You need to create an account on the Lynqa Dashboard to use the Lynqa app (at least to generate a Lynqa API key).

Open

Create an account on the Lynqa dashboard

To create an account on the Lynqa dashboard, go to the registration page https://my.lynqa.smartesting.com/register and fill in the fields. You will receive a confirmation email - click on the link in the email to verify your account. Your account is activated immediately.

Using the Lynqa dashboard

Once logged in, you have access to all the dashboard features:

Manage your credits

You can manage your credits from the “Buy credits” tab

Open

Note:

• When you create an account, you receive 10 credits to test the Lynqa configuration and run some trial tests.

• If you subscribe to a pack, each pack adds a number of credits to your existing balance.

• Credits are associated with your account.

• All API keys belonging to this account share the same credit balance.

Manage your API keys

You can manage your API keys from the “API keys” tab.

Open

Note:

• You can create as many API keys as you want

• All API keys belonging to this account share the same credit balance.

• You can rename or delete your API keys

• API keys can be configured in Jira for the system, spaces, and users. (More details on configuration are provided in the section Configure Lynqa and Xray API keys

Generate an API key

Generate an API key by entering a “Key name” and clicking “Create”.

Open

Copy the key, as you will not be able to retrieve it later.

Once an API key is generated, you can configure your Lynqa API key in Jira.

Manage your executions

You can view test executions performed via the “Executions history” tab

Open

Note:

• You can view the individual execution of each test by API key

• You can filter executions

Link between the Dashboard and the Lynqa app

You have an account on the Lynqa Dashboard and this account has a set of API keys. In Jira, you configure your Lynqa API keys (for spaces and users). As soon as a test execution is performed by Lynqa in Jira: it is recorded in the Dashboard.

Special case: Multiple accounts on the Lynqa Dashboard for the same Jira instance

You can create multiple accounts on the Lynqa Dashboard: each account on the Lynqa Dashboard has its own credits and API keys.

In Jira, a user only sees tests attached to the keys of one account configured on their instance/space. This means that if a user runs tests on the same Jira space with multiple accounts, they will not be able to simultaneously view the executions of all their accounts. Because, as a reminder, each account has its own API keys and executions.

We generally recommend avoiding creating multiple accounts, unless the creation of multiple accounts is related to the use of keys on distinct Jira spaces and this organization takes into account the rules mentioned above.

Once an API key is generated, you can configure your Lynqa API key in Jira.
