You can use HockeyApp to create bugs for crash reports and track feedback in several bug tracking systems directly. In this post we will see how we can create crash issues as defect in Visual Studio Team Services. The configuration steps are quite simple and can be achieved by following below steps.

Before your precede with the bug tracking, make sure you are aware of how to deploy your app to HockeyApp and how to enable the crash reporting for the same.

Step 1

Launch the HockeyApp portal
Navigate to the App dashboard.

You will find the “Configure” option for the Bug Tracker at very first time and when there is nothing yet set for tracking bug.

Step 2

Click on the “Configure” link
It will bring the list of all the supported services for bug tracker.

Step 3

Select the “Visual Studio Team Services” from the list
It will start authenticating with your VSTS account.

Step 4

Once authentication is successful, you can select your team project for the app and where you want to log all work items.

Select the Auto Create Ticket Options Checked for both Crashes and Feedback , this will log the Issues directly in VSTS as soon as there are Crashes or feedback

Step 5

When there are Crashes , you may navigate back to your VSTS portal and will find same work item as been log as defect.

This is really cool and very easy to track issues and fixing it as part of your development life cycle.

Once the bug tracker is configured, you should be able to see the “Visual Studio Team Services’’ option for the same. Click on it, to edit settings or remove it.
