This video tutorial demonstrates how to integrate GitLab Issues with TestRail, allowing users to report defects directly to GitLab from TestRail and to view GitLab issue details within TestRail. The integration process begins by configuring the GitLab plugin within a TestRail project’s settings. Users can set up integration on a project level or globally for all TestRail projects. Key setup steps include obtaining and adding a GitLab access token, server URL, and project ID into TestRail.
The tutorial covers configuring both the Defect View and Defect Add URLs to enable seamless defect tracking, allowing TestRail users to view GitLab issues linked to test results and to push new defects directly to GitLab without leaving TestRail. Users can customize the fields shown in the “Push” dialog for new defects and add any custom fields from GitLab to improve traceability.
For the Reference integration, the process is similar. By configuring the Reference View and Add URLs, TestRail users can access GitLab issue details and create references for requirements tracking. This setup allows for real-time information previews of GitLab issues directly within TestRail, supporting comprehensive test coverage and traceability.
Ideal for teams aiming to streamline defect tracking and enhance test traceability, this integration boosts productivity by linking TestRail’s test management capabilities with GitLab’s issue tracking.
