Hi, Thanks for sharing this info with us.
I have already completed some work in automating operations in ClearQuest (IBM's defect tracking system) using Watir and I'm now looking into extending this work to keep two different defect tracking systems in sync. Yes it's a horrible position to be in and it would make a lot more sense if the two organisations used the sane system, but for a number of reasons we have to live with the situation. Here are more details of what I want to achieve: So I have 2 defect tracking systems, DT_A and DT_B. Any changes that are made to DT_A, I want reflected in DT_B. I'm not concerned with the other way round at the moment. When a change is made to DT_A, a mail is forwarded to a mail account which describes the change to a defect. Using the tools you mentioned and assuming I have POP3 access to the mail account, do you think there is scope to read each unread mail, parse to interpret the changes required and then use Watir to makes the corresponding changes in DT_B? I'm fine with the Watir side of things since a lot of the work is done already, but not so sure about having ruby check for new mails, say every 10 minutes and then read/parse the mails. Any advice appreciated. Cheers, Daniel.
