Enable Vera integration in qTest


To use Vera integration in qTest, you need to enable it within the qTest Integration Settings.

You need to add your service account user as a Project Admin within the User Management settings in qTest. Also, keep in mind to not use a colon character (:) in your service account password for the qTest service account. This character is not supported by the qTest integration and will cause it to fail.

  1. In the project where you want to enable Vera integration, select the gear icon.

  2. In the dropdown menu, select Integration Settings.
