Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install HCL OneTest™ API. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as configuration and integration of the product. This guide is intended for administrators.
- Installation of HCL OneTest™ API
  You can find information about installing HCL OneTest™ API from the HCL OneTest Studio or HCL OneTest API package.
- Installation of HCL® Quality Server
  You can find information about installing HCL® Quality Server from the HCL OneTest™ Studio, HCL OneTest Virtualization, or HCL OneTest API package.
- License management
  Licensing for your HCL software is administered through HCL® License & Delivery portal. This portal is FlexNet-based web application to manage software entitlements and licenses.
- Configuring HCL OneTest™ API
- Administering HCL Quality Server
  HCL Quality Server is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The HCL Quality Server allows you to use virtual services published with HCL OneTest™ API to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in HCL OneTest Virtualization.
  - Configuring HCL Quality Server
    You might need to configure the HCL Quality Server after the application is installed.
  - Getting started
    Start using the HCL Quality Server.
  - Task flow: Working with the HCL Quality Server Environments dashboard
    You can use the HCL Quality Server Environments dashboard to perform various tasks such as starting, stopping stubs and scenarios, and modifying stub configurations after you have published stubs to HCL Quality Server. You can also lock the environment that contain the published stubs.
  - Task flow: Working with the HCL Quality Server Infrastructure dashboard
    You can use the HCL Quality Server Infrastructure dashboard to perform administrative tasks such as viewing agents and proxies registered with HCL Quality Server.
  - Task flow: Working with the HCL Quality Server Network dashboard
    You can use the HCL Quality Server Network dashboard to perform administrative tasks such as viewing recording or routing rules configured for agents and proxies.
  - Managing users
    HCL Quality Server has multiple choices associated with its security model. Depending on the security option selected during installation of the HCL Quality Server, different options are available based on the user accounts.
  - Managing domains
    How to create and manage domains in HCL Quality Server.
  - Working with HCL Quality Server dashboards
    You can filter, search, sort, and choose the number of items to be displayed in HCL Quality Server dashboards.
  - Deleting environments
    This topic explains how to delete environments.
  - Agent and Proxy administration
    Use HCL Quality Server to view and control any of the HCL OneTest™ API agents or proxies.
  - Viewing HCL Quality Server logs
    If you are an HCL Quality Server administrator, you can view the audit, activity, and diagnostic logs of HCL Quality Server.
  - Viewing reports in HCL OneTest™ Server
    All the project stakeholders can view test reports for multiple testing products from the Results page on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can access the Results page from a web browser. Therefore, there is no need to install the desktop client.
  - Configuring stubs to connect to HCL Quality Server and the HTTP proxy
    A stub running on its own may not be sufficient in some cases, because it might have dependencies on services such as HCL Quality Server or the HTTP proxy. If the stub is running on the public cloud and the services are running in the enterprise, you must configure the stub to connect to these services.
  - Troubleshooting: HCL Quality Server
    You can use workarounds to troubleshoot common problems that you might encounter when you use HCL Quality Server.
- Integrating
  HCL OneTest™ API supports integration with various other tools for quality management, change management, software configuration management, and deployment automation tools such as UrbanCode™ Deploy.

Administering HCL Quality Server

HCL Quality Server is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The HCL Quality Server allows you to use virtual services published with HCL OneTest™ API to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in HCL OneTest™ Virtualization.

Functional overview

HCL OneTest™ Virtualization stubs designed in HCL OneTest™ API are published to the HCL Quality Server, which holds them in a repository. HCL Quality Server users can control stubs by means of web pages; and HCL Quality Server also manages the HCL OneTest™ Virtualization environment so that, where possible, messages are routed automatically to the stubs. (For more information about stubs, refer to HCL OneTest Virtualization overview.)

HCL Quality Server also enables you to schedule the execution of test suites on a single schedule basis or a recurring schedule basis.

In HCL Quality Server V9.2.1 or later, the way in which stubs are managed and controlled is significantly different from earlier versions. For more information, see Server-based stubs.

Technical overview

The following diagram shows how HCL Quality Server might be deployed in a HCL OneTest™ Virtualization Environment.
