Associating a functional test project with a Rational project

If you want to use the Rational® TestManager to manage your tests, you must associate a Functional Test project with a Rational® project.

Before you begin

You must create a Rational project using Rational® Administrator before you associate a Functional Test project with a Rational® project so that TestManager can gain access to the Functional Test project. When you create a Functional Test project, you can associate it with an existing Rational® project at that time.

About this task

  • You can only associate a Functional Test project with a Rational® project if it is currently not associated with any other project. To associate a project with a different project, first you must disassociate the project from the project to which it is currently associated.
  • Information about a Functional Test project that you associate with a Rational® project appears on the TestManager Properties page for the Functional Test project.

To associate an existing functional Test project with a Rational® project:

Procedure

  1. Start HCL OneTest™ UI.
  2. On the Start Page, on the Project tab, click the Functional Test project you want to open.
  3. In the Rational® Test Login dialog box, log in to a Rational® project.
  4. In the Solution Explorer, right-click a Functional Test project and click Associate with current Rational Project.
    Note: If Associate with current Rational Project is unavailable, create a Rational® project and log in to the Rational® project before you associate a Functional Test project with the current Rational® project. Associate with current Rational Project is available only if you have administrative privileges with the project.

    HCL OneTest™ UI adds the name of the Rational® project that you associated with the Functional Test project to the name of the Functional Test project in the Solution Explorer. For example, if you associate MyFTProject with the MyRationalProject Rational® project, it appears in the Solution Explorer as: MyFTProject - MyRationalProject.
