TestLink With Automation tools

Hi,
I am considering using TestLink however we have a number of automated scripts in QTP that I want to be able to add to TestLink and execute them from TestLink. Could someone tell me if this is possible and if possible any sample code. Many thanks,

Raj

As much as I know such code is in review for the next 1.8 release.

An interesting thought is why more people haven't reversed this process at all.

QTP is designed to execute against web pages, and TL is a series of these. It is just as simple to reverse the order and develop classes in QTP (or other automated testing tools) to interact with TL in the desired fashion as it would be to configure any web based TCM to drive the automated test tool. Learning the correct direct manipulation of the MySQL tables is also an option if your automation suite supports it.

That said, I'll be looking forward to seeing what 1.8 has to offer.

accesing directly to MySQL tables is a poor option.
Instead use TL api and ask for enhancement is needed.
