Connections
The Connections tab lets you set up integrations with various external resources, expanding Leapwork's capabilities for automation, user management, and cloud-based testing.
- These connections allow Leapwork to support powerful extensions, such as mobile automation (locally or in the cloud), integration with enterprise systems, and centralized user authentication.
- Multiple connections can be created and saved, which can then be applied to each Leapwork instance.
Leapwork supports various ways to set up a connection:
- Appium Server: To support automation of native mobile devices (iOS and Android) hosted locally.
- HeadSpin Server: To support building and running automation using HeadSpin's cloud device farm.
- SauceLabs Server: To enable automation of iOS and Android devices in SauceLabs' cloud environment.
- BrowserStack Server: For automating testing on real devices, emulators, and simulators hosted in BrowserStack's cloud environment.
- LambdaTest Server: To enable automation of native mobile applications on real iOS and Android devices hosted in LambdaTest's cloud environment.
- Azure Active Directory (AAD): To allow administrators to create, manage, and synchronize user accounts across multiple applications and services.
- Lightweight Directory (LDAP): To provide fast and secure access to centralized user information.
- Microsoft Graph (SharePoint): To connect with SharePoint for accessing hosted Excel files and documentation blocks.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): To streamline user authentication across integrated systems.
- Azure DevOps (ADO): To integrate with ADO test plans, enabling the automation of test cases and synchronization of results.
