TestLink is the most widely used web-based test management tool and ElasTest provides integration with TestLink. With this tool you will can easily catch videos, logs, metrics to our manual execution of the test.

TestLink GUI is accessible from ElasTest. When ElasTest is started, a TestLink instance is also started to allow us the management of manual test.

Another feature that provides the integration between Elastest and TestLink is the possibility to access from the notes of a test case in TestLink to its execution in Elastest.
