Integrating HCL OneTest™ Virtualization with IBM® Engineering Test Management
You can deploy virtual services while you are running tests in Engineering Test Management by integrating it with HCL OneTest™ Virtualization. The integration is accomplished by using HCL Quality Server.
Before you begin
Ensure that both Engineering Test
Management and HCL Quality Server use the same networking protocol, either HTTP or HTTPS. HTTPS is enabled by default. For more information, see Configuring HCL Quality Server.
Important: If you set up the integration with a mix of protocols, with HCL Quality Server using HTTP and Engineering Test
Management using HTTPS, web browsers do not display the HCL Quality Server-contributed parts of the user interface. For example, the
Deployment Plan selection dialog box is not displayed. Also, such a configuration is insecure.
About this task
Configure HCL OneTest™ Virtualization as the deployment provider for an Engineering Test Management project area:

Trusted A parameter that indicates whether the connection is trusted. Make sure you select the checkbox. - Click Create Friend. A success message is displayed.
- Click Next. The OAuth provisional key that was generated for the connection between HCL OneTest™ Virtualization and HCL Quality Server is displayed. You are prompted to authorize this key on the other server. You can ignore this message because such authorization is not required for this integration.
- Click Finish. The connection is established between HCL OneTest™ Virtualization and HCL Quality Server.
-
Go to the settings for your project area in either of the following ways:
- On the administration page, choose the project area under the Project Area menu at the top of the page.
