REST APIs in HCL OneTest Data

HCL® OneTest™ Data uses schemas to generate the test data. You can create and design a schema from the Data Fabrication page into your project. If you want to perform the operations on schema from any external applications, then HCL® OneTest™ Data provides you a list of REpresentational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

To perform any operations on schema in HCL® OneTest™ Data, you must understand the following terminologies:

Dictionary: The dictionary is a collection of all entities you need to define in a schema.
Schema: The schema is a collection of definitions of the entities required to generate the test data.

The entities of a schema are classified into the following types:
- Category: A category is used to organize other entities in a schema in a structural format.
- Group: A group is a complex data entity that consists of other entities.
- Item: An item is a simple data entity that does not consist of other entities.
Structure: The structure is a view that defines how the entities of a schema are organized and related to each other.
