Test Author Guide
This guide describes how to create and edit test assets in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), and then publish test assets to the remote Git repository that you have configured in your project. This guide is intended for testers and test managers.
Prerequisites for working with Datasets and Data definition
You can find information about the tasks that you need to perform before you work with datasets and Data definitions in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
Management of classifications
You can find information about creating, editing, deleting, and granting access to a classification in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
Creating a classification
As a project Project Owner or Tester, you must create a classification to organize encrypted datasets, external database connections, and API secrets so that project members can use them efficiently..

- Edit branch overview
  When you want to create or modify a test resource in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), you must use an Edit branch. An Edit branch is a temporary branch of the branch in the project repository into which you want to add the created resource or edited resource.
- Data overview
  When you want to create realistic test scenarios that can simulate real-world or practical situations, you can use the data fabrication feature in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to fabricate test data. You can also create or edit datasets that pass variable data to tests at test run time.

    - Editing a classification
      You might want to change the name of a classification that you created, you can do so by editing the classification.
    - Deleting a classification
      After you create a classification, you can delete a classification when it is not required in your test environment.
    - Granting access to classification
      You can grant or revoke access to the classification in your project to individual members with different roles or all members with a specific role. Without access to the classification, members cannot view, create, edit, delete, or use the classification.
  - Management of database connections
    You can add a database connection to a project and import the data from an external database in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
  - Management of database query
    You can find information about creating, editing, duplicating, and deleting the database query in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
- Working with Datasets on DevOps Test Hub
  You can find information about creating datasets in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), applying a dataset classification, editing datasets, and managing datasets that are in your project repository.
- Data fabrication
  Test data is the core component of any application testing. It is very time-consuming to create test data manually. You can use the data fabrication feature in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to create realistic datasets for comprehensive testing scenarios. The feature provides data fabrication capabilities that can help you to generate synthetic data quickly and efficiently without the risk of data leaks or privacy issues.

Creating a classification

As a project Project Owner or Tester, you must create a classification to organize encrypted datasets, external database connections, and API secrets so that project members can use them efficiently..

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Ensured that you are assigned a role as a Viewer, Tester, or Project Owner in the project.
Created a project in Test Hub. See Managing DevOps Test Hub projects.
Configured the repository that contains the test assets in your project. See Adding repositories to a server project.

Procedure

Log in to Test Hub.

The team space that contains your project is displayed.
Click Active projects > My projects > project_name to open the project that contains the test assets.

The Overview page of the project is displayed.
Click Manage > Security.
The Security page is displayed.
Click Create Classification and enter a name for the classification.
Click Create.
The classification is added to the Classification list.

What to do next

You can grant access to other project members to use the encrypted dataset. See Granting access to classification.
