Link Existing Defects to User Stories

Defects can also be associated directly with user stories or requirements, allowing teams to understand which business requirements are impacted by a particular issue.

To link a defect to a user story:

• Open the required User Story.

• From the right-side panel, click Link Defect.

• Select the appropriate defect from the list.

• Click Done.

• The selected defect is now associated with the user story.

By linking defects to requirements, product owners, business analysts, QA engineers, and developers can quickly identify all issues affecting a user story, improving requirement traceability and ensuring every impacted requirement is addressed before release.
