Test Author guide
This guide, which is intended for a tester and test manager, describes how to create test assets in HCL OneTest™ Server and publish test assets to the Git repository that you have configured.
- Datasets overview
  A dataset provides tests with variable data during a run. The test that uses a dataset at run time replaces a value in the recorded test with variable test data that is stored in the dataset.
- HCL OneTest Data overview
  HCL OneTest™ Data is an automated and customizable tool to generate the test data. HCL OneTest Data is one of the components of HCL OneTest Server and can be accessed as Data Fabrication in the HCL OneTest Server GUI.
  - Data design environment overview
    The data design environment is a graphical interface to design all its components and data generation rules to generate test data on user demand. You use various components to structure data in HCL OneTest™ Data.
  - Task flows: HCL OneTest Data
    You can use the task flow diagram to get started with HCL OneTest™ Data. After you select your project in HCL OneTest Server and navigate to the Data Fabrication page, you can complete the tasks in sequence to generate the test data. You can click the links to get more information about the tasks.
  - Generation of test data
    To test an application, you use data that is passed to get real-time results. Since creating test data manually is time-consuming, you can use HCL OneTest™ Data, an automated tool to generate random test data. You can generate the test data in various file formats.
  - Integration with other applications
    You can integrate certain applications with HCL OneTest™ Data to generate the test data.
  - Troubleshooting
    You can troubleshoot some of the common problems that you might encounter when you use HCL OneTest™ Data.

    - Files
      You add a file to a project to use it as input in the project. You can upload a file from your local file system to a project from the Files tab to generate test data. Alternatively, you can upload it when you define an action.
    - Connections
      A connection defines the properties that are required to connect to an external resource. An action uses a connection to provide source data to a project or write data from a source to a target. Multiple actions can use the same connection. You can define both connections and actions at the project level.
    - Schema design
      A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
      - Introduction to schema design
        Use the Schemas tab to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
      - Type properties
        The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
      - Item restrictions
        Item restrictions are an optional feature you can use to specify valid or invalid data objects for an item type. Item restrictions are grouped into three categories: Value, Character, and Range.
