Testuff with Mantis
What is Mantis?
Mantis is a free popular web-based bugtracking system. Mantis has been installed on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, OS/2, and others. Almost any web browser should be able to function as a client. It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
How does Testuff integrate with Mantis?
Although Testuff is a hosted service it can automatically send every reported defect to your Mantis account. You can run your manual tests using Testuff and continue to use Mantis as your bug tracker.
The integration is done by the desktop client. Therefore, 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.
How do I configure Mantis with Testuff?
- In Testuff, go to Settings > Bug Tracker.
- Choose Mantis from the bug trackers combo box.
- Set the Default Project. Defects exported from Testuff projects that do not have a custom Mantis project will be exported using this project name.
- Click the Set my Mantis user link and input your Mantis username and password. Defects opened by you in Testuff will be submitted to Mantis using these credentials.
- You may click the Create a sample bug report link to make sure Testuff can actually create bug reports in Mantis. If all goes well a new bug report should open in your web browser.
- Don't forget to click OK to save the settings.
Can I associate a custom Mantis project to a Testuff project?
Yep. If you wish to export defects from a certain Testuff project to a certain Mantis project, follow the instructions below. Projects that do not have a custom Mantis project set to them will use the default one from the general settings.
- Go to the home screen via the house icon at the top left.
- Click the Edit link next to the relevant Testuff project.
- Under Bug tracker setting fill in the Mantis project for this project.
- Click OK to save the settings.
