TestRail Integration

The TestRail integration connects Robonito to your TestRail test management instance. It lets you export Robonito test suites directly to TestRail as test cases, keeping your test management system in sync with your automation suite without manual copy-paste.

What It Does

  • Export Robonito suites to TestRail — converts your Robonito test cases into TestRail test cases inside a TestRail project and section of your choice.
  • Sync execution results — after a Robonito test run, results are automatically pushed to the corresponding TestRail test case as a test result (passed/failed).

Connecting TestRail

Prerequisites

You need:

  • A TestRail account with API access enabled.
  • Your TestRail instance URL (e.g., https://yourcompany.testrail.io).
  • Your TestRail username (email address).
  • A TestRail API Key (generated under your TestRail account settings).

Setup Steps

  1. Navigate to Integrations in the left sidebar.
  2. Click the TestRail tile.
  3. Enter:
    • TestRail URL — your full instance URL.
    • Username — your TestRail account email.
    • API Key — your TestRail API key (not your password).
  4. Click Connect. Robonito validates the credentials and shows a Connected status.

Exporting a Suite to TestRail

Once connected, you can export any Robonito suite to TestRail:

  1. In the Test Explorer, click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the suite you want to export.
  2. Select Export to TestRail.
  3. In the export dialog:
    • Select the TestRail Project to export into.
    • Robonito creates a new Section in that project named after your Robonito suite.
    • All test cases in the suite are exported as individual TestRail test cases.
  4. Click Export.

What Gets Exported

Each Robonito test case becomes a TestRail test case with:

  • Title — the Robonito test case name.
  • Steps — a human-readable description of each recorded or configured test step.
  • Section — the name of the parent Robonito suite.

Configuring Defaults

To speed up repeated exports, set default project mappings in the TestRail integration settings:

  1. Open the TestRail tile in Integrations.
  2. Click Edit Defaults.
  3. Set:
    • Default Project — the TestRail project where exports go by default.
    • Default Section — a specific section within the project.
  4. Save.

These defaults pre-fill the export dialog but can be overridden for individual exports.

Disconnecting TestRail

To remove the integration, open the TestRail tile and click Disconnect. All previously exported test cases remain in TestRail — disconnecting only stops future sync operations.
