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.
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.
Configuration of Jira as a change management system
You can integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jira to manage and create defects after the test run is complete.
Task flow for integrating Jira
You must perform these tasks in sequence as listed in the following table. The table also provides you the links to the information about the tasks.

Test Execution Specialist Guide

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.
- Management of agents
  You can find information about managing the agents that you must install on remote computers and configure the agents to 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.
- Management of 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 in your team space.
- 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.
  - Configuration of Jira as a change management system
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jira to manage and create defects after the test run is complete.
    - Task flow for integrating Jira
      You must perform these tasks in sequence as listed in the following table. The table also provides you the links to the information about the tasks.
    - Generating public and consumer keys
      You must first generate a public key and a consumer key for your project that is available on HCL OneTest™ Server to configure Jira.
    - Configuring the Jira server
      After the administrator of the Jira server sets up the application link in Jira by using both the public and consumer keys, you can configure the Jira server for your project on HCL OneTest™ Server where the tests are available.
    - Creating Jira defects
      You can create a Jira defect for a test available in your project and track the defect from HCL OneTest™ Server after the test run is complete.
- 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.
