Turn Linear issues into application tests and report test failures back to Linear

Overview⁠

ContextQA connects application testing with the issues your team tracks in Linear. Generate test cases from an issue and create a Linear issue when a test fails, so the requirement and the result stay connected.

How it works⁠

Connect the intended Linear account in ContextQA and use an issue as the starting point for a test case. Review the generated coverage against the expected behavior before running it against your application.

When a test fails, create a Linear issue from the result and use the available execution evidence to investigate. Available capabilities depend on your workspace and plan.

Configuration⁠

Before you start, you need access to the relevant ContextQA workspace and to the Linear resources you want to connect.

In ContextQA, open Integrations & Plugins, find Linear, select View Details, and open Config. Complete the account authorization and confirm the intended Linear workspace. Check connection health before using it, then try one controlled issue-to-test or failed-test-to-issue workflow.

Setup and connection checks are described in the ContextQA integrations documentation. New users can start at ship.contextqa.com.

ContextQA also offers a separate MCP server for use with compatible AI assistants, which can support test authoring and investigation alongside your existing workflow.
