Testuff with Elementool

Elementool website

How does Testuff integrate with Elementool?

Although Testuff is a hosted service it can automatically send every reported defect to your Elementool account. You can run your manual tests with Testuff and continue to use Elementool for bug tracking.

The integration is done by the desktop client. Therefore, it should work also if you host Elementool on an internal server. Our server doesn't need to access your bug tracker server and you don't need to change anything in your security or firewall configuration to make it work.

How do I configure Elementool with Testuff?

Elementool configuration Elementool user configuration
  1. In Testuff, go to Settings > Bug Tracker.
  2. Choose Elementool from the bug trackers combo box.
  3. Fill in your Elementool account name.
  4. Set the Default Product. Defects exported from Testuff projects that do not have a custom Elementool product will be exported using this product name.
  5. Click the Set my Elementool user link and input your Elementool username and password. Defects opened by you in Testuff will be submitted to Elementool using these credentials.
  6. You may click the Create a sample bug report link to make sure Testuff can create bug reports in Elementool. If all goes well the new bug report should be displayed.
  7. Don't forget to click OK to save the settings.

Can I associate a custom Elementool product to a Testuff project?

Yep. If you wish to export defects from a certain Testuff project to a certain Elementool product, follow the instructions below. Projects that do not have a custom Elementool product set to them will use the default one from the general settings.

  1. Go to the home screen via the house icon at the top left.
  2. Click the Edit link next to the relevant Testuff project.
  3. Under Bug tracker setting fill in the Elementool product for this Testuff project.
  4. Click OK to save the settings.

When I view Elementool tickets, why are they opened locally?

Most bug trackers allow accessing tickets directly via a simple URL. If you aren't logged in to the tracker, they let you login first and then redirect to the relevant ticket automatically.

With Elementool this is not the case, so we are forced to open tickets locally. We may solve this in the future, sorry for any inconveniences in the meanwhile.
