TestLink and Bugzilla integration
TestLink and Bugzilla integration
In our case we had the following landscape of installations:
- Bugzilla has Oracle 10g database on a separate server
- Testlink has MSSQL 2000 database on a separate server
Bugzilla and Testlink were installed on the same Linux server
Integration how to
The official guide at http://www.teamst.org/_tldoc/1.7/tl-bts-howto.pdf is not so descriptive.
The probability to face problems is quite hight.
So edit a file …/testlink/cfg/bugzilla.cfg.php
/** DB host to use when connecting to the Bugzilla db */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_HOST', 'your_oracle_host');
/** name of the database that contains the Bugzilla tables */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_NAME', 'xxx'); // - this is a name of the oracle instance or SID
/** charset of the database that contains the Bugzilla tables */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** useful if you have several schemas see BUGID 1444*/
// define('BUG_TRACK_DB_SCHEMA', '');
/** DB type used for the bugtracking db */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_TYPE','oci8'); // usually people use oracle, but you really need to use oci8, please be shure that you have OCI8 PHP Extension installed
/** DB user and password to use for connecting to the Bugzilla db */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_USER', 'user');
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_PASS', 'pass');
/** link to the bugtracking system, for viewing bugs */
define('BUG_TRACK_HREF', "http://yourdomain/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=");
if you would like just a link to bugzilla, then just put as it is said in the integration guide
define('BUG_TRACK_ENTER_BUG_HREF',"http://yourdomain/bugzilla/);
but if ou have only one product to register bugs then it is mor euser friendly to have the folowing line instead:
define('BUG_TRACK_ENTER_BUG_HREF',"http://yourdomain/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=yyy");
where yyy is a name of the product in bugzilla.
then
Inside …/testlink/custom_config.inc.php file create line:
$g_interface_bugs=’BUGZILLA’;
Possible problems you can face up with:
1. Warnings inside log files like
Just go to file adodb-oci8.inc.php or adodb-mssql.inc.php
and copy-paste function parameters from adodb.inc.php
for example change in adodb-oci8.inc.php from
function MetaPrimaryKeys($table)
to
function MetaPrimaryKeys($table, $owner=false,$internalKey=false)
etc.
2. Table or view does not exist while trying to view failed execution of tast case or test results
Have spent several hours trying to fix an error ORA-00942: table or view does not exist while integrating TestLink and Bugzilla.
This is because the actual query that goes to oracle looks like:
SELECT bug_status FROM xxx.bugs WHERE bug_id=’123′
Where xxx is database name from bugzilla config /testlink/cfg/bugzilla.cfg
/** name of the database that contains the Bugzilla tables */
define(’BUG_TRACK_DB_NAME’, ‘xxx’);
Change file
..\testlink\lib\bugtracking\int_bugzilla.php
line 79 from
$query = “SELECT bug_status FROM {$this->dbSchema}.bugs WHERE bug_id=’” . $id.”‘”;
to
$query = “SELECT bug_status FROM bugs WHERE bug_id=’” . $id.”‘”;
and line 110 from
$query = “SELECT short_desc FROM {$this->dbSchema}.bugs WHERE bug_id=’” . $id.”‘”;
to
$query = “SELECT short_desc FROM bugs WHERE bug_id=’” . $id.”‘”;
3. Sometimes it is quite hard to test even a simple query against oracle server
I had the situation, when oracle client and testlink code were on a linux machine, where I did not have root access rights or sqlplus to execute queries
A good piece of software helped
OracleEditor.php from http://oracleeditor.sourceforge.net/
in order to connect without troubles put into database name oracle connection string like
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=your_oracle.host.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=xxx)))
change your host and SID in this string and then just copy-paste to “Service name:” field










Уважаемый Антон,
у меня возникли трудности с TestLink, правда интеграция с Jira а не Bugzilla, backend у Jira – oracle. Хотелось бы проконсультироваться.
хорошо бы по Skype

Hello Webmaster, I noticed that http://anton.vedeshin.com/uncategorized/testlink-and-bugzilla-integration is ranking pretty low on Google and has a low Google PageRank. Now the Google PageRank is how Google is able to see how relevant your webpage is compared to all the other webpages online, if you cannot rank high at the top of Google, then you will NOT get the traffic you need. Now usually trying to get to the top of Google costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars and very highly optimized targeted marketing campaigns that takes a team of experts months to achieve. However, we can show you how to get to the top of Google with no out of pocket expenses (free traffic), no stupid ninja tricks, no silly mind control techniques, and this will be all white hat with no blackhat software or tactics that could possibly land you on bad terms with Google and put you in the dreaded “Google Sandbox”. We’ll show you how to easily capture all the targeted traffic you need, for free, multiple ways to land fast (not months) first-page rankings in Google and other major search engines (Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc), even show you strategies on how to earn daily commissions just try Ranking Top of Google, please check out our 5 minute video.
