Modern unified Linear test management with Testmo. Link your testing efforts to Linear issues and integrate manual test cases, exploratory testing and test automation.
Testmo integrates with Linear so you can add new issues from Testmo, link Linear issues from various entities such as test results and cases, and directly report & access referenced issues.
The Linear integration uses Testmo's link-based integration that enables you to work and integrate with various issue trackers. This page explains how to configure and use the Linear integration in Testmo.
Configuring the Linear integration
To configure the Linear integration, in Testmo go to Admin > Integrations. You need to be a project or site administrator in Testmo to access this area. Then follow these instructions:
