Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install IBM® Rational® Functional Tester software. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration and integration with other products. This guide is intended for administrators.
- Installing
  In this section, you will learn about two ways to install the product. In the first approach, you use an executable file to directly install the product in an easy manner. In the second approach, you download and install IBM® Installation Manager and then use that tool to install the product.
- Starting Rational® Functional Tester from the command line
  You can start Rational® Functional Tester from the desktop environment or a command-line interface.
- Integrations in UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Web UI Test perspective.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugin that are compatible with HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Testing with Ant
    You can use Ant to run compound tests and Web UI tests from the command-line interface.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps for UI tests
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in HCL OneTest™ UI and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with HCL OneTest UI by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
  - EGit integration
    You can store your test assets in the remote Git repository and use EGit for version control operations. EGit is an Eclipse plugin for the Git version control system.
  - Integration with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management
    You can manage test assets with Jazz™ source control management by integrating HCL OneTest™ UI with Engineering Workflow Management, formerly known as Rational® Team Concert™ eclipse client.
    - Tracking defects with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management
      You can submit defects to Engineering Workflow Management from HCL OneTest™ UI. By default, the test log editor uses Bugzilla as the defect tracking site. You must configure the product to use Engineering Workflow Management for defect tracking.
  - Integration with Engineering Test Management
    You can integrate IBM® Engineering Test Management (formerly known as IBM Rational® Quality Manager) with HCL OneTest™ UI to initiate test runs from Engineering Test Management.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ UI Jenkins plugin to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting from 9.2.0, you can use the Maven plug-in that is provided with the testing product to run tests as part of your Maven build. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM).
  - Integration with Micro Focus ALM
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to run test assets from Micro Focus ALM.
  - Integration with HCL OneTest™ API
    You can use HCL OneTest™ API extension to run API tests from HCL OneTest UI. You can either import the projects from HCL OneTest API or manage them from HCL OneTest UI by establishing the connection between the products. You can also create a compound test to run the tests by using the Agents.
  - Testing with UrbanCode Deploy
    With the HCL OneTest™ UI plugin for IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy, you can automate the execution of tests and compound tests.
- Integrations in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Functional Test perspective.

Integration with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management

You can manage test assets with Jazz™ source control management by integrating HCL OneTest™ UI with Engineering Workflow Management, formerly known as Rational® Team Concert™ eclipse client.

Introduction

You can use Engineering Workflow Management eclipse client to connect to compatible Jazz™ servers, including Engineering Workflow Management servers. You must have a compatible version of Engineering Workflow Management server setup to use Jazz™ source control management. For information about compatible versions, see System Requirements.

Use this feature to do the following tasks:

Access Engineering Workflow Management eclipse client.
Manage the test assets by using Jazz™ source control management.

If you have installed the Engineering Workflow Management eclipse client, see the Getting Started section of the Engineering Workflow Management IBM Documentation to learn more about using Engineering Workflow Management.

To access work items, you can switch to the Work Items perspective by clicking Window > Open Perspective > Work Items.

Installing Engineering Workflow Management client

You must have a Jazz.net account to download and install Engineering Workflow Management. You can register for a Jazz.net account at https://jazz.net/pub/user/register.jsp and then, download Engineering Workflow Management from the Jazz site.

Notes:

From V7.0 or later, Rational® Team Concert™ is renamed to Engineering Workflow Management.

Tips:

You must install Engineering Workflow Management by using Installation Manager in the same package group as HCL OneTest™ UI.
Both the Engineering Workflow Management and HCL OneTest™ UI must use the same workspace.

To find the appropriate Engineering Workflow Management Installation Manager extension installer, perform the following steps:

Access the Engineering Workflow Management Download page from https://jazz.net/downloads/workflow-managementIBM® Engineering Workflow Management Download page.
