Abstract
A method for automatically provisioning a virtual machine based on the state of a defect work-item workflow for reproducing a defect associated with testing a software product is provided. The method may include identifying a defect in the software product. The method may also include identifying steps to reproduce the defect. The method may include producing an automation script to reproduce the defect. The method may include identifying a plurality of relevant environmental details associated with a state of the defect. The method may also include requesting a virtual machine provisioning system to provision a new virtual machine comprising the plurality of relevant environmental details and the produced automation script. Also, the method may include building the new virtual machine. The method may further include informing the defect tracking system that the new virtual machine is ready and including a plurality of updated machine connection details and a defect description.
