# Create defects during test execution with AI Copilot

When running a test, you can quickly create a defect the moment you notice a problem. Once you mark a step as failed or blocked, the system will offer you the option to generate a defect with AI Copilot. The AI will use all available information from your test case and test execution to create a complete and detailed defect for you.\
This saves time and reduces manual effort while ensuring consistent and high quality defect reporting.

How to start:

* Open a test case and start a test run.
* Follow the test steps as usual.
* When you find an issue during a step:
  * Enter the **actual result**
  * Attach any screenshots if needed
  * Select **Fail** or **Blocked** for the step

After marking the step as **Failed** or **Blocked**, a notification will appear suggesting to create a defect with AI Copilot.

Click **Create with AI.** AI Copilot gathers all relevant information automatically:

* Test case title and ID
* Step description
* Expected result
* Actual result you entered
* Any attachments you added
* Context from the execution

The system generates a complete defect draft that includes background information, steps to reproduce, actual and expected results.

You will see a preview window with the proposed defect. You can:

* Read the full content
* Regenerate the defect
* Cancel if you do not want to proceed
* Save when it looks correct

When you save:

* A new defect is created
* It is automatically linked to the test execution

* It is also automatically linked to the original test case
* Any files added during the execution are included in the defect
* You can continue your test run
