You want to merge the test automation results with the test management system that also records the manual test results so that managers can make informed decisions about the progress quickly.

Which layer of the gTAA will be used to ensure the proper reporting occurs and the interfaces to the test management system are handled?

  1. The reporting layer
  2. The logging layer
  3. The execution layer
  4. The adaptation layer
