These tools support the registration and handling of defects found during a test process. The process of defect management
is complex and voluminous. Sometimes the number of defects, depending among other things on the size and quality of the
test object, may amount to hundreds or thousands. Defects can also contain one or more annexes with screen prints or parts
of the test basis to clarify the problem. Several parties, often in different locations, are involved in handling defects.
Sometimes the procedure to handle defects depends on the urgency of the defect. Tools are available to support these
activities. In addition to the registration the lifecycle of a defect can be monitored and tracked. Some tools also enable
the creation of management reports and metrics.
