This document discusses how to automate tests using TestLink and Hudson. It introduces TestLink as an open source test management tool and Hudson as an open source continuous integration server. It then describes how to integrate TestLink and Hudson by enabling an external API in TestLink, installing a plugin, and configuring a job in Hudson to run automated tests from TestLink. The objectives are to explain how to manage automated tests with these two tools using the TestLink Hudson plugin and TAP format, and discuss the future of the plugin.
