 ### ✅ TestLink: Test Result Integration
 
-TestLink scans test result XMLs from Bazel and converts each test case with metadata into Sphinx external needs, allowing links from tests to requirements.
+TestLink scans test result XMLs from Bazel (bazel-testlogs) or in the folder 'tests-report' and converts each test case with metadata into Sphinx external needs, allowing links from tests to requirements.
 This depends on the `attribute_plugin` in our tooling repository, find it [here](https://github.com/eclipse-score/tooling/tree/main/python_basics/score_pytest)
