- Machine learning capabilities in DevOps Test Hub
  HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) uses Machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze tests that match certain requirements and criteria, and then presents the findings as insights and recommendations after the tests are run. You can use the insights and recommendations to interpret the test results and identify the problem areas in the system under test.
- Resource monitoring
  When you apply load to a system under test, the amount of resources consumed by your system is increasing. If the capacity of the resources does not match the load, you can see performance issues in the results. Resource monitoring in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) helps you monitoring the resources of a system and establish the performance metrics and usage data of the system. Thus, you can observe the health of these resources while a schedule is running.

Management of performance agents

You can manage the performance agents that you want to use as locations to run tests from HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). When you install the agents by using your offline user token, the agents are registered with the team space in Test Hub. You can view the registered agents before you add them to your projects. You can then select them as locations to run tests.

When you plan to run any of the tests on a remote performance agent from a project in Test Hub, you must have completed the following tasks:

Installed the performance agent of the same version as the version of Test Hub. Refer to Installing DevOps Test Performance Agent.
Configured the performance agent with your offline user token so that the performance agent can register with Test Hub.
Note: When you configure the performance agent by using your offline user token, Test Hub considers you as the owner of the performance agent.
Verified that you have write permissions to the majordomo.config file so that certain transactions can be written by Test Hub to the majordomo.config file.
Note: You can verify if you have the Read and Write permissions by checking the properties of the majordomo.config file.
Viewed the performance agents that are registered with Test Hub. See Viewing performance agents that are registered with DevOps Test Hub.
Added the remote performance agents that are registered with Test Hub to your project on Test Hub. See Adding a performance agent to a project.
After you add the remote performance agents to your project, Test Hub determines the capabilities that are provided by the remote performance agent and displays the details and capabilities of the performance agent on the Agents and Intercepts page. You can also define the capabilities that you want to add, and then view, edit, or delete the capabilities that you defined for the performance agents in your project.
