Capturing the system build information for newly identified defects is crucial as it helps in tracking the defect back to a specific state of the software. This information is essential for developers to understand the context of the defect and for testers to manage regression testing effectively. It allows for precise identification of when the defect was introduced, aiding in quicker resolution and ensuring that similar issues can be prevented in future builds.
[References:, ISTQB Glossary, Distributed Testing1, Defect Report in ISTQB: Software Engineering - The Knowledge Academy, ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager Syllabus, Section 3.2.1, Defect classification and prioritisation: ISTQB offers a standardised defect classification scheme, , The most useful classification information to capture for newly identified defects is the system build that the defect was found in. This is because the system build is the version of the software that is compiled, integrated, and tested together. By capturing the system build for each defect, the test team can track and manage the defects more effectively, and identify the root causes and impacts of the defects. The system build can also help to reproduce and verify the defects, and to measure the quality and progress of the software development.
