Defects and briefs

Every bug should come
with a clear next step.

Qarmiq connects a defect to the behavior it broke and the evidence that exposed it, giving developers and coding agents a clearer path to reproducing and investigating the issue.

The real thing

A finding that explains itself.

The defect names the promise it breaks, and the brief is written from the evidence that was recorded.

  • The brief covers what happened, what was expected, the steps to reproduce, the environment, what is still unknown and what to check next
  • It can be copied as Markdown
  • A manual test log highlights the failing requests and console errors

Where it stands. Sending findings out as issues, tickets or pull requests is on the roadmap.

In practice

What it does.

01

Understand what went wrong.

Each defect links to the relevant scenario, check, and run. See the expected behavior alongside the observed failure and its supporting evidence.

02

Make the problem reproducible.

Captured steps, annotated screenshots, and relevant errors help the team understand how the issue occurred and what needs further investigation.

03

Give your coding agent the context to help.

Generate a developer brief from the captured evidence, including what happened, what was expected, how to reproduce the issue, and what remains unknown.

Why “which rule” matters

A finding is a broken promise, not a stack trace.

Because every defect is tied to a scenario and a check, a developer reads it as what must hold and did not.

Linked to the promise

Each defect points at the scenario, check and run where it was found, so severity is read against what it breaks.

Repeats are skipped

Qarmiq compares new findings with ones already raised, including dismissed ones, and does not raise them again.

Handed to your coding agent

Developers and their AI coding agents pull the full finding into their editor over MCP.

We will walk a real defect from the broken promise to the brief your agent would start from.
