Filters and Insights

2 min read

The Defects page includes search, filters, sorting, and quick insight groups to help teams find the defects that need attention.


Use search to find defects by text such as:

  • Title
  • Defect code
  • Priority
  • Severity
  • Status
  • Reporter
  • Assignee
  • Test case reference
  • Source

Search can be combined with filters and quick insights.


Quick filters provide common one-click views. Current quick filters include:

  • High Priority
  • Blocker
  • Critical
  • Open
  • In Progress
  • Resolved
  • Created Today
  • This Week
  • This Month
  • Last 30 Days
  • Reported by Me
  • Assigned to Me
  • Overdue
  • Due Today
  • Due This Week

Each quick filter shows a live count based on the current defect set.


Insight groups provide grouped filters for triage and review.

  • Stale Defects: open defects not updated in the last 7 days
  • Recently Resolved: resolved in the last 7 days
  • Long Running: open for 30 days or more
  • Quick Wins: low priority and low severity
  • High Risk: high priority and high severity
  • Regression Risk: linked to a test case
  • Unassigned Critical: blocker or critical severity without an assignee
  • Cross-Team: reporter and assignee are different
  • Self Assigned: reporter and assignee are the same
  • Team Bottlenecks: users with 5 or more open assigned defects
  • Customer Blocking: open blocker defects
  • Release Blockers: high priority defects due soon
  • Technical Debt: low priority defects
  • Weekend Defects: created on Saturday or Sunday
  • Rush Defects: created and resolved on the same day
  • Abandoned: assigned open defects not updated in the last 14 days

Advanced filters include:

  • Priority
  • Severity
  • Status
  • Assignee
  • Due Date
  • Test case reference
  • Execution source
  • Project in workspace view
  • Active dropdown custom fields

Filters in the same insight group work together, and different groups can narrow the result further.


Sort defects by:

  • Defect Code
  • Title
  • Priority
  • Severity
  • Status
  • Reporter
  • Assignee
  • Due Date
  • Last Updated

Defect codes use natural sorting so numbered codes stay in a sensible order.
