- Management of virtualized services
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on and manage the virtualized services that run on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You can start or stop the virtual services that are available to Test Hub. You can view the routing rules and usage statistics of virtualized services, agents, or intercepts that are connected to Test Hub.
- Test results
  After the tests, Suites, or schedules are run and completed, you can view the results and open the reports in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to analyze the verdict, the performance, and statistics. You can also re-execute tests and schedules from the Results page with the same commit id.
- 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.
- Configuration of a change management
