Codebeamer is increasing the number of automated tasks. This is an attractive approach in terms of reducing repetitive tasks and increasing project management efficiency.
First, we have to go through three units: Item, Tracker, and Project.
Each of these three has a unique ID within the server, meaning that it is unique across the entire server. If you miss this point, you will encounter unexpected errors when you open the automation script. It is easy to mislead that it is a valid value only within a particular project, but you should remember that it is actually a value that is referenced across the server.
When implementing automation, it is best to pay attention to the API manual.
Codebeamer offers a variety of API endpoints, with different requests and response structures for each endpoint.When you write code without checking the manual properly and just guessing, you’ll spend much more time later on debugging.In the beginning, it can be troublesome, but the habit of designing based on the manual saves you time.
Last thing to note is the frequency of API calls. Too frequent calls can result in account access being blocked. Looking back at the automated script, you can send numerous requests in a short time, which can be recognized as abnormal traffic from the server’s standpoint. Therefore, it’s safe to adjust the request interval properly or consider how to deploy.
Codebeamer automation is definitely a powerful tool.
However, in order to use the function properly, the process of understanding the basic structure and restrictive conditions must first be undertaken.
