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.
Test run configurations
You can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server after you add the test resources to your project.
Configuring a test for a quick run
You can configure any type of test to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server when you want to quickly ensure that the test runs correctly. You might not want to set the different options for the test nor want to schedule the run.

- 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.
  - Configuring a test for a quick run
    You can configure any type of test to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server when you want to quickly ensure that the test runs correctly. You might not want to set the different options for the test nor want to schedule the run.
  - Configuring an AFT Suite run
    After you added the test resources that you created in the desktop client to the project, you can configure an AFT Suite to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring an API Suite run
    After you added the test resources that you created in the desktop client to the project, you can configure an API Suite to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains HTML tests
    After you added the test resources that you created in the desktop client to the project, you can configure a Compound Test that contains HTML tests to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains Web UI tests
    After you added the test resources that you created in the desktop client to the project, you can configure a Compound Test that contains Web UI tests to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains mobile tests
    After you added the test resources that you created in the desktop client to the project, you can configure a Compound Test that contains mobile tests to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains performance tests
    After you added the test resources that you created in the desktop client to the project, you can configure a Compound Test that contains performance tests to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a JMeter test run
    After you added the test resources that you created in JMeter to the server project, you can configure a JMeter test run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a JUnit test run
    After you added the test resources that contain the Maven project with the JUnit tests to the server project, you can configure a Junit test run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a Postman test run
    After you added the test resources that you created and exported from Postman to the server project, you can configure a run for Postman collections on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a run of a Rate Schedule or VU Schedule
    After you added the test resources that you created in the desktop client to the project, you can configure a Rate Schedule or VU Schedule to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Running tests by using Data Fabrication
    Starting from V10.0.2, if a test or schedule is associated with a dataset, you can replace the dataset at run time with the schema created from the Data Fabrication page.
- 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.
- Managing access to the server
  Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.

Configuring a test for a quick run

You can configure any type of test to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server when you want to quickly ensure that the test runs correctly. You might not want to set the different options for the test nor want to schedule the run.

Before you begin

Ensured that you are assigned a role as a Project Owner or Tester in the project. See Managing access to server projects.
Read and completed the tasks mentioned in Prerequisites to running tests, if they apply to the test that you want to configure for a run.

Procedure

Open the project that contains the test assets or resources that you added from the Git repository, and then click Execution.
Select the branch of the repository that contains the test assets or resources that you want to run.

All test assets in the selected branch are displayed on the Execution page.
Identify and select the test asset or resource that you want to run from the test assets listed.
Click the Execute icon in the row of the identified test asset.

The Execute test asset dialog box is displayed.
Select the version of the test resources that you want to run, if you want to run a different version other than the latest version.
Select Now to initiate the test run immediately after you click Execute.
Enter a label for the test run that helps you to identify the test on the Results page.

After the test run completes, the label that you entered is displayed for the test under the Labels column on the Results page.
Click Execute.
The test run is initiated.

Results

You have started a test run.

What to do next

You can choose to perform any of the following tasks:

View the progress of the test from the Progress page. See Viewing the progress of running test assets.
View the results, reports, and logs of the test from the Results page after the test completes the run. See Test results.
