When you integrate Testrail with Assembla, you can relate, view and navigate to any TestRail entity in Assembla tickets

Set Up the Integration

First, your TestRail account must be connected to your Assembla account in order to enable the integration.

TestRail

First, your account administrator must enable APIs for your TestRail site by opening the Administration settings page, clicking Site Settings from the sidebar on the right, opening the API tab and checking the Enable API checkbox. Don’t forget to select Save Settings before leaving this page.

Then, you’ll need to generate an API key to authenticate with Assembla. Click on your name at the top of the screen, open My Settings, and click on the API Keys tab.

Generate an API key by clicking Add Key - make sure to make a note of your API key, because TestRail will only show you your key once. Then, make sure you Save API Key and also Save Settings before leaving this screen.

Assembla

You can enable integration in Assembla at Portfolio level as well as at Space level.

Portfolio level Integration

This is a global level of integration settings. You can relate as many accounts as you want. Also, you can set different accounts, or disable/enable the integration for each space.

Enable integration

To enable integration at Portfolio level, Manager can open the TestRail Integration page by selecting Admin from the tile menu at the top of the screen and clicking on ‘TestRail Integration’ link as shown in an image below.
