To record a test and work with test assets, you must connect
the mobile test client to Rational® Test Workbench.
Prerequisites
For device: The mobile device must
be on the same network as the computer that is running the test workbench
and be able to ping that computer. Furthermore, the mobile device
must have a working internet connection (WiFi or cellular) or be connected
to the test workbench. To ensure that the device is connected to a
computer, you can use an appropriate app.
In this lesson, you use the Workbench settings page in
the mobile test client to
connect to test workbench.
If the device has a rear camera and a QR app, you can just flash the
camera at the QR code shown in step 1 of Lesson

button of the emulator. The home screen of the mobile test client will look like
