Connect to OpenText Functional Testing Lab

Make sure you have access to an OpenText Functional Testing Lab sever.

Upon startup, Sprinter prompts you to connect with OpenText Application Quality Management, OpenText Software Delivery Management, OpenText Functional Testing Lab, or an OpenText Functional Testing license. For details, see Log in to Sprinter.

  • If you connect via OpenText Functional Testing Lab, enter the server details and credentials in the OpenText Functional Testing Lab log in area.
  • If you log in OpenText Software Delivery Management or an OpenText Functional Testing license, provide the OpenText Functional Testing Lab credentials after Sprinter opens, in the Settings dialog box.

  • If you log in with OpenText Application Quality Management, then:

    • If the OpenText Application Quality Management project has the OpenText Functional Testing Lab extension enabled, Sprinter automatically retrieves the OpenText Functional Testing Lab server credentials from the project. You will not be able to modify them in Sprinter.
    • If the OpenText Application Quality Management project does not have the OpenText Functional Testing Lab extension enabled, Sprinter will not retrieve the credentials from the OpenText Application Quality Management Site Administration. In this case, provide the OpenText Functional Testing Lab credentials using the Settings dialog box:

  1. Click Settings .

  2. Choose authentication method:

    • Basic authentication. Connect via a username and password.
    • Access key authentication. Connect via execution access key.
  3. If the OpenText Functional Testing Lab server was installed with secure access (https), select Use SSL. If you did not enable this option, and the Test Connection failed, try selecting this option. When working with OpenText Functional Testing Lab through SSL, client machines must have an SSL certificate installed in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities category.
  4. If your connection to OpenText Functional Testing Lab is through a proxy server, click Proxy Settings to provide its details.
