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.
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.
Canceling a scheduled test run
You might want to cancel a scheduled test run when you realized that you did not configure all the settings for a test, want to change a few settings for the test, or do not want that test to run.

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.
  - Viewing the progress of running test assets
    After you initiate or schedule a test run on the Execution page, you can view the progress of the test assets that are running or scheduled to run, from the Progress page. You can also view the test assets that have completed their run, are stopped or canceled, during the past hour.
  - Checking logs
    To verify how the test ran or to debug test run failure, you can check the Test Log and Execution log.
  - Resetting the configuration settings for a test run
    When you are configuring a test run either as a first-run or when repeating the run, and you do not want to proceed with the settings configured or saved for the test run, you can reset the configuration settings. Resetting the configuration reverts all the settings to their default values for the test run.
  - Stopping a test run
    You might want to stop a test run when you realized that you did not configure all the settings or you want to change a few settings for the test run.
  - Canceling a scheduled test run
    You might want to cancel a scheduled test run when you realized that you did not configure all the settings for a test, want to change a few settings for the test, or do not want that test to 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.
- Managing access to the server
  Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.

Canceling a scheduled test run

You might want to cancel a scheduled test run when you realized that you did not configure all the settings for a test, want to change a few settings for the test, or do not want that test to run.

Before you begin

You must have scheduled a test run from the Execution page.

About this task

You can cancel a scheduled test by using the Cancel icon Image of the cancel icon available on the Progress page.

Procedure

Go to the Progress page and identify the scheduled test that you want to cancel.
Click the Cancel icon in the Actions column of the selected test.

The Cancel scheduled execution dialog box is displayed.
Click Yes.

A notification is displayed that the scheduled test run is canceled.

Results

You have successfully canceled a scheduled test. The canceled test runs are displayed on the Progress page with the status as Canceled. The canceled test runs are not displayed on the Results page and are not considered in the count of tests executed that are displayed on the Overview page.

What to do next

You can re-initiate the test run from the Execution page by completing the configurations that you want for the test.
