Enable the OpenText Functional Testing Lab extension

If you intend to use OpenText Functional Testing Lab to run tests stored in OpenText Application Quality Management, we recommend that you enable its extension. This allows OpenText Application Quality Management to create the apps automatically in Sprinter.

To enable the integration:

  1. Enable the OpenText Functional Testing Lab Extension in your OpenText Application Quality Management installation. Make sure you have the latest version of OpenText Application Quality Management or the necessary patch installed. For details, see the Support matrix.

  2. Enter the OpenText Functional Testing Lab server settings through OpenText Application Quality Management's Site Administration. The login email for the OpenText Functional Testing Lab user in OpenText Application Quality Management, must match the one used to log in to the OpenText Functional Testing Lab server.

    Tip: You can override the server settings for a specific project using OpenText Application Quality Management Project Customization for OpenText Functional Testing Lab.

  3. From the Site Administration configuration flags, copy the value of COMMUNICATION_SECURITY_PASSPHRASE to your clipboard. In OpenText Functional Testing Lab, paste the value into the Administration > Settings > General > Single Sign On Init string field. For details, see Administration Settings in the OpenText Functional Testing Lab Help Center and Integrating with OpenText Functional Testing Lab in the OpenText Application Quality Management Help Center.
