Benefit of Jira and Testlink integration?

[dragandragan04]

Hi,

We use Jira and I got task to investigate benefit of Testlink and Jira integration. I finished it and it work well but it is not what we expected. It seems that only adventage is because we can access to Jira from test link, create issue and after that save in testlink link to the bug in Jira. We expected the next: If test case failed, we type description in test link, click on the link to Jira, and automaticaly new issue in Jira is opened with filled which are populated with values from testlink ( from example steps and description from test link are filed in Jira description field, title in Jira have value of testlink use case title etc, maybe only some field should adjust in Jira - like priority).

Can Jira and Testlink provide that? It can be really useful.

Surely u can do so, you can use the API of Jira for the same to initiate the same, Read more info in the JIRA API Documentation. Or more of Write a JIRA Plugin to do so.

dragandragan04 Were you able to get your expected results, create an issue from testlink itself? If so was where did you find the information need to help you do this?

Hi dragandragan04:

That is exactly what I'm looking for. I have read through the forums extensively and cannot find any documentation or way to have TestLink create an issue in Jira.

We have the default TestLink to Jira integration working and it is a little helpful, but you have to manually create the issue in Jira and then link it back. I too was expecting to click the little bug icon and have it perhaps prompt for a Jira project key and automatically create a Jira defect based on fields in the test case.

creating a issue on any BTS directly from testlink requires lot of mapping bewteen TL concepts and BTS concepts, and is not as simple as users thinks.
Any functional contribution is wlecomed
