Multiple user integration with your issue manager now possible!

Till now it was possible to integrate single user of your issue manager with Test Collab profile. So it wasn’t possible to know which user actually reported that failure by looking at the defect in your issue manager, since the API was using a single user’s credentials. This week we have released a new feature which will let all your team members have their own credentials stored with Test Collab, so that when they report a new failure, the reporter(in your defect manager) would be automatically shown as the person who actually executed that test.

To configure this feature, simply follow these steps:

  • Login to your account, then go to edit profile
  • You will notice a link on bottom of this edit profile page, which goes something this:**
    • **
  • Clicking that link will take you to the page where you can specify your login credentials for your issue manager profile. These credentials will be stored with your Test Collab profile. Fields displayed on this page depends on the type of issue manager you use. Some issue managers like JIRA, Fogbugz and others do not require an API key, rather they need username and password. It will show you username and password automatically if that’s the case.


  • After clicking the ‘link account’ button you should see a message like ‘credentials stored successfully’. That means your issue manager account is now linked with your Test Collab profile.

    • Please note: this feature does not validate specified issue manager credentials, unlike our integration process. That means you’ll have two make sure you enter correct credentials otherwise new issues won’t be created when this user tries reporting a test failure. If some user’s profile is not linked to the issue manager, then the default user will be used as a reporter to report the defect. The default user is one which you have configured on issue manager integration page. As an administrator you can also go to user’s index and link their profiles one by one.

    Thanks to Amy Wan of Graph Net Health for reporting this enhancement. We hope you’ll enjoy this new feature. Thanks for reading the post.
