Testlink

The main demo has now been updated to point to 1.7.3.

There is still an old demo of Testlink 1.6 available if you need to access it for some reason. It is highly recommended all users upgrade to 1.7 as 1.6 is no longer being maintained and 1.7 offers significant benefits over 1.6.

Many changes have been made to the Testlink API based on feedback. Please update your client API implementations to match these changes. The new API is available as a zip file or in the nightly builds.

API URL has moved to /lib/api/xmlrpc.php instead of /api/xmlrpc.php

5 additional methods are now available for testing

Updated documentation for these methods is available

Updated client implementations and additional methods will be coming shortly

Please keep testing and sending feedback.

The Testlink API is finally ready for testing! The code should work with cvs head (1.8) and the 1.7 branch. It will show up in the nightly builds (only in head). As this is a beta it is not yet recommended you install this on a production system. Please file any bugs you find to mantis. Sample client implementations are also available in PHP, Ruby, Python, and Java. There is also API Documentation available. Currently only TC execution results can be reported through the API, and other methods are coming soon. If there are other methods you’d like to see please comment.

Installation

1. Backup your original database or create a copy for testing
2. Download the api code in one of the following ways
   1. Download latest code from nightly builds
   2. Download API only zip
3. Execute api_sql_changes.sql against your db inside the /api directory
4. Insert a row into the api_developer_keys table with a developer_key for testingExample:

   INSERT INTO `api_developer_keys` ( `id` , `developer_key` , `user_id` ) VALUES ( NULL , 'testKey', '1' );

5. See one of the client implementation samples to see how to interact with the API.

We have had many questions on how to install PEAR and Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer which are both now dependencies of Testlink. So here is some information on how to accomplish these tasks.
If you need to setup PEAR I have created a document for doing so on Windows. It is located at http://asiel.us/pear.php

Also here are the instructions I wrote for the INSTALL_NOTES as part of Testlink.

========================================
Installing pear
========================================
1. open a command prompt or terminal window
2. If php is not in your path cd to your php install directory (eg. c:\php5)
3. run “pear version” to make sure you have pear installed
3a. Download and run the go-pear script from http://pear.php.net/go-pear
3b. Read http://asiel.us/pear.php for detailed instructions on installing PEAR in windows
3b. If you need additional instructions go to http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php
4. run “pear install -a Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-beta”
5. This should install the latest version of Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer and its dependencies

Testlink 1.7 is available and is currently in Beta. The best place to download the latest release is from the nightly cvs tarballs. These are available here
