Launchpad itself

Functional Testing/requirements Tool and launchpad

Asked by AL

Hi,

I want to contribute to a project managed with launchpad. My contribution is about business part and especially requirements defintion and functional testing.

As lauchpad itself doesn't seem to provide solution for requirements defintion and functional testing (https://dev.launchpad.net/Testing), I would like to know which tools are best to use with launchpad.

For the moment, I saw that JIRA can be plugged to lauchpad to sync issues so I am thinking to use JIRA and Zephyr (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.thed.zephyr.je/cloud/overview)...

Any other idea?

Thanking you in advance

Alex

We don't have specific recommendations here, I'm afraid. In general terms, Launchpad supports webhooks (https://help.launchpad.net/API/Webhooks) to tell external services when objects in Launchpad have changed (currently only Bazaar branches, Git repositories, or merge proposals, but we're open to adding more), and this should be usable to integrate with various third-party testing services. Other services can get data out of Launchpad using our webservice API (https://help.launchpad.net/API), which is easiest if the service is written in Python but possible in other languages too.

But in this specific case, you may well know more about this particular problem space than we do, so I hope that this helps narrow things down a little bit. Do let us know what you find!

Thank you very much Colin for your message.

It is great if webhooks can link launchpad to JIRA. However, according to what you wrote, it seems that webhook does not allow to create object (i.e. launchpag bug) which may actually be a problem for my project need.

The idea is that if requirements and tests are managed in JIRA, bugs will be created during the test execution process in JIRA so JIRA's bug should be "pushed" from JIRA to launchpad as launchpad is the developpement environment for my specific project.

I would be quite interesting to have your point of view about this issue and this pre-draft solution. The fact is that the project will start in January and I am searching for the most integrated solution.

Unrelated comment: I saw on your overview that you contribute to Ubuntu project. As it is the first time that I have an opportunity to chat with someone related to this project, I just wanted to say that I am a big fan since 2005 and thank you for this nice OS.

Can you help with this problem?
