Connecting and disconnecting the Engineering Test Management adapter from the GUI mode

You can use the Quality Manager Adapter view to connect, disconnect, and view adapter activities from IBM® DevOps Test UI (Test UI).

You must have configured the Engineering Test Management adapter. See Configuring the Engineering Test Management adapter.
In the GUI mode, when a script is run from Engineering Test Management, you can see the test run in progress inside Test UI as though the test were run manually in Test UI.

Push buttons to connect and disconnect to the Engineering Test Management server are located in the upper-right corner of Quality Manager Adapter view. This view also has a local preferences menu that you can use to control some behavior of the GUI mode adapter. If you see errors or warnings, use the Error Log view for further investigation.

Note: You must not use Test UI while the adapter is running. If you do so, you might interfere with the ability of the adapter to run test scripts. You must stop the adapter before you open Test UI.
