Azure Boards

Share bug reports instantly to Azure Boards as Azure work items.

BetterBugs integration with Azure DevOps Boards

With BetterBugs, you can streamline defect reporting and management by sending bug reports directly to your connected Azure project board.

After capturing an issue and linking your BetterBugs project to Azure, you can create and send Azure Work Items straight from the bug report screen. You can easily access the complete bug report with shared links and details within your Azure project.

Steps to integrate BetterBugs with Azure DevOps Boards

BetterBugs Integration with Azure Boards

1

Install extension

Install the extension and pin it to the browser for quick access.

2

Capture the bug

Take a screenshot, record a video, or hit Rewind (if it's already enabled for the website).

3

Enter bug details

Add a title* (Required) and other bug details about the bug.

4

Choose the BetterBugs workspace and project to connect

Below the "Send to your tools" dropdown, select the BetterBugs Workspace and Project to connect with Boards.

• Dropdown 1: User's Workspace (default: BetterBugs Workspace Name)

• Dropdown 2: User's Project (default: BetterBugs Project Name)

NOTE: The integration will happen to the specific project you selected within BetterBugs. This means that if you have multiple projects, you'll need to set up separate integrations for each one. You can also integrate your entire workspace with the tool.

5

Connect with Azure Boards

Click on "Connect Azure Boards" and authorize BetterBugs for Azure (for the selected project).

6

Enter details for the Azure work item

Click the "Send to Azure Work Item" dropdown from the top right corner of your screen.

You'll see that the "Azure Work Item" option is activated and a report template is displayed under "Your Azure Boards task info" with all the fields. Add details, such as Organization, Project, Type, and others.

7

Send report

Hit the "Upload Bug Details" button.

This creates a new Azure Work Item and opens up in a new tab. You’ll find the work item with all the details that you added and a link to the complete bug report with the devtools info.

Using the link, you can easily navigate to the BetterBugs dashboard to access the complete report with all the info that you just captured.

The integration is complete, and you’ve successfully shared the bug report with your Azure project.

To check if the integration worked correctly and the report was shared with your Azure project,

1. Open the report that you just shared (using the Issue report link from the Azure Boards task or your BetterBugs project).

2. Click on the Comments/Activities tab at the bottom right to check for a successful task creation message or any other activity on it. Make sure to enable the “Activities” with the toggle switch.
