Description:
	Request from a user testing P4Polarion:
	
	> Would it be possible to add to the Repository Settings page of the 
	>  integration tool a function for the user for checking the connection
	>  to the Perforce server or a field showing the result of the server 
	>  connection test automatically conducted by the integration tool, like
	>  the [Server status] field on the [Perforce Server Sources] tab of 
	>  P4DTG? 
	> 
	>  As the current integration tool does not have such function or field,
	>  when Polarion fails connecting to the Perforce server, the user is 
	>  required to open the error log of Polarion and look for the causes of
	>  the connection problem, which is very time-consuming.

DevNotes:
	The request for a 'test connection' button is outside of the scope of the Polarion API. Polarion would need to provide assistance by extending the API.
