TestLink & Scarab

Post by echo1212 »

I know that Testlink can perfect connect with some defect tracking tools: Bugfree, Mantis, etc.

But my quesiton is we have used Scarab as our defect tracking system. Then I need manual add the defect number to related with related test case. If there any good advices how can I do is better?

-Thanks

The same method is used with mantis, i.e.
1. from TL you can launch the mantis report issue page
2. then you write down the ID created by mantis
3. return to TL and input this value bugid field,and submit.

Now is posssible for TL go at DB level to get info from Mantis DB

All you need to know to build the interface for scarab, is read the code
developed for mantis and adapt it.

It is really great news for me! Thanks for reply.

One more question, do I need install the Testlink and Scarab on the same server?

I have found some articles mentioned that if I want to combine Testlink and Mantis together, I must keep the DB on the same machine. But from the CFG.PHP, I find actually we can give the Mantis host and DB location.
