Hey everyone! We're trying to enhance our QA process and want the test results to flow smoothly into our CI/CD dashboards. Ideally, we want test cases, executions, and reports to connect directly with Jenkins or GitHub Actions. I know a few tools like TestRail and Zephyr that offer integrations, but they often feel a bit too heavy. I recently discovered Tuskr, which seems more lightweight. For teams that are pushing fast releases, do you prefer keeping it simple with just basic reporting in the pipeline, or do you actually integrate your automation with a test management platform? Which tools have you found work well in a DevOps environment?

Make sure you choose a certified ALM! We use Polarion and while I’m not a huge fan, it gets the job done. It allows test runs to be well-managed and automated. For safety-critical projects, it’s a must! However, for quicker features, you might want to consider a lighter test management tool to ingest results from CI for traceability and defect links. Tuskr looks promising for that since it lets CI push results after builds, keeping everything organized.
If you're looking for a lightweight way to integrate with CI/CD, Allure TestOps might be worth checking out. It integrates nicely with both Jenkins and GitHub Actions while keeping things streamlined. Plus, you can link JUnit results directly, providing better traceability in your workflows. This way, it could work well for fast-paced dev environments without the bulk of traditional tools. Here's a link to [a helpful article](https://aerokube.com/allure-testops/) for more details!
I can definitely relate to wanting something lighter! I've found that using PR checks in GitHub for quick feedback can work well. You could also think about a one-liner CLI step to post JUnit XML results to a canonical run. It looks like Tuskr’s CLI is designed for exactly that, which could be a great fit for what you’re after!
I’m with you on that approach! It’s smart to keep regulated features under Polarion while letting non-regulated teams use a lighter setup. How do you manage that split?
