Defect reporting in application testing

A defect reporting system for defect reporting in application testing, the defect reporting system comprising:

• a processor;
• a defect displaying module coupled to the processor to,
• determine a category of application testing based on a testing instance of an application, wherein the category of application testing is indicative of an aspect of the application being tested;
• cause a display of a list of previously reported defects associated with the determined category of application testing in a display layer, the display layer being displayed over the testing instance of the application;
• and
• a defect reporting module coupled to the processor to,
• receive details of a new defect being reported by a user, wherein the details of the new defect are received through an add-defect graphic user interface displayed over the testing instance of the application, and wherein the details comprise defect metadata of the new defect;
• and
• tag the details of the new defect with the category of application testing.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer readable instructions for defect reporting in application testing, executable by a processing resource of a computing device to:

• determine a category of application testing based on a testing instance of an application, wherein the category of application testing is indicative of an aspect of the application being tested;
• cause a display of a list of previously reported defects associated with the determined category of application testing in a display layer, the display layer being displayed over the testing instance of the application;
• receive a user-input indicative of one of acceptance and rejection of a previously reported defect, from the list of previously reported defects, with respect to the testing instance of the application;
• determine whether the previously reported defect is irrelevant to the testing instance of the application, wherein the previously reported defect is determined to be irrelevant based on aggregation of the user-input with previous user-inputs indicative of one of acceptance and rejection of the previously reported defect;
• and
• remove the previously reported defect from the list when the previously reported defect is determined to be irrelevant to the testing instance of the application.
