    - Configuring and running DevOps Test UI adapter for IBM® Engineering Test Management
      You can integrate HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) with Engineering Test Management by using an adapter. The adapter is available in the Test UI installation directory. You can run the tests that you create by using Test UI in Engineering Test Management after you configure and start the adapter.
    - Configuring and running the adapter using the command-line interface
      Integration with HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) is implemented through the use of an adapter. The functional test adapter is installed by default when you install Test UI. You can configure and start the adapter using the command-line interface.
    - Using the adapter to connect to IBM® Engineering Test Management through a proxy server
      You can use the adapter to connect to the Engineering Test Management server through a proxy server. You must configure the credentials for the proxy server from the command-line interface.
    - Handling inputs from IBM® Engineering Test Management in DevOps Test UI scripts
      If you use IBM® Engineering Test Management to execute functional test scripts, you can make Engineering Test Management details available to the functional test script to be used during playback.
    - Working with keywords
      In HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can associate functional test scripts with the keywords that are created in IBM® IBM Engineering Test Management.
      - Working with keywords in DevOps Test UI
        Keywords are defined and created in IBM® Engineering Test Management. In HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can record a functional test script and then associate it with the keywords that are created in Engineering Test Management.
      - Viewing keywords created in IBM® Engineering Test Management
        In HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can record and then associate functional test scripts with the keywords that are created in IBM® Engineering Test Management. You can log on to the Engineering Test Management to view keywords. You can play back the functional test script from IBM Engineering Test Management.
      - Associating functional test scripts with the keywords
        You can automate an IBM® Engineering Test Management keyword by associating it with an HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) script. You can either associate an existing functional test script with a given keyword, or record a new script against the keyword and then associate the script. You can see the steps of a keyword when you associate an automated script. After a keyword is automated, you can open and execute the automated script.
      - Keyword View
        The HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) Keyword View displays the keywords. This view is displayed in the right pane of the Functional Test perspective.
    - Troubleshooting: Unable to open unified reports
      When you try to open the unified report that is published to the Engineering Test Management after the test run, the report fails to open in the browser.
  - Testing with IBM® Engineering Test Management in the Visual Studio IDE
    HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) in the Visual Studio environment supports integration with IBM® Engineering Test Management.
  - Testing with Jenkins
    You can use the DTUI-FunctionalTest-Jenkins-HCL plugin to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting with v9.2, you can use the Maven plug-in to run Functional Test scripts. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM). You can use the Maven plug-in that is provided to run tests as part of your Maven build.
  - Testing with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management
    HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) can be integrated with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (formerly known as Rational Team Concert). You can manage functional test assets by using the Jazz™ source control management that the Jazz Eclipse Client provides. You must have a compatible version of IBM Engineering Workflow Management server set up to use the Jazz source control management.
  - Testing with Tivoli Composite Application Manager
    HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) can be integrated with IBM Tivoli® Composite Application Manager. You can schedule the interval at which the application manager agent runs to track the response time and generate logs using Test UI scripts.
  - Testing with HCL® DevOps Deploy
    You can integrate Test UI with HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) to run tests as a Process from Deploy.
  - Testing with IBM® DevOps Deploy
    You can run functional test scripts remotely with the HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) - Functional Test plugin for IBM® DevOps Deploy (Deploy).

Working with keywords in DevOps Test UI

Keywords are defined and created in IBM® Engineering Test Management. In HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you can record a functional test script and then associate it with the keywords that are created in Engineering Test Management.

Learn more about keywords: Keywords are defined and created in Engineering Test Management. A keyword is a statement or group of statements that you can reuse in other test scripts. Keywords are typically composed of script steps that reflect reusable processes. You can automate keywords through the use of functional test scripts. For more information about keywords, see the Engineering Test Management Knowledge Center.

To work with keywords, you must log on to Engineering Test Management server. The keywords created in Engineering Test Management are displayed in the Test UI Keyword View. You can record a functional test script and associate it with an keyword.

After you associate the functional test scripts to the appropriate keywords, you can play back the functional test scripts that are associated with the keywords from Engineering Test Management.
