Project Notifications
TESTaide allows for notifications to be set up on different events for test case executions such as, regression start, end, and fail. You are able to set up notifications for both Slack channels and E-mail recipients. This document provides guidelines on how to set up notification for entire projects and its test plans.
To manage Slack/E-mail notifications for individual test plans, please refer to this guide.
Setting up Slack WebHooks
Before setting up notifications in the TESTaide application, a Slack WebHook needs to be created. To do so, follow these steps:
Open the Slack application or web browser
From the left-hand sidebar, click the ‘Browse Slack’ button and from the drop-down menu click on the ‘Apps’ option.
On the apps page, search for ‘Incoming WebHooks’ in the search bar and click the Add button which will redirect you to the Slack browser.
On the Settings page, enter the information and click ‘Save Settings’.
Copy and save the generated WebHook URL. This will be used in the TESTaide application when setting up Slack notifications.
The information entered on the settings page is not detrimental to the TESTaide notification settings.
