This is an example of how you can integrate SoloSubmit with Active Directory.
There are two pieces to make this work. First, you must have a login page to authenticate the user against Active Directory. There are several examples out there, and I have chosen to use ASP.NET with C#.

With the release of TestTrack 2009, we added a really great plug-in architecture to allow for integrating 3rd party reporting tools into your TestTrack installation. With this users can create and run reports directly from their desktop client, just like a native report. Today I want to highlight the SQL Server Reporting Services integration we have, to show you how easy and seamless it is to provide users with customized reports.

For performing peer code reviews, there isn’t a better tool than Smart Bear Software’s Code Collaborator. Even if you already have a working solution, their free book “Best Kept Secrets of Peer Code Review“ is a great read.
Code Collaborator 5.0 is in beta and SmartBear has added direct support for our version control tool, Surround SCM. You can learn about Code Collaborator 5.0′s new features and download the beta at their web site. If you don’t already use Surround SCM, you can get a free single-user license.

The reporting plug-in architecture in TestTrack and Surround SCM enables some pretty exciting reporting and dashboard integration possibilities.
You’ll find a complete SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) plug-in on this page, which allows you to view reports created in SSRS from the TestTrack and Surround SCM clients.

Reducing lag time between testing and resolving problems is critical. Email notification of test results gets the necessary information to the appropriate person in a fast, direct manner. Here are two ways to email tests results in a QA Wizard Pro script:

This example uses Microsoft .NET charts to create a stacked column chart that reports on check-in activity per branch per month.
Figure 1 below illustrates how the chart may look like:

This is an example of how you could use the data accessible from the Surround SCM database to display information on your company’s intranet.
For this example we are using Microsoft Sharepoint, but in theory you could use any web technology that allows you to query the database and has similar controls, namely the tree view controls and the data grid view control.

Linking test cases with requirements can be a critical part of proper traceability. How this is done can depend on the how requirements and test cases are tracked and the level of tracebility needed.
With TestTrack users, one part of the equation is already answered. Test cases are tracked using TestTrack TCM and this provides a flexible, yet robust application that tracks testing efforts while meeting compliance requirements.
So the other part of the equation is how are requirements handled? Some of our users have taken many approaches: Continue reading…
This is an example of how you can create a Requisite Pro add-in to create TestTrack test cases.
This example creates a very basic test case based on the selected requirement in the Requisite Pro explorer.

Works with Surround SCM 2008
We have a large number of customers who move to Surround SCM from Subversion. One of things they look for is a way to “convert” their existing data to Surround. In general, our experience has been that this may not be the best answer. When you move to a new SCM system, you want to structure the data in way that takes advantage of the new system. In addition, it’s not possible to move the data over with perfect fidelity. The concepts in one system rarely map perfectly to the new system.
With all those caveats, I’ve created a script to assist in migrating to Surround from Subversion.
