Tasktop Certified Sync Connectors
		Certified Connectors

Tasktop Sync 2.3 allows teams to synchronize tasks across different defect and task tracking repositories. The Tasktop Sync server application places itself in between repositories to synchronize changes made to the defects or tasks in either repository.

This guide lists all of the repository connectors certified to work with Tasktop Sync. Each section describes a certified connector together with documentation regarding installation requirements, common setup problems, and other issues that pertain to that specific connector.
