### 3.24.4. Creating tasks in external repositories from test result reports

You can create a new task with pre-filled information directly from an open test result report in the Test Result View. This is useful if a test has failed and you want to create e.g. an issue in your bug-tracking system for the failure.

1. In an open test result report, select the node that best describes the test failure (e.g. a Test Case or Test Step that has failed, or the whole Test Suite, then right-click and select:

   Create a Mylyn Task

   from the context-sensitive menu.

2. In the dialog that appears, select a repository in which to create the task. A local repository is available by default, but you can also add connections to Bugzilla and Trac repositories by clicking ”Add Task Repository” in the New Task Dialog. Connectors to other repositories can also be added. See the Mylyn documentation for more details on adding repositories.

3. Click ”Finish” once you have selected your repository.

4. The editor for a new task will appear. It is pre-filled with information relevant to the node that you selected. Edit the task to make it descriptive enough for a bug report and save the editor.

5. Once you have created a task, you can activate it to start saving your context for this task. See the later section (Section 3.24.3.2, “Working on tasks in the ITE”) for details.
