Testuff with Trac

What is Trac?

Trac is a wiki and issue tracking system which we've been using here at Testuff for two years. We highly recommend this open source project for the day-to-day bug tracking and development management.

You can install Trac on your own servers. We found that hosting it at http://www.hosted-projects.com is much more convenient. Michael Goettsche is a great guy and the service he provides is absolutely top notch.

How does Testuff integrate with Trac?

Although Testuff is a hosted service it can automatically send every reported defect to your Trac account. You can run your manual tests using Testuff and continue to use Trac 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 Trac with Testuff?

In Testuff, go to Settings > Bug Tracker.
Choose Trac from the bug trackers combo box.
Click the Set my Trac user link and input your Trac username and password. Defects opened by you in Testuff will be submitted to Trac using these credentials.
You may click the Create a sample bug report link to make sure Testuff can actually create bug reports in Trac. 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 Trac project to a Testuff project?

Nope. Trac doesn't currently support managing projects. Therefore, configuring different Trac projects for different Testuff projects isn't available at the moment.

Trac integration doesn't work, what should I do?

You should try the Trac XmlRpc selection. You will need to install XmlRpcPlugin and give the user the XML_RPC permission. This configuration is suitable for heavily modified Trac themes and installations with AccountManagerPlugin installed.
