TestLink Integration

Last modified: 17 December 2019

If you use the TestLink test management system for quality assurance, you can integrate this system and use YouTrack to track bugs.

To integrate YouTrack with TestLink:

tip

Requires permissions: Read Issue, Create Issue

  1. Log in to your TestLink instance with an administrator account.

  2. Open the System > Issue Tracker Management page and click the Create button.

  3. In the Create configuration dialog, enter a name for the configuration and select youtrack (interface: rest) from the Type drop-down list.

  4. In the Configuration field, provide the following information:

    • Enter the credentials for the account that is used to log in to YouTrack. To link existing issues from YouTrack to TestLink cases, this user must have Read Issue permission in the YouTrack project. To create new issues in directly from TestLink, this user must have Create Issue permission in the YouTrack project, and the project ID must be specified in the configuration.

    • Enter the baseURL of your YouTrack instance. Do not add a trailing slash to the URL.

    • Optionally, you can specify the ID of a project to which issues created in TestLink are added. If you do not specify a projectID, you can only link existing issues to TestLink cases.

  5. When done, click Save.

  6. Open the Test Project Management section.

  7. Select your TestLink project and edit it.

    • Enable the issue tracker integration.

    • Select the YouTrack integration as the issue tracker for your project.

  8. Save the settings in your project.

Use the following template to configure the integration. You can also click the Show configuration example link next to the Type drop-down list to show a similar template in the configuration dialog.

note

As long as the configuration is provided by TestLink developers, they can change the template at any time without notification. Check your configuration with the TestLink configuration example.

<!-- Template youtrackrestInterface -->
<issuetracker>
    <username>YOUTRACK LOGIN NAME</username>
    <password>YOUTRACK PASSWORD</password>
    <!-- IMPORTANT NOTICE -->
    <!-- uribase CAN NOT END with slash symbol -->
    <uribase>the baseURL of your YouTrack instance</uribase>
    <!-- Configure project if you want to Add issues from TestLink -->
    <project>YOUTRACK PROJECT ID</project>
</issuetracker>

note

There was a known issue with the sample configuration that was provided by Test Link. The sample used invalid closing tags for comments. If you encounter a problem, check the closing tags for slashes. You can also safely delete all of the comments from the sample.

Using the Integration

When the integration is successfully configured, log in to TestLink and execute a test case. When the test case is executed, the Bug management option is enabled.

Bug management
