The following sections list the new features, enhancements or other changes made in this release.
  • Support for Revenera 2022.12

    With Revenera 2018.02 (LLS 1.0) reaching EOS, you can now use Revenera 2022.12 (LLS 3.0) as a local license server to host licenses for HCL OneTest™ Server.

  • Support to run mobile tests on device clouds

    You can now configure a connection from HCL OneTest™ Server to a mobile device cloud by using the credentials of your cloud subscription account. You can then add team space members as authorized users of the cloud credential. The authorized users can run mobile tests on the mobile devices that are connected to a mobile device cloud.

    See Management of mobile device cloud credentials.

  • Enhancement to the webhooks feature

    The webhooks feature is enhanced to enable you to configure the behavior of notifications that were not sent because the webhook was disabled. You can decide to discard or send the queued notifications when you re-enable the webhook. Webhook templates defined at the team space are now also displayed at the project level.

    See Configuration of a webhook.

  • Support to download test reports

    You can now download the reports and logs of the tests from the Results page. Reports can be saved to a folder on your computer as a compressed file or PDF, which depends on the format of the generated report.

    See Test results and reports.

  • Support to override input tags of virtual services

    You can now specify values for stub input tags by using advanced configuration parameters when you run a virtual service.

    See Additional configuration parameters for virtual services.

  • Support to add an Azure repository

    You can now add an Azure repository that contains test resources to your project in HCL OneTest™ Server, and then run the resources from the server.

    See Repository considerations for a server project.

  • Removed support of Prometheus for virtual services

    Virtual service usage in HCL OneTest™ Server no longer utilizes Prometheus. If you upgrade from a previous version of HCL OneTest™ Server to 10.5.3, any virtual service usage that was captured before 10.5.3 will not be visible in the team space or project virtualization usage pages.
