Create tasks and track issues.
Asana is a web and mobile application designed to help teams organize, track, and manage their work. It can be used to organize and plan workflows, projects, and more.
Functionality overview
Asana integration lets you create tasks from TestMonitor issues. Each task contains the TestMonitor issue name, description, status, impact, category, impact, and assignee. Tasks include attachments, as well.
When TestMonitor sends an issue to Asana, a link back to TestMonitor is included. That link lets you check task progress.

- You must have a TestMonitor administrator account.
