- 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 or API 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 or virtual services.
- 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 available 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.
  - Prerequisites for running HTTP virtual services
    You can find information about the prerequisite tasks that you must complete before you configure a run of the HTTP virtual services in HCL OneTest™ Server.
    - Prerequisites for running HTTP virtual services in a Kubernetes cluster
      You can find information about the tasks that you must complete before you configure a run of the HTTP virtual services in the HCL OneTest™ Server cluster or a remote Kubernetes cluster.
    - Prerequisites for running virtualized Istio based services in HCL OneTest™ Server
      You can find information about the tasks that you must complete before you run virtualized Istio based services in HCL OneTest™ Server.
    - Setting up intercepts
      When you want to run virtual services on HCL OneTest™ Server, you can set up intercepts to route requests to the virtual service. You must configure the intercepts with the HCL OneTest Server URL, team space ID, and offline user token that is generated from HCL OneTest Server so that the intercepts can register with HCL OneTest Server.
  - Viewing intercepts that are registered with a team space on HCL OneTest™ Server
    After you install the HTTP proxies and configure them with your offline user token, the proxies register with HCL OneTest™ Server in a team space as intercepts and you can view the registered intercepts on the Agents and Intercepts page of the team space.
  - Viewing virtual service resources
    When project repositories contain virtual service resources and you want to view the resources so that you can start them, you can view the virtual services from the Resources page in your team space on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Configuring a run of a virtual service
    When you have virtual service resources that are in the repositories added to your project, you must configure a run of the virtual service to start an instance of the virtual service in the HCL OneTest™ Server cluster, a remote Kubernetes cluster, or an API agent.
  - Running HTTP virtual services in Kubernetes cluster without using proxies
    When you run HTTP virtual services in the Kubernetes cluster of HCL OneTest™ Server or a remote Kubernetes cluster, the endpoint on which the virtual service is exposed externally uses a host name that includes a generated ID. If a client application is required to call the virtual service directly via its external host name and not via the HTTP proxy, then you might want to determine the host name to configure the client first before you start the virtual service.
  - Viewing running instances of virtual services
    After you start virtual services from the Resources page, you can view the instances of the virtual services that are running from the Instances page in HCL OneTest™ Server. You can view the details, configuration settings, routing rules, usage statistics, or logs of a specific running instance of the virtual service. You can also stop the running instance.
  - Viewing configurations of running instances of virtual services
    After you start virtual services from the Resources page, you can view the details, configuration settings, routing rules, usage statistics, or logs of a specific running virtual service instance from the Instances page on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Modifying configurations of running instances of virtual services
    After you start virtual services from the Resources page and before you run tests on the virtual service, you might want to modify the configurations for the behavior or the logging level of the running instance.
  - Viewing routing rules of the virtual services
    When you run virtual services that are created to run on proxies or intercepts and have routing rules defined, you can view the proxies or intercepts and the routing rules from the Intercept Rules page.
  - Viewing usage statistics of virtual services
    After you start virtual service resources that are in the project repositories, and then run tests on the virtual service, you can view the usage statistics of the virtual services from the Usage page on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Stopping virtual services
    After you started instances of the virtual services from the Resources page, you must stop the running instance from the Instances page when you do not want to use the instance. You can stop a single instance, multiple, or all running instances.
- 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 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.
