Adding the Google Chrome extension from the Chrome Web store

To perform functional testing in the Google Chrome browser, an extension is required to be added to the browser that enables communication between IBM® DevOps Test UI (Test UI) and the Google Chrome browser through a web server. This extension, known as Test UI for Google Chrome™, is available with your Test UI installation. Alternatively, the extension is also available on the Google Chrome web store. To test applications loaded in Google Chrome, you must enable the browser, which adds the extension to the browser.
