TFS and Mantis Integration

Question

I'd like to know if it's possible (and how, if anyone has ever done it before) to have Mantis Bug Tracker "tickets" automatically imported/transformed into TFS work items.

We use mantis to keep track of development and TFS as a Repo. Every check-in made to TFS must be associated with one work item. Right now, these two systems are not integrated which causes, for example, that the ticket 100 is relative to the work item 497 without no way of knowing that one is relative to the other.

I've looked at TFS Integration Tools but was unable to install it for some reason at this time.

So, how can I have an automation process that "imports" Mantis tickets into TFS work items automatically? Is this even possible?

Answer 1

There is a plugin for source integration which supports Git, SVN and Mercurial (experimental). https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/source-integration

I am not aware that there is something similar avalaible for TFS, but it should be no big problem to implement TFS integration based on the framework which is offered by the plugin.
