Traceability

Manstis BT Plugin based on selected custom fields to establish issues traceability to both requirements and tests.

Installation

Please refer to the plugin user guide.

Requirements

1. Plugin for following Mantis BT versions :
   1. 1.2.10 and above (master) : major version number is equal to 1
   2. 1.3.12 and above (mantisbt_1_3_X) : major version number is equal to 2
   3. 2.3.0 and above (mantisbt_2_3_X) : major version number is equal to 3
2. Allow user to fill both requirement and test identifier :
   1. According to bug status
   2. In different string format
   3. Directly in bug summary or in bug update form (no extra view)
3. Build traceability analysis to warn about :
   1. Issues without requirement
   2. Issues without test
4. Build traceability analysis per :
   1. Project
   2. Version
   3. Issue handler
5. Build traceability matrix to requirements per :
   1. Project
   2. Version
   3. Issue handler
   4. Requirement identifier
6. Build traceability matrix to tests per :
   1. Project
   2. Version
   3. Issue handler
   4. Test identifier
7. Follow changes in bug history

Technical solution

Solution is based on MantisBT custom fields feature. In plugin configuration, user must select/configure :

• Two custom fields of type STRING :
  • One for requirement identifier
  • One for test identifier
• Issue status threshold to warn about undefined requirement
• Issue status threshold to warn about undefined test
• Identifier delimiter in case of requirement / test identifier list

traceability's Issues

Remove obsolete functions in config.php and api.php

Following functions are obsolete and shall be unused in config.php and api.php:
helper_alternate_class()
db_get_table()
db_query_bound()

UI api update (mantisbt-0021706)

Replace UI methods from MantisBT 1.2.X and 1.3.X series like
html_page_top()
html_page_bottom()

With new UI methods from MantisBT 2.3.X series like :
layout_page_header()
layout_page_begin()
layout_page_end()

Analysis, Requirements and Test ID grids are not showing under traceability page.

Plugin version-3.0.1

[please indicate here the plugin version you use]

Description

I have installed and configure Traceability-3.0.1 plugin in MantisBT-2.11.1 as per the instruction provided.
Now when clicking the Traceability menu, error showing as

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_bracket_link() in C:\wamp\www\mantisbt-2.11.1\plugins\traceability\pages\api.php on line 97"
I have upload the screenshot.

Please provide the solution for this error.

Getting error on updating Traceability: Configuration

APPLICATION WARNING #101: Configuration option "Custom field for Requirement id" has invalid value "1". (in 'E:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.31-0\apps\mantis\htdocs\plugins\Traceability\pages\config_edit.php' line 65)

No installation instuctions

As a user to be able to use the plugin I must be able to install it. At the moment there are no clear instructions on how to do this. The basics are simple ofcouse like "install" click like all mantis plugins, it is more there is no notion of how and what name to give the custom fields, nor are they autogenereated.

NOTE: I try to use the issuetracker in a way it should be used:
It is not that I cannot install, therefore I would have used the forum ;) it is just trying to indicate what is lacking with the plugin.

For the adventurous:

add the custom filed to your mantis DB:

• req_id_var_idx
• test_id_var_idx

Remove unused variable $t_progress in requirement.php and test.php

Remove unused variable $t_progress in requirement.php and test.php.

Parameters type of function "check_selected" shall be string (mantisbt-0014756)

Introduction of mantisbt-0014756 in 1.3.X series implies that parameters type of function check_selected shall be string.
So call of check_selected in config.php shall be corrected

Correct main event hooks

Event hook requires an array of array in MantisBT 2.3.X series, containing title, access, url and icon parameters.

0007211: Integration issue for Squash TM-Version1.17.0 with MantisBT-2.11.1

I have installed Squash TM-Version 1.17.0 and Mantis 2.11.1 on Windows 10.
Both Squash and Mantis are working fine separately.
But when I want to report a BUG from Squash TM to Mantis during a Squash test execution step, I first have to log in to Mantis. But after entering my Mantis password I get the error message:
"An error occurred : ; nested exception is: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad envelope tag: br" and the login attempt fails.

I am unable to login due to this issue and also unable to report a BUG in Mantis through Squash TM

Please find below details-

Squash TM-Version1.17.0
MantisBT-2.11.1
PHP-5.6.31
MySQL-5.7.19
Apache-2.4.27
I have uploaded the screenshot of error. Anybody providing the solution for this is appreciated.

Improve plugin log feature

• Rename constants of log feature to avoid collision with other plugins
• Correct event related to project version and identifier

Remove obsolete functions in main.php, requirement.php and test.php

Following functions are obsolete and shall be unused in main.php, requirement.php and test.php:
helper_alternate_class()
db_get_table()
db_query_bound()

Moreover, BUG api shall be referenced using new function require_api instead of require_once
