Release notes for HCL OneTest™ Server

The test data generation that was previously possible by using HCL® OneTest™ Data is enhanced through the redesign of the user interface and the supported architecture and is now available in a new avatar.

You can use the in-built data generators or create customized data generators to suit your test data requirements. You can preview the test data in the UI before you generate the test data. You can also download the generated test data.

You can view the history of the test data generated, and you can regenerate the test data with or without altering any of the parameters used.

See Data fabrication.

The findings from the analysis are presented as a recommendation for each of the parameters on the Infrastructure > Analyzers page in the team space.

You can improve Machine Learning recommendations by altering the default Threshold value that specifies the level of confidence required in the insights. You can also improve the accuracy of the recommendations by running multiple tests with differing loads repeatedly.

See Machine learning capabilities in HCL OneTest Server.

The CSV Editor that is used to edit datasets is enhanced and now opens within the HCL OneTest™ Server UI, which previously opened in a separate browser tab.

Further, the pages and the methods to create, open, or view datasets are changed in their presentation in the UI.

See Datasets overview.

You can now set the dataset classification (encrypted password) for a dataset irrespective of its location in branches in a repository. The dataset classification that you set is applied to all branches and you need not set a password for each branch that contains the dataset. If you want to use different passwords, then you can create a different dataset by cloning the dataset that you want.

See Managing an encrypted dataset.

HCL OneTest™ Server now provides support for running browser-based tests by using the in-built Chrome and Edge browsers after you accept the license terms for usage. If you do not accept the license terms at the time of signing in or later, tests that use these browsers fail to run successfully.

See Managing third-party licenses.

You can now run an AFT Suite, which contains mobile or Web UI tests on a device, emulator, or simulator that is connected to an agent of a device cloud. You must enter the details of the agent or device cloud as variables while you configure a run of the AFT Suite.

See Configuring an AFT Suite to run on a mobile device by using variables.

You can now select or create a project to override the project that is configured for a cloud credential when you want to run a mobile test, Web UI test, Compound test, or an AFT Suite. The tests run on mobile devices that are connected to a mobile device cloud.

See Configuring an AFT Suite to run on a mobile device by using a cloud credential, Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains mobile tests to run by using a cloud credential, or Configuring a run of a Compound Test that contains Web UI tests to run by using a cloud credential.

After you configure Jira as a change management system on HCL OneTest™ Server, you can now add the test reports or test log to the Jira issue that you create for a test result. You can then view the attached reports or log from your project in Jira.

See Creating Jira issues for the test results.

You can now view the overall statistics and time-series statistics in Grafana by using queries for the test logs that are generated in HCL OneTest™ Server.

See Viewing test results data in Grafana.

The display of the events in the Web UI or Functional test log is enhanced. Previously, the events were displayed under the UIScript node and placed under the Test node, which did not represent the correct hierarchy.

Now, the events are placed under the Test node and the UIScript node is no longer displayed, thus displaying the correct hierarchy of the events in the test log.

The Resource Monitoring Java Agent now requires Java 17 JRE or JDK to be installed on the computer that is used to collect the Resource Monitoring data from HCL OneTest™ Server.
