Integrating Task Management Tools

External task management tools can integrate their tests with Silk Central through the Agile project template.

The Agile project template is a Silk Central project with the preselected attributes release and sprint. When you create a project based on the Agile project template, an empty subfolder and test container are created for the new project. The external task management tool can then insert tests into the template. For information about how to create a project based on the Agile project template, see Adding Projects.

The task management tool that is currently supported by Silk Central “out of the box” is VersionOne.

VersionOne is a project planning and management tool specifically designed for agile software development. It incorporates agile and iterative management practices such as release planning, iteration planning and tracking, user story or backlog item management, and task management.
