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.
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.
Migrating custom code from previous versions
You can run scripts that contain custom code from previous releases and edit tests to make new calls to old or new custom code classes.

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.
  - Creating custom Java™ code
    Custom code uses references in the test as input and returns modified values to the test. Use the ICustomCode2 interface to create custom code and the ITestExecutionServices interface to extend test execution. These interfaces are contained in the com.ibm.rational.test.lt.kernel.services package.
  - Test execution services interfaces and classes
    You use the test execution services interfaces and classes to customize how you run tests. These interfaces and classes are located in the com.ibm.rational.test.lt.kernel package. Each interface and class is described briefly in this topic and in detail in the Javadoc information.
  - Reducing the performance impact of custom code
    If custom code runs inside a page, it can affect that page's response time.
  - Custom code examples
    Custom code enables you to perform such tasks as managing loops, retrieving virtual user information, running external programs from tests, and customizing data correlation.
  - Migrating custom code from previous versions
    You can run scripts that contain custom code from previous releases and edit tests to make new calls to old or new custom code classes.
- 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.

Migrating custom code from previous versions

You can run scripts that contain custom code from previous releases and edit tests to make new calls to old or new custom code classes.

About this task

You can perform the following tasks without any additional steps:

Run a script that contains custom code that was created in a previous release.
Edit a test to make a new call to an old custom code class.
Add new custom code to a test that contains old custom code.

To edit a class in existing custom code so that it can call new TestExecutionServices methods, type cast the IKlog argument in the old custom code to the ITestExecutionServices interface.

When you migrate the custom code from the previous versions, you must use getStatisticsManager2() as getStatisticsManager() API is deprecated from 10.1.0.
