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 Azure DevOps as a change management system
You can use Azure DevOps as a change management system in HCL OneTest™ Server to create work items in the Azure DevOps project for the tests that ran in HCL OneTest Server. Links to the Azure DevOps work items are displayed on the Results page in HCL OneTest Server, and you can then view and track the work items in the Azure DevOps server.
Editing or deleting the configuration
You can edit or modify the Azure DevOps configuration that you added and saved to the Change management system tab. If you do not want to use the existing configuration and want to set up a new Change management system configuration, then you can delete the configuration.

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 performance agents that you install on remote computers and then configure the remote 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 test runs in a GitHub Actions Workflow
  You can configure test runs of test resources that are in a project repository of HCL OneTest™ Server in a GitHub Actions Workflow. You can choose to run test resources that are in your server project in the GitHub Workflow when you do not want to run the test resources without opening the HCL OneTest Server project.
- 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.
  - Configuration of Atlassian Jira as a change management system
    You can use Atlassian Jira as a change management system in HCL OneTest™ Server to create issues in the Jira project for the tests that ran in HCL OneTest Server. Links to the Jira issues are displayed on the Results page in HCL OneTest Server, and you can then view and track the Jira issues in Jira.
  - Configuration of Azure DevOps as a change management system
    You can use Azure DevOps as a change management system in HCL OneTest™ Server to create work items in the Azure DevOps project for the tests that ran in HCL OneTest Server. Links to the Azure DevOps work items are displayed on the Results page in HCL OneTest Server, and you can then view and track the work items in the Azure DevOps server.
    - Configuring Azure DevOps as a change management system
      You must configure Azure DevOps as a change management system in your project in HCL OneTest™ Server before you can create work items in the Azure DevOps project for the tests that ran.
    - Creating Azure DevOps work items
      You can create Azure DevOps work items for the tests that ran in HCL OneTest™ Server. The issues are created in the project in Azure DevOps that you configured in HCL OneTest Server.
    - Viewing work item tracking details
      After you create a work item in HCL OneTest™ Server, you can view and track the details of the work item in Azure DevOps.
    - Editing or deleting the configuration
      You can edit or modify the Azure DevOps configuration that you added and saved to the Change management system tab. If you do not want to use the existing configuration and want to set up a new Change management system configuration, then you can delete the configuration.
  - Configuration of HCL® Compass as a change management system
    You can use HCL® Compass as a change management system to create HCL Compass work items after you run tests on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can then view and track the HCL Compass work items in HCL Compass.
- 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.
- Working with HCL OneTest™ Server REST services
  When you want to use the HCL OneTest™ Server REST APIs in your test automation scripts, you can view the REST APIs that are exposed by HCL OneTest Server. You can also run the APIs from within your project in HCL OneTest Server.
