For OpenText Application Quality Management users, tests are automatically saved to OpenText Application Quality Management throughout the test run. If you lose your connection during a run, your test displays an asterisk next to its name indicating that the test has changes that have not been saved. You must first reconnect to OpenText Application Quality Management in the OpenText Application Quality Management Connection dialog box and then click the Save button to manually save the run results to OpenText Application Quality Management.

• For OpenText Application Quality Management users, a warning symbol next to a test indicates a problem with the definitions for that test. When you select the test, the warning symbol is also displayed next to the node that is causing the warning. Select the node and review the displayed definitions for any warning messages. For details, see the Run Area.

• For OpenText Application Quality Management users, a lock symbol next to a test indicates that the test is currently locked. This occurs when you load a previous run of a test, and that run is also currently being edited in OpenText Application Quality Management.
