Initiating an Implementation Review

An Implementation Review provides details about how the fix for the Defect Action was implemented so that others can evaluate the fix.

There can be more that one Implementation Review for a Defect Action, for example, one was completed and then the Defect Action was re-opened which required an additional Implementation Review. In that case, a revision level is appended to the name of the Implementation Review.

You can create an Implementation Review if the Defect Action is in any state other than Rejected or Closed.

Before you begin: View the Properties page for the Defect Action.

  1. From the page Actions menu or toolbar, click Initiate Implementation Review.
