About Defects and Remote Defects
A defect represents an issue associated with a software artifact in Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software. The software artifact could be a Windchill object such as a software build. A remote defect represents a defect or an issue reported for a software artifact or a hardware component using a defect-tracking system.
A defect has no primary content. However, it can have any number of user-specified attachments as the secondary content. It can be associated with a remote defect. In such cases, a one-to-one associativity always exists between the defect in Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software and the remote defect. A defect can be associated with the following Windchill objects:
• Subtypes of an enterprise part—Software part
• Subtypes of an enterprise document—Software build, software configuration data, software document
A user can create a defect in Windchill only if the user has an access to the defect-tracking system where the associated remote defect resides.
