Tester Guide
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, and applications. To enable testing, you must configure and enable the environment for testing.
API Tester Reference
This guide provides the topics to help the API tester use the product by using the user interface, commands or scripts. This guide is intended for API testers.
Working in non-GUI mode
Many test actions can be completed in non-GUI mode by using the command line, Ant, or REST interfaces.
Ant tasks
Support for the environment, scenario and stub Ant tasks is supplied with HCL Quality Server.
Accessing Ant tasks
The Apache Ant tasks package contains Ant tasks for controlling the environment, scenario and stubs in HCL Quality Server. The package is provided with HCL Quality Server.

  - Extending HCL OneTest™ API functionality by using custom functions
    You can add more calculations and operations to tests by using the HCL OneTest™ API custom function class. HCL OneTest API custom function is a Java™ class that extends the com.ghc.ghTester.expressions function.
  - Working in non-GUI mode
    Many test actions can be completed in non-GUI mode by using the command line, Ant, or REST interfaces.
    - Command-line interfaces
      HCL OneTest™ API command-line client is available in HCL OneTest API 8.0.1 or later.
    - Ant tasks
      Support for the environment, scenario and stub Ant tasks is supplied with HCL Quality Server.

      - Generating ANT scripts to run tests or suites
        You can generate ANT scripts from HCL OneTest™ API by using the Integration Tester Test Execution plug-in. You can use the generated script to run test resources automatically from within ANT by using the IntegrationTester ANT task.
      - Exit codes for Command-line client and Ant client
        The HCL OneTest™ API Command-Line Client and the HCL Quality Server Ant Client applications share the same exit codes.
    - REST services
      Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. When used in conjunction with HCL Quality Server, HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) are mapped to actions on domains, environments, scenarios, stubs and other resource types.
    - Running tests
      Use HCL OneTest™ API to run tests with command-line and Ant APIs.
    - Managing test results
      Use HCL Quality Server to manage test results with command-line APIs.
    - Managing domains
      You can create, list, update, and delete domains with the HCL Quality Server REST API.
    - Managing environments
      Locking a HCL Quality Server environment prevents other users from changing the state of that environment, for example, starting or stopping stubs.
    - Managing scenarios
      Use HCL Quality Server to manage scenarios with command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
    - Managing stubs
      You can manage stubs by using the command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
- API Tester Guide (Service Virtualization)
  This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for using virtual services or stubs to simulate parts of an environment if the real services are not yet available or because they are difficult or expensive to use. This guide is intended for API Testers.

Accessing Ant tasks

The Apache Ant tasks package contains Ant tasks for controlling the environment, scenario and stubs in HCL Quality Server. The package is provided with HCL Quality Server.

Download and extract the Apache Ant task package, AntClient.zip, from HCL Quality Server. For more information, see HCL OneTest API tool packages.

Note: Starting in V9.1.1 the Ant Client file was renamed to AntClient.zip from RTCPAntClient.zip.

The environment, scenario and stub Ant tasks are located in the com.ghc.ghTester.ant<Version Number>.jar file that is available in the downloaded AntClient package.

Example usage of the Ant tasks is contained in the following files:

create-update-delete-environment.xml
lock-unlock-environment.xml
publish-stubs.xml
start-stop-scenario.xml
start-stop-stub.xml
