What is the best practice when a ticket fails QA: reopen the ticket or create a new one?

Dirk Vansina

What if a ticket failed QA-testing:

In the past, we always created a new ticket (linked with the original ticket) because it was easier to follow up and quickly see what needed to be done (fi. fix a specifiek button).

But now we are trying to figure out the total actual costs of our new features and it is more easier when all work time is logged in 1 single ticket. (sub-tickets can be used to track issues)

What do most organizations do? Create a new ticket or reopen the original ticket?

Hi @Dirk Vansina ,

that point is one of the most discussed in the community! From my perspective, the best way is to have a workflow that, in case of failure in QA, ticket can be moved back to dev in order to fix the issue. Pro of that approach is that history of ticket, including comments, branch/code/commit and all other information are available to developer.

Reopening the original ticket is better way to track all the efforts, total actual costs etc.

@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ For reopening tickets: would it be best to add a new status 'reopend for development' (which is equal in the flow as the status 'selected for development')? Or try to reuse the previous statusses of much as possible? What do most organizations do?

Personally, I reuse the existing status

I know the theme of this thread was at the QA stage. However @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ and @Deepak Rai I'm keen to get a view of closed tickets that have been released to production. My view is this should be be a case that is not in support of re-opening? Thanks
