Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
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. You can also configure third-party applications as webhooks on HCL OneTest Server when you want HCL OneTest Server to send push notifications about the server events to the third-party applications in a preset template.
Configuration of a webhook
You can configure webhooks to send notifications to a messaging application such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, or any generic application that can receive an HTTP POST request when any of the events occur on HCL OneTest™ Server. For example, when you add or remove a member from a team space or when you run a test.
Webhooks overview
Webhooks send a notification to the configured messaging applications when specific events occur on HCL OneTest™ Server.

- Managing team spaces
  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.
- Managing server projects
  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.
- 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. You can also configure third-party applications as webhooks on HCL OneTest Server when you want HCL OneTest Server to send push notifications about the server events to the third-party applications in a preset template.
  - Managing in-app notifications
    You can manage the in-app notifications by changing the subscriptions that are automatically enabled for you for all server events. You can view the server events that are automatically subscribed and then change the subscription for any or all events. For example, as a team space owner, you can choose to be notified when members of the team space create new projects or delete their projects but not be notified when tests are run.
  - Managing email notifications
    You can manage the email notifications by changing your subscription to the SMTP channel. For example, as a project owner, you can choose to be notified when members of the project add a repository or run a test in a team space but not be notified when projects are created in the team space.
  - Configuration of a webhook
    You can configure webhooks to send notifications to a messaging application such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, or any generic application that can receive an HTTP POST request when any of the events occur on HCL OneTest™ Server. For example, when you add or remove a member from a team space or when you run a test.
    - Webhooks overview
      Webhooks send a notification to the configured messaging applications when specific events occur on HCL OneTest™ Server.
    - Configuring a webhook template
      You can configure a webhook template on HCL OneTest™ Server to send notifications to the configured messaging application. You can configure a webhook template at the server, team space and project levels.
    - Configuring a webhook
      You can configure a webhook to send notifications to a messaging application whenever an event occurs on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can configure a webhook at the server, team space, and project levels.
    - Managing the webhook template configuration
      You can manage the webhook template configuration that you set on HCL OneTest™ Server when you want to edit, duplicate, delete the existing webhook templates, or create new templates.
    - Managing the webhook configuration
      You can manage the webhook configuration that you set on HCL OneTest™ Server you want to edit, duplicate, delete the existing webhook configurations, or create a webhook.
    - Management of events
      When an identified event occurs on HCL OneTest™ Server, a webhook sends an HTTP POST request to the URL that you configured for the webhook. The request contains the message associated with the event, in JSON format or plain text. Each event corresponds to a set of actions that occur. For example, when a member is added to a Team space or when a Test failed with an error.

Webhooks overview

Webhooks send a notification to the configured messaging applications when specific events occur on HCL OneTest™ Server.

When the event occurs, HCL OneTest™ Server automatically sends an HTTP POST request with event-related information in a JSON format or in plain text to the URL that you configured. You can define a template body or use the sample template that is set on HCL OneTest™ Server. You must create a channel type, a template, and a webhook to send an HTTP POST request.

You can manage the webhook template configuration and webhook configuration on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can identify the events and view the status of the events that are posted on the messaging application whenever an event occurs.
