Samples
This section describes about the sample project which can be used with HCL OneTest™ Performance to test the functionality of an application.
Installation tuning tests for WebSphere® Application Server
The installation tuning tests were created to quickly and conveniently apply load to an application server for the purpose of tuning the application server for maximum throughput. The three tests that are provided stress various parts of the application server.
Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install HCL OneTest™ Performance. After you install the product, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration and integration with other products. This guide is intended for administrators.
Installation of HCL OneTest™ Performance
Installation of the product involves verifying requirements, planning, managing licenses, and configuring web-based help. This section lists all such topics.
License management
Licensing for HCL OneTest™ Performance is administered through HCL Software License & Download portal. This portal is a FlexNet-based web application that helps to manage software entitlements and licenses.
Product upgrade and migration
When you want to use the enhanced functionalities of HCL OneTest™ Performance, you must upgrade to the latest version of the product software.
Configuration of the product
You must configure HCL OneTest™ Performance when you want to run SAP tests, collect response time breakdown data, or use the product in the Docker container.
Integration with other products
You can integrate HCL OneTest™ Performance with certain products to run tests, manage test assets, and create defects.
Test Author Guide
This guide describes how to create test scripts in HCL OneTest™ Performance and enhances tests by applying different test elements such as dataset, variables, and verification points. This guide is intended for testers.
Creating tests
To create a test, you record representative interactions with an application.
Editing tests
After you record a test, you can edit it to include datasets (to provide variable data rather than the data that you recorded), verification points (to confirm that the test runs as expected), and data correlation (to ensure that returned data is appropriate for the corresponding request). You can also add protocol-specific elements to a test. When you edit a test, the modified items appear in italic type. The italic type changes to regular type after you save the test.
Compound tests
You can create compound tests to help you organize smaller tests into scenarios that can then be run end-to-end. You can combine tests from different extensions to achieve end-to-end flow.
Simulating services with stubs
Service stubs enable you to simulate the behavior of an actual service for a wide variety testing or integration purposes.
Sending service requests with the generic service client
The generic service client enables you to send requests to services for which you do not have a convenient client and to view the responses returned by the service.
Emulating workloads
You emulate a workload by creating a schedule and adding user groups/rate runner groups, tests, and other elements to it.
Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you can perform on schedules, test execution with custom code, and Extending HCL OneTest™ Performance to support other protocols. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
Running schedules with performance testing
After you have added the user groups, tests, and other items to a schedule, and you are satisfied that it represents a realistic workload, you run the schedule.
Extending test execution with custom code
You can extend how you run your tests by writing custom Java™ code and calling the code from the test. You can also specify that results from the tests that are affected by your custom code be included in reports.
Extending HCL OneTest™ Performance to support other protocols
The HCL OneTest™ Performance Extensibility Software Development Kit (SDK) enables you to create extensions to support testing new protocols without modifying the core product code. You can create an extension that provides functionality for testing other protocols in addition to the HTTP protocol support that is standard in HCL OneTest Performance.
Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to keep track of the performance of the application by evaluating the test results. This guide is intended for test managers.
Evaluating results in web analytic reports
After the test run, evaluate the results in the web analytic reports. Web analytics collect data using new technologies thereby providing better user experience.
