TestLink

IMPORTANT NOTICE 1.9.20 will be the last version of the 1.9.x family. Update 2025 With the help of AI code has been refactored to: test with PHP 8.x, currently 8.5.0 on Windows update the excel package resolve some PHP compatibilities issues. TestLink is a web based test management and test execution system. It enables quality assurance teams to create and manage their test cases as well as to organize them into test plans. These test plans allow team members to execute test cases and track test results dynamically. In an ideal world, testing would be a pretty straightforward process. A test team takes the product requirements, writes a test specification document, reviews the tests, and then runs them all for each version of the product. The team is composed of full-time staff, and everyone knows exactly what is expected of them. In practice, few organisations have that luxury. There is not time to run all the tests on every product version - especially on fix-releases that need to be rolled out quickly. Requirements are constantly changing, and the tests have to be changed in step. Test staff come and go. There are misunderstandings over who was supposed to run which tests, so some get missed. Management suddenly wants a status update at seven in the evening. In these situations you need the support of a test management tool, such as TestLink. The purpose of TestLink is to answer questions such as: For which requirements do we still need to write or update test cases? Which tests do you want me to run for this version? How much progress have we made on testing this release? Which test cases are currently failing, and what are the errors? On which version was this group of test cases last run, and is it time we ran them again? And ultimately: is this version of the product fit for release? TestLink helps you to keep the test process under control. It forms a repository for requirements and test cases, and relates these to builds, platforms and staff. You allocate tests to staff who carry them out and record the results. A wide variety of reports provide information on what has been done and what still needs to be done. This release contains bugfixes and enhancement for 1.9.19 See CHANGELOG file for detailed list of issues fixed. See [this forum post on max input vars][frm] or [this mantis issue][bug] for details. If you are going to re-import an XML file to update its test case data, the system might run out of memory. [The original issue][mem] was resolved with a memory limit value of 256MB. Since 1.9.17 there is new authorization method - using OAuth providers. Authentication against multiple oauth providers is supported. Currently it configured to work with Google OAuth and Github, but you can add any OAuth server that support protocol 2.0 and 2-step authentication. oauth grant type, oauth scope - specific parameters for several OAuth providers. They are not necessary Since 1.9.16 authentication against [Multiple LDAP Servers][ldap] is supported.
