The “Login failed for user 'psDataWriter'” error in SmartBear QAComplete often points to database access issues. Here’s a quick fix:

  1. Check Credentials: Verify psDataWriter credentials in the configuration file.
  2. User Permissions: Ensure psDataWriter has the right database permissions.
  3. Connection Settings: Confirm QAComplete is connecting to the correct SQL Server instance.
  4. Authentication Mode: Set SQL Server to Mixed Mode Authentication.
