API & Automation
This page details TestFiesta’s automation capabilities for TestRail users, focusing on tacotruck and data management to support seamless integration with existing workflows.
Taco Truck For Automation
Overview: Tacotruck github.com/testfiesta/tacotruck is an open-source tool that pushes automated test results into TestFiesta runs or exports data, simplifying automation for TestRail users.
Setup:
Visit github.com/testfiesta/tacotruck for setup guides.
Generate an API key in Admin > API Keys.
Configure tacotruck in your CI/CD pipeline (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to send results.
Map statuses (e.g., “pass” to “passed”) per docs.testfiesta.com/automation.
Test in a demo project to verify run progress bars.
Benefits: Unifies automated (e.g., Selenium, Cypress) and manual results; supports GitHub Actions for CI/CD; enables data export for custom analytics.
For TestRail Users: Tacotruck simplifies automation compared to TestRail’s scripting-heavy API, with pre-built pipeline support.
Data Management
Policies: In Admin > Data, set auto-archive/delete rules for entities (e.g., runs, plans) based on inactivity (e.g., archive after 20 days). Schedule jobs off-peak.
Benefits: Prevents database bloat, ensuring scalability for automation-heavy workflows.
For TestRail Users: Unlike TestRail, TestFiesta’s policies optimize performance for large datasets.
TestFiesta’s tacotruck and data management make it a flexible alternative to TestRail’s automation.
