Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
Test assets and a server project
HCL OneTest™ Server projects manage access to your test assets, which are stored in a Git repository. Projects are maintained in a team space. Projects are either public by default or private. Private projects are not discoverable by other users. You can either add your own project or you can request to be a member of another public project.
Archiving or unarchiving server projects
You can archive a project when that project is no longer needed but you want to retain it for future reference. If you do want to use an archived project, you can unarchive it.

Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
- Team space management
  You might want to become a team space member, add members to your team space, change a user role in a team space, modify the team space, or delete a team space.
- Test assets and a server project
  HCL OneTest™ Server projects manage access to your test assets, which are stored in a Git repository. Projects are maintained in a team space. Projects are either public by default or private. Private projects are not discoverable by other users. You can either add your own project or you can request to be a member of another public project.
  - Working with projects in a team space
    After you log in to HCL OneTest™ Server, you must have a project to perform the test activities. To work with projects, you must create and configure projects.
  - Repository considerations for a server project
    To collaborate with other project stakeholders, you can open test assets from a local clone of the Git repository, pull project test assets from a Git repository, and push changes made to your local test assets to a Git repository. Before you add a project and add a repository to that project, you must consider some information about repositories.
  - Adding a project
    The first step is to add a project and provide some details about it.
  - Adding repositories to a server project
    You can add a single repository individually or multiple repositories simultaneously to a server project to access assets and resources that are available in the repositories.
  - Secrets configuration
    If you are working with an API suite and the project test asset contains environment variables that are required for the test runs, you must configure the environment variables as secrets in a secrets collection by using the Secrets tab. Configuring secrets enable the API suite to run correctly on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Adding users to a project
    You can add users to your server project so they can access your test assets.
  - Viewing active projects
    After you log in to HCL OneTest™ Server, you can view both active and archived projects in the Initial team space.
  - Changing the visibility configuration of a project
    After you create a project, you might want to change the visibility configuration of the project from the public, which is the default, to private.
  - Becoming a project member
    You might want to request to be a member of another project. New users without any projects might also want to be a member of an existing project.
  - Managing access to server projects
    You might want to add or remove a project member role from your project.
  - Archiving or unarchiving server projects
    You can archive a project when that project is no longer needed but you want to retain it for future reference. If you do want to use an archived project, you can unarchive it.
  - Deleting server projects
    You might want to delete a project when the project is no longer needed, and you want to free up disk space.
  - Project overview
    After you configure a project with one or more Git repositories and run some test assets, you can view statistics about those test assets.
- Managing repositories
  After you create a project in HCL OneTest™ Server, you can add repositories that contain test assets and resources to the project. You can also change the repository details, update the user credentials of a repository, delete a repository, create a webhook for the configured repository.
- Protecting API test assets by using secrets
  Secrets are key-value pairs that are created for your project in HCL OneTest™ Server under a secrets collection. You can create secrets collections for your project that enable you or members in your project to use secrets at test runtime either in HCL OneTest Server or in desktop clients.
- Managing an encrypted dataset
  You can use encrypted datasets to limit access to confidential information such as account number or passwords. You can arrange data by an appropriate category so that project members can use datasets more effectively in certain tests and protect them.
- Managing notifications
  HCL OneTest™ Server provides a feature to display notifications for different events within the user interface (UI) of HCL OneTest Server. You can configure an SMTP server on HCL OneTest Server when you want HCL OneTest Server to send out notifications about the different events as emails to the subscribed users.

Archiving or unarchiving server projects

You can archive a project when that project is no longer needed but you want to retain it for future reference. If you do want to use an archived project, you can unarchive it.

About this task

As a project owner, you can archive inactive projects. Archived projects are not visible to users or project members, but owners can show or hide their archived projects. You can view the list of all archived projects from the navigation pane. Archived projects can be unarchived.

Note:

Procedure

To archive a project:
1. Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server.
2. Select your project from the Projects page.
3. Click the Configure project icon on the project card.
  The Details page is displayed.
4. Click Archive Project.
5. Confirm that you want to archive the project when prompted.
  
  If you proceed, the project is archived and is hidden from My Projects.
To view an archived project:
1. Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server.
2. Select your team space.
3. Click Archived Projects.
  A list of all archived projects that are associated with you is displayed under My Projects and the archived projects that are associated with others are displayed under Other Projects.
To unarchive a project:
1. Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server.
2. Click Archived Projects.
3. Select your archived project, and then click the Configure project icon on the project card.
  The Details page is displayed.
4. Click Unarchive Project.
5. Confirm that you want to unarchive the project when prompted.
  If you proceed, the project is unarchived and is shown under My Projects.
