Abstract
In a software development environment, a system and method for associating an assert with a unique identifier ('assert tag'), and using the unique identifier to store information associated with the assert in a database. Based on the unique identifier, information associated with the assert can be stored in a database or repository that contains assert information. This information can be updated, as well as displayed to the developer or tester. Information for the bugs associated with the assert can be retrieved from a database containing bug information and displayed to the developer or tester. Once the developer or tester has been presented with the information concerning the bugs associated with the assert, or other information associated with the assert, the developer or tester can choose to enter or log-in a new bug into the database containing bug information.
