Tool Profiles

Using Tool Profiles, you can configure TestArchitect to support integration with external third-party tools. In addition, its support for LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) allows your TestArchitect login credentials to be established through your system account, avoiding the need for a separate sign on. Finally, Tool Profiles includes several predefined harnesses, which are scripts or programs that interpret and execute the action lines of a test sequence.

You must be logged in to TestArchitect Client as a member of the administrator group to configure external tools, or create or edit test tool profiles. Administrator changes are made available to all other clients logging in to the same repository.
