OnTime 2008 Web Services SDK

The OnTime Web Services SDK allows software development and test teams to build bug reporting and feature request capabilities into any existing web or windows-based application using SOAP accessible Web Services exposed by OnTime.

Developers can create customized web pages and win-form applications, fully integrated with the OnTime Database, in C#, VB.NET or any other .NET language.

Simple Integration Example with OnTime SDK (6:44)

Integrate OnTime with any Application

The OnTime Web Services SOAP Accessible APIs allow software developers to manipulate the data stored in their OnTime database from almost any other application. Data stored in the OnTime database can be read, written and updated using the Web Service APIs.

Here is how it works: The OnTime Web Services APIs are typically housed on an IIS server (V5.0 or higher is required). The APIs can then be accessed from any computer on the Internet that can reach the IIS server hosting the OnTime Web Services.

Easy to Use APIs

If you are a .NET developer, you're already familiar with the APIs exposed by the OnTime Web Services. With simple objects that represent a Defect or Feature and DataSets used for storage of multiple Defect and Feature, you'll find the OnTime Web Services extremely easy to use.

In fact, with as little as 5 lines of C# or VB.NET code, .NET developers can create a new Defect object, populate a couple of its properties and submit the defect through a OnTime Web Service call into the OnTime database.

Take a look at this simple example code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DefectService.Defect defect = new DefectService.Defect();

defect.Name = textBox1.Text;
defect.ReplicationProcedures = textBox2.Text;

DefectService.DefectHandler dHandler = new DefectService.DefectHandler();

dHandler.AddDefect([SECURITY GUID], defect, null);
}

C# Code Samples to get You Started

To make sure you get up and running quickly, the OnTime Web Services SDK includes a few C#.NET sample projects created using Visual Studio.NET. The samples can be a great way to jump-start your OnTime integration project.

The included samples show you how to add a simple web page to your web site allowing your customers to submit defects or a page listing all the bugs reported in your OnTime database.

Works with OnTime Web, Windows and VS.NET Editions

The OnTime Web Services SDK requires that you already have either OnTime Web or Windows Editions installed (at this time, OnTime Web Services is not offered with the OnTime Hosted Edition).

The OnTime Web Services SDK can even work with the free single-user version of OnTime Web or Windows editions!

No Additional Licensing is Required

The solutions you create using the OnTime Web Services SDK can be used by any number of your internal users or customers without any requirement to obtain additional licensing from Axosoft.

Even if you decide to take advantage of the free single-user version of OnTime and then use the Free OnTime Web Services SDK to allow thousands of your customers to report defects automatically into your OnTime database, there is still no need for additional licensing!
