Hi,
I am currently on an internship. My task for today is ti test our new shop application with testlink.
Testlink runs fine on the local xampp.
I logged in as "admin"
Then I defined the specifications
But how do I go to "execute test" I get to ses the specified specifications.
But what next?
The Uusermanual is not very helpfull in this case (or I had to less coffe this morning)
Any Help?

testlink workflow
After you have created your testspec, (with Testsuites and Testcases) you have to create a testplan.
The testplan is the place, where you can execute your testcases.
Create a testplan and asign some or all testcases to this testplan.
Home --- Testplan: add testcases ......
After this you must create a Build for this testplan.
Now you are able to execute testcases. This means, you can set a teststatus to the testcases inside your testplan.
An available teststatus is for example: ok, failed, blocked.....
After this, you can make for example a testreport-document in WORD about the tests.
I hope this will help you to go ahead in Testlink.
When you read the TL-user manual, you will see much more details about the short description above.

Am I then correct that testlink is more of a test database (which tests PASS and FAIL) then a tool to automatically run my tests?
For Example:
my specification paper says:
*test for SQL-injections
*test for http-get (should not be used)
and
so
on
That would be not good (luckily I did not propose testlink, as I wrote I am on a mere internship
)

You are correct! Testlink is a Test-Management Tool.
You have a Testspec Database, and you can set the tests of this database, to failed or ok.
This is possible in a manually manner or automatically via API-Commands.
But the API-commands are not part of my world. I only have skills in doing the Testlink-Application as a manually Testmanagement-Tool.
