Initializing variables from Engineering Test Management

If you want to run an IBM® DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance) test from IBM Engineering Test Management, you can pass the execution variables defined in Engineering Test Management to the Test Performance test.

• Configure the Engineering Test Management adapter in Test Performance. For more information, see the Configuration topic.
• Variable names must be the same in Engineering Test Management and Test Performance.
• The Visible in value for the variable in the Test Performance test must be set to All tests for this user.

When you pass an execution variable to a Test Performance test, the value initialized in the test is replaced by the value in the execution variable. If you modify the value that is initialized in the test, after the test is executed, the modified value is passed back to the execution variable in Engineering Test Management.

To initialize an execution variable value to a test, run the test from Engineering Test Management. For information about execution variables, see Using execution variables in manual test.
