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 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 run a test asset in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must read the information about the different tests assets. You can add a remote static agent, Docker host, or Kubernetes cluster to the project and then select it as an alternate location to run the test assets.
- 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 then add the registered remote Docker host to your project before you can run tests on the remote Docker host location.
- Management of remote Kubernetes clusters
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Kubernetes clusters. After you set up a remote Kubernetes cluster, you can register the external cluster with a team space on HCL OneTest™ Server. You must then add the remote cluster to a project before you run test assets or resources on the remote Kubernetes cluster.
- 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.
- Configuration of a scan of an application code
  You can use HCL OneTest™ Server to scan your application code for security vulnerabilities similar to using the HCL AppScan CodeSweep plugin to scan code in Visual Studio.
- 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, Suites, or schedules are run and completed, you can view the results and open the 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
  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. Resource monitoring in HCL OneTest™ Server helps you monitoring the resources of a system and establish the performance metrics and usage data 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.
- Integrations 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.

Managing access to HCL OneTest™ Server

Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.

You can configure the desktop clients and third-party integrations to access HCL OneTest™ Server by using the offline user tokens created from the server.

Offline user tokens are used in the following cases:

To retrieve secrets configured on the server to be used in certain tests in HCL OneTest™ API.
To enable publishing of test results and reports from desktop clients to HCL OneTest™ Server.
To enable the Resource Monitoring Service in HCL OneTest™ Performance to monitor a data source during a run on HCL OneTest™ Server.
To enable agents to connect with HCL OneTest™ Server.
To enable HTTP proxies to connect with HCL OneTest™ Server.
To enable third-party integrations.

About this task

From HCL OneTest™ Server, you can create an offline user token, copy it, and then use that token to enable connections to be authenticated by HCL OneTest™ Server.

You can also delete all the tokens, when you no longer need access or you want to prevent access to the server.

Procedure

Creating a token

Follow these steps:

Click the User icon from the menu bar, and then select Create Token.

The Create Offline User Token dialog is displayed.

Note: This token is not accessible after you copy it as the dialog box closes.
Copy the token and paste it into a private location for ongoing reference.

The dialog closes.

Paste the token into the desktop client UI or in the application where this token is required.

See the following table for a list of where you can use the tokens and where you can find more information.

Table 1. Using the offline user tokens to access HCL OneTest™ Server
Use the offline user token in the following places	More information
HCL OneTest™ API	See HCL OneTest™ API and HCL OneTest™ Server.
HCL OneTest™ Performance	See Publishing test results to the server. See Enabling Enablement of Resource Monitoring services for a schedule.
HCL OneTest™ UI	See Publishing test results to the server.
Third-party integrations	See Integrations with other applications.

Deleting tokens

Follow these steps:
1. Click the User icon from the menu bar and select Delete Tokens.
  
  The Delete All Offline User Tokens dialog is displayed.
2. Inform the desktop client users that the tokens were deleted. Fix any test automation scripts that used tokens.
