Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you must complete before you can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find information about configuring runs for the different test types that are supported. You can also find information about other tasks that you can perform on the Resource Monitoring Service, Virtualization, and Integrations with third-party applications. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
Integrating with other applications
You can integrate certain applications with HCL OneTest™ Server to run tests, view the test results, and create defects.
Integration with Jenkins
When you integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jenkins, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest Server from a Jenkins server by using the HCL OneTest Server Jenkins plugin.
Task flows for running test assets from Jenkins

Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you must complete before you can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find information about configuring runs for the different test types that are supported. You can also find information about other tasks that you can perform on the Resource Monitoring Service, Virtualization, and Integrations with third-party applications. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
- System modeling
  In this topic, you can find information about using the system model feature. You can also find the tasks that you can perform to create a system model. You must configure a repository to save the system model that you created for the application under test.
- Prerequisites to running tests
  Before you can configure and run a test in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must read the information about the different tests. You might want to add a remote static agent or a remote Docker host to the project as an alternate location to run the tests.
- Agents overview
  You can find information about the agents that you must install on remote computers and configure the agents with the offline user token so that the agents register with HCL OneTest™ Server. After the agents are registered, you can add them to your projects and then select them as locations to run tests.
- Managing Docker hosts
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Docker hosts. After you set up a remote Docker host, you can register the Docker host with HCL OneTest™ Server. You must add the registered remote Docker host to your project before you can run tests on the remote Docker host location.
- Test run configurations
  You can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server after you add the test resources to your project.
- Management of running tests
  Find information about the tasks that you can perform on a test that you configured for a run either while it runs or after it completes the run.
- Management of virtualized services
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on and manage the virtualized services that run on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can start or stop the virtual services that are connected to HCL OneTest Server. You can view the routing rules and usage statistics of virtualized services, agents, or intercepts that are connected to HCL OneTest Server.
- Test results
  After the tests or schedules are run and completed, you can view the results and reports in HCL OneTest™ Server to analyze the verdict, the performance, and statistics. You can also re-execute tests and schedules from the Result page with the same commit id.
- Resource Monitoring service
  When you apply load to a system under test, the amount of resources consumed by your system is increasing. If the capacity of the resources does not match the load, you can see performance issues in the results. The Resource Monitoring service in HCL OneTest™ Server helps you monitoring the resources of a system and establish the performance metrics of the system. Thus, you can observe the health of these resources while a schedule is running.
- Configuration of a change management system
  When you use any application to create and track defects (bugs), issues, or other work items, you can configure the application as a change management system on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can then create defects (bugs), issues, or other work items without the need to open your application.
- Integrating with other applications
  You can integrate certain applications with HCL OneTest™ Server to run tests, view the test results, and create defects.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugin that are compatible with HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous development of your application, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, in Azure DevOps pipelines by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension.
  - Integration with HCL Launch
    When you use HCL Launch for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server from HCL Launch by using the HCL OneTest Server Launch plugin.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    When you integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jenkins, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest Server from a Jenkins server by using the HCL OneTest Server Jenkins plugin.
    - Task flows for running test assets from Jenkins
      You can perform certain tasks to run test assets from the Jenkins Freestyle project.
    - Installing the HCL OneTest™ Server Jenkins Plugin
      You must install the latest version of the HCL OneTest™ Server plugin on the Jenkins server before you can use the plugin for running tests that are available in your HCL OneTest Server project on the Jenkins server.
    - Using a custom trust store
      You can use a custom trust store in the Jenkins build step of a HCL OneTest™ Server Jenkins plugin to establish a trusted and secure connection between the Jenkins server and HCL OneTest Server.
    - Configuring the Freestyle project
      You must configure a Freestyle project to add a build step, and then run tests that are available in your HCL OneTest™ Server project from Jenkins.
    - Running tests on the Jenkins server
      After you install the HCL OneTest™ Server Jenkins plugin on the Jenkins server, you can run tests that are available in your HCL OneTest Server project on the Jenkins server.
  - Integration with UrbanCode Deploy
    When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server from UCD by using the HCL OneTest Server UCD plugin.
  - Integration with other applications
    You can integrate certain applications with HCL® OneTest™ Data to generate the test data.
- Managing access to the server
  Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.
