The Native QA & Test Execution
Bridge for Linear Teams.
Keep Linear as your engineering source of truth while giving your QA team enterprise test repositories, test plans, interactive execution wizards, and 1-click defect logging directly into Linear.

The Missing QA Layer in Linear
Engineering teams love Linear for its keyboard shortcuts, minimalist speed, and clean issue tracking. But when teams scale, QA testing becomes a painful bottleneck because Linear was never built to be a test case management system.
Without native QA tools, quality engineers end up in messy Google Sheets or get forced into expensive legacy silos like TestRail ($38/user/mo). Testing cycles are disconnected from issues, repro steps get lost in Slack, and nobody knows if a build is truly ready to ship.
Klority solves this cleanly. With our direct Linear API integration, you keep your engineers happily working inside Linear while your QA team gets a test management platform that pulls issues, logs pre-filled bugs with 1 click, and verifies release readiness automatically.
Connected Workflow Features
Everything you need to link requirements, test cases, execution cycles, and defects without duplicate data entry.
Linear ➔ Klority Backlog & Board Sync
Pull all active and backlog issues from Linear directly onto your Klority Kanban boards and sprint backlogs in a single click. Klority automatically translates Linear status types (unstarted, started, completed) and priority levels (Urgent, High, Medium, Low) into your project workflow.
QA Defect Logging to Linear
When a test case fails in Klority's interactive runner, click "Log Defect to Linear". It immediately provisions a new bug ticket in Linear with reproduction steps, expected vs actual outputs, and logs.
Release Readiness Matrix
Klority's automated Quality Gate monitors test cycle pass rates alongside open Linear blocker bugs to output an automated 🟢 GO or 🔴 NO-GO release verdict for engineering leadership.
Multi-Cycle Test Plans
Group Web, iOS, Android, and Staging test cycles under one master Linear release milestone. Track combined pass rates and environment matrices in real time.
Screen Recording & Video Player
Linear issue descriptions containing embedded MP4 videos and GIF screen recordings are parsed into interactive HTML5 video players inside Klority tasks automatically.
How Linear + Klority Works
Paste Linear API Key
Go to Project Settings ➔ Linear Integration. Paste your Linear Personal API Key. Klority securely encrypts the key at rest (AES-256) and auto-discovers all accessible Linear teams.
Sync Issues to Board
Click "Sync Linear" in your Kanban board or Backlog toolbar. Linear issues are pulled with correct columns, priority badges, and formatted rich descriptions.
Run QA & Push Defects
Execute test cycles with stopwatch timers and step-by-step verification. Push failed runs as Linear defects with 1 click and monitor release readiness scores.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know. Click a question to expand the answer.
How does authentication with Linear work?
Klority uses Linear's official Personal API Keys. You generate a key in Linear (Settings → API → Personal API Keys) and paste it into your Klority project settings. The key is encrypted at rest using AES-256.
Can I sync multiple Linear teams?
Yes! Klority auto-discovers all teams accessible by your API key. You can select a default team or sync across multiple teams per project.
What happens when a test run fails?
When a test case fails, QA testers click 'Log Defect'. Klority generates a rich defect in Linear with reproduction steps, actual vs expected outputs, stack traces, and media attachments pre-filled.
Does Klority replace Linear or integrate with it?
Klority is designed to work seamlessly with Linear. Your developers can continue using Linear for daily issue tracking while your QA engineers get the test management suite they need.
