Matching Defects enables US to eliminate duplicate or similar defects in project. When we add a new defect, QC STORES list of keywords from the Summary and Description Fields. When we search for similar defects, keywords in these fields are matched against other defects. Keywords are more than two characters and they are not case sensitive. We have two METHODS to conduct search of similar defects.

• FINDING similar Defects: compare a selected defect with all other EXISTING defects in project.
• Finding similar Text: compare a specific test string against all other existing defects in project.
