Working with DevOps Test Integrations and APIs resources in IBM® Engineering Test Management

Once the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs)-IBM® Engineering Test Management integration is complete, you can export tests and test suites from Test Integrations and APIs into IBM® Engineering Test Management. Exported tests and test suites are created as test cases and test scripts in IBM® Engineering Test Management.

Before you can use the links in the test output in IBM® Engineering Test Management, you must publish the details of your results database connection from the Test Integrations and APIs project that contains the test case to Test Virtualization Control Panel. Do this task by clicking Publish results database connection in the Project Settings dialog. For more information, see Project settings. Publishing the results database connection is mandatory for every project on the following occasions:

After you configure the results database, but before you attempt to view results in Test Virtualization Control Panel. For more information about configuring the results database, see Configuring the project results database.
After updating the results database settings.

If you do not publish the details, the link (in the test output displayed in Engineering Test Management) to the Results Gallery in Test Virtualization Control Panel does not work.

Navigating IBM® Engineering Test Management

Test Integrations and APIs resources can be viewed in the Construction menu of the IBM® Engineering Test Management console, as Test Cases and Test Scripts.
