Integration with Xray test management for Jira
When you use Jira as a change management system on HCL OneTest™ Server and you use Xray as the test management application in Jira, you can integrate Xray with HCL OneTest Server. With this integration, you can export the test results of the tests that run on HCL OneTest Server to your Jira project. You can then view and use the test results in your project in Jira.
Configuring the Xray integration
You can set up the Xray integration when you want to export test results from HCL OneTest™ Server to an issue in your Xray project in Jira. You must configure the Xray integration in your project in HCL OneTest Server before you select the Xray project in Jira as the location to export the test results after the test runs in HCL OneTest Server.

This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
- System modeling
  You can use the system model feature on HCL OneTest™ Server to create a model that simulates an application or system under test. You can define components to represent the actual components in the system under test, define their relationships and then view the components in a system under test as a diagrammatic representation.
- 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 plug-in 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.
  - Integration plug-in compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plug-in that are compatible with HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous development of your application, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, in Azure DevOps pipelines by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension.
  - Integration with HCL® Launch
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with HCL® Launch to run test assets as a Process from HCL Launch.
  - Integration with IBM® Engineering Test Management
    As a Project Owner, you can integrate IBM® Engineering Test Management as a quality management solution with HCL OneTest™ Server. You can run test assets that are available in a project from Engineering Test Management.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ Server plug-in to integrate HCL OneTest Server with Jenkins. After you complete the integration, you can run tests assets that are available in a project of HCL OneTest Server from a Jenkins server.
  - Integration with UrbanCode™ Deploy
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy to run test assets as a Process from UrbanCode Deploy.
  - Integration with Xray test management for Jira
    When you use Jira as a change management system on HCL OneTest™ Server and you use Xray as the test management application in Jira, you can integrate Xray with HCL OneTest Server. With this integration, you can export the test results of the tests that run on HCL OneTest Server to your Jira project. You can then view and use the test results in your project in Jira.
    - Generating API keys for the Xray app in Jira
      You must generate API keys for the Xray app in Jira and use them to configure the Xray integration in HCL OneTest™ Server. The Xray API keys are used by Jira to authenticate the requests from HCL OneTest Server.
    - Configuring the Xray integration
      You can set up the Xray integration when you want to export test results from HCL OneTest™ Server to an issue in your Xray project in Jira. You must configure the Xray integration in your project in HCL OneTest Server before you select the Xray project in Jira as the location to export the test results after the test runs in HCL OneTest Server.
    - Selecting a Jira Xray issue to export test results
      After you configure the Xray integration on HCL OneTest™ Server, you can select a Jira Xray issue in Jira or create a new issue in Jira to export the test results. The test results are exported to the selected issue after the tests run on HCL OneTest Server. You can then view and track the test results in your Jira project.
    - Managing the Xray configuration
      You can manage the configuration of the Xray integration that you set in HCL OneTest™ Server when you want to modify the API keys configured or when you want to delete the existing Xray configuration.
  - Integration with other applications
    You can integrate certain applications with HCL® OneTest™ Data to generate the test data.
- Managing access to HCL OneTest™ 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.
