Linear

Linear is a lightweight issue tracker many teams use for fast triage and delivery. It fits testing because it keeps bug reports brief and consistent.

How does Linear work with Testdino?

• Connect your Linear workspace and pick a Default Team.

• From a failed or flaky test, open Create Linear Bug Report. The composer is prefilled and ready to submit.

• Use Sync if teams, labels, or templates change. Disconnect removes the link.

Create a Linear bug report in Testdino

When a test fails, you can raise a Linear issue without copy-pasting logs. Testdino opens a “Create Linear Bug Report” modal and pre-fills the parts that usually take time. You keep control of the fields, edit anything, then hit Create.

What’s prefilled by Testdino?

• Project name: Your Linear workspace and team. The default team from Settings is preselected, so you do not have to hunt for it.

• Issue type and priority: Pick the right bucket for your team. These are your Linear values.

• Labels and assignee: Add routing info and the owner if you know it. Leave blank if triage will be assigned later.

• Summary: A clear title based on the test name, with the run context appended. It reads well in an inbox and is searchable.

• Description: Testdino writes a structured report so the developer has everything in one place. It includes:

  • Test details – file, branch, commit author and message, environment, run ID, execution time, and attempts.

  • Why it failed – the failure cluster plus the exact step or locator that broke, with the key error line.

  • Last attempt snippet – a short code context around the failing line with duration, so the reader lands on the right spot.

  • Recent history – a quick note on how often this has failed in the selected period.

  • Console tail – the last few console lines that matter.

  • Links – back to the Testdino test-run view, the Git commit, and the CI job.

• Write / Preview
  Toggle to check formatting before you create the issue.

After you create the issue

When the Linear ticket is created, Testdino shows a confirmation panel so you know it landed.

• Issue key and ID. You’ll see the Linear key and the internal ID.

• Issue URL with copy. The direct link is shown with a copy control so you can share it in standups or PRs.

• Success note. A green message confirms the ticket was created in Linear and that the test case details were added.

• View in Linear to open the ticket and continue triage with your team.

Why does this help?

• You get a clean, consistent bug format without retyping.

• PMs and devs see the same structure on every report, which speeds up triage.

• You can still set assignee, priority, labels, and attach screenshots.
