Qualification Workspace & Profile Tuning Suite Integration – Qualification

Introduction

Qualification testing is easier with the integration between Qualification Workspace and Bluetooth® Profile Tuning Suite (PTS). Users can launch testing from their Qualification Workspace draft, complete the required tests in PTS, and have the results and test reports automatically synchronized back to the draft.

By reducing manual downloads, spreadsheets, and duplicate data entry, this integration improves accuracy, reduces effort, provides a clearer view of qualification progress, and enables a more connected, efficient end-to-end qualification experience. The steps that follow show you how to get started using the feature.

Before you start
