Custom Field to execute shell script

Post by JWoodruff »

Greetings all,

I have a team with a specific need to be able to execute shell scripts at time of test execution. I would like to create a custom field that will allow them to add/edit the script with the test case and kick it off via a button or something at time of test execution. Does TestLink provide this functionality or has anyone build it out before?

Thanks,

Jeff

There is something that can be similar (not 100%).
There is possibility to request execution to a external XMLRPC server
We (dev team) have used XMLRPC just because till know our API is written with this kind of webservice approach.
I will try to find some docs about how this works and post some link here.
Using this example may be you can develop your solution.
