Analysis

Overview

In this revision the current setup of TestLink should be improved

Task requirements

Requirements from the previous revision

• SMTP server should be set up - The smtp server is needed in order to send forgotten passwords.
• Permissions should be cleared -
  • Registered users should have the permission to view the tests and add comments if possible.
  • Team members should have the permission to view, edit and execute tests (create test plans, etc).

Requirements for this revision

• Integration between trac and testlink is needed. The documentation for this is in related section.
• Check if all team members have an account with appropriate permissions.

Task result

TestLink with trac integration. Appropriate permissions and ability to create an account.

Implementation idea

A fragment from the user documentation of testlink:

Copy the following lines from config.inc.php to custom_config.inc.php.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/** [Bug Tracking systems] */
/**
* TestLink uses bugtracking systems to check if displayed bugs resolved, verified,
* and closed bugs. If they are it will strike through them
*
* NO : no bug tracking system integration
* BUGZILLA : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/bugzilla.cfg.php
* MANTIS : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/mantis.cfg.php
* JIRA : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/jira.cfg.php
* TRACKPLUS : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/trackplus.cfg.php
*/
$g_interface_bugs='NO';
On custom_config.inc.php change line:
$g_interface_bugs='NO';
Final result:
$g_interface_bugs='MANTIS';
tl-

This configuration is for mantis. Trac config should be similar. In testing section you may create a new user account to test the setup.

How to demo

Show testlink and create a simple demonstation of testcase connected with a ticket.

Design

• Thoroughly research testlink's user documentation
• You can download .pdf document from ​http://www.teamst.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=11&Itemid=32
• In the document there are instructions and examples of how to set up SMTP server.
• The documentation of testlink 1.7 is more detailed and suitable for us than the documentation of testlink 1.8, because we are using testlink 1.7.4.
• Install SMTP server - postfix
• Integrate SMTP server and testlink editing sophie:/home/scs/testlink/custom_config.inc.php, i.e:

  $g_tl_admin_email = 'pacitu@gmail.com';
  $g_from_email = 'testlink@sophie2.org';
  $g_return_path_email = 'no_replay@sophie2.org';
  $g_mail_priority = 5;
  $g_smtp_host = 'localhost';
  

• You need admin account for testlink for the next steps
• From User administration -> View roles revise and decide different privileges about different types of users.

Implementation

• After research of testlink user documentation some attempts were made, until we have the best result
• Now testlink sends mail with new password to the mail that was assigned to each testlink user
• Integration between testlink and smtp server was made as described in design (by editing sophie:/home/scs/testlink/custom_config.inc.php):

  $g_tl_admin_email = 'pacitu@gmail.com';
  $g_from_email = 'testlink@sophie2.org';
  $g_return_path_email = 'no_replay@sophie2.org';
  $g_mail_priority = 5;
  $g_smtp_host = 'localhost';
  

• Roles and privileges were redefined, in future we probably will remove some obsolete user types.
