationsCompare input and node output to verify whether subsequent nodes receive corresponding fields; result thresholds are determined by actual tasks
External implementation item: Regression test checklist invocationMust be implemented separately by the external system; connect to external business systems via subsequent workflow nodes to obtain checklist data. It is recommended to load updated data from the external system from the last 7 days (to be tested)Match the daily/per version update rhythm to reduce duplicate data entry workload
External implementation item: Multi-source data associationMust be implemented separately by the external system; associate via connecting to external code commit record systems via subsequent nodesConnect to external data sources to simplify information entry during the repair verification phase
External implementation item: Role permission restrictionMust be implemented separately by the external system; implement role field editing permission restrictions via external business systems or subsequent workflow nodesDistinguish operation boundaries for different roles to reduce misoperation risks

Three common mistakes

  • Phenomenon: After configuring dynamic knowledge base variables, the AI response does not display referenced documents, and the returned result is empty. Cause: The form input node did not correctly bind the parameter passing relationship between variables and the knowledge base search node, resulting in dynamic parameter values not taking effect.
  • Phenomenon: A system error is triggered when submitting a defect ticket, prompting "Mandatory fields not filled in". Cause: The mandatory validation rule of the formInput node was not enabled, resulting in core information not being mandatory for entry.
  • Phenomenon: A timeout prompt appears when loading historical regression checklists. Cause: The number of historical data items loaded in a single time was not restricted, resulting in the external system returning too large a data volume exceeding the processing limit.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

  • Submit a test defect ticket, check whether all preset mandatory fields have mandatory validation prompts, and confirm that the formInput node configuration is effective.
  • Switch accounts of different roles, check whether the field editing permissions of the external system or subsequent nodes take effect as configured, and confirm that the permission configuration is correct.
  • Call the regression test checklist provided by the external system, check whether the corresponding template can be loaded, and confirm that the checklist invocation configuration is correct.
  • Trigger a search after configuring dynamic knowledge base variables, check whether the variable transfer meets expectations, and confirm that the parameter binding is correct.
