Metadata to aid in debugging

When you create an Asana task, Test Observability logs the following Metadata and other information to the Asana task and makes debugging easier:

• Session URL to view the issue on BrowserStack
• Build Name
• Build ID
• CI Environment
• CI Build URL
• Test Name
• Test URL
• Test Status
• Operating System
• Browser name and version
• Host Name
• Defect Type
• Duration
• isAutoAnalyzed flag
• Status of Build Runs
• Error message or exception
• Environment

As Test Observability automatically logs this information onto the Asana task, you can reduce manual work, debug faster, and improve the data quality of your Asana bugs.
