To create a PTS workspace (.pqw6 file) follow below steps:
1. Create Launch Studio project
2. Generate PTS workspace from ICSes
Log in to the https://www.bluetooth.com. Go to the My Blue -> My Test Plans. The page will redirect you to Launch Studio. https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com. In Getting Started tab, create a new project by clicking "Start the Bluetooth Qualification Process with Required Testing". At Project Basics tab, fill the required fields e.g.:
Save and continue to Layer Selection. Select as many layers/profiles as you know that will be tested. If you are not sure, do not worry. The mandatory ones will be marked by Consistency Checker, and the project can always be edited later to add or remove profiles.
Save and continue to ICS Selection. On the left panel there are all the selected profiles. Each profile has its own set of ICSes. The Consistency Checker has selected automatically some of the mandatory ICSes. But some still have to be selected manually, because of the multiple variants of some features.
Check which of the mandatory ICSes remain by clicking the Consistency Check:
To resolve all remaining mandatory ICSes it is convenient to follow and repeat the below steps until the Consistency Check no longer displays missing dependencies:
- resolve manually ICSes of features with multiple variants,
- click on the Consistency Check to auto-select/recalculate remaining mandatory ICSes.
If you enable some optional ICSes, new mandatory ICSes to resolve may appear. Remember to save the project from time to time, because any accidental tab refresh will waste all your work.
After selecting all mandatory and optional ICSes, finally save and continue to Testing tab. Here the project ICSes can be exported to a .pts file that will be needed to generate a valid PTS workspace file.
Open PTS and go to Start -> New Workspace. The PTS may ask you to connect to a PTS dongle first.
First step in the New Workspace creator is to select an IUT Device Address. You may use here any address, even zeros, because with AutoPTS the IUT address will be read from the IUT at runtime.
In the second step, fill all the fields and import ICSes from a .pts file exported earlier from Launch Studio.
In the third step just proceed to Finish, because all test profiles have been already selected at Import ICS.
Now your PTS workspace is ready to use.
Your workspace has been saved to a .pqw6 file. All other folders are just a placeholders for logs and will be recreated by PTS each time the workspace is opened.
