Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install HCL OneTest™ UI 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.
- Installation
  You can find information about the installation of HCL OneTest™ UI.
- License management
  Licensing for HCL OneTest™ UI is administered through HCL Software License & Download portal. This portal is a FlexNet-based web application that helps to manage software entitlements and licenses.
- Starting HCL OneTest™ UI from the command line
  You can start HCL OneTest™ UI 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.
- Integrations in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Functional Test perspective.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugins that are required to integrate Jenkins, Ant, HCL® Launch, and UrbanCode™ Deploy with HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Testing with Ant
    You can use ant to run functional tests from the command line. Starting with version 2.0 of the ant plugin, you can run multiple tests simultaneously.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps for functional 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.
  - Testing with Cucumber
    Starting with HCL OneTest™ UI 9.2, you can take advantage of Cucumber integration to create, annotate, and run functional test scripts that can be easily understood by all members of the team.
  - Integrating and running Functional Test scripts in Micro Focus Application Life Cycle Management
    To obtain test result details, you can integrate and run Functional Test scripts in Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management by using a ready-made template available in the HCL OneTest™ UI installation directory.
  - Configuration of test runs as a GitHub Actions Workflow
    You can configure test runs of test resources that are in a project repository of HCL OneTest™ UI in a GitHub Actions Workflow. You can choose to run test resources that are in the project in the GitHub Workflow when you want to run the test resources without opening the HCL OneTest UI.
  - Testing with IBM® Engineering Test Management
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM® Engineering Test Management. You can execute the functional test scripts from HCL OneTest UI.
    - Configuring and running HCL OneTest™ UI adapter for IBM® Engineering Test Management
      You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with Engineering Test Management by using an adapter. The adapter is available in the HCL OneTest UI installation directory. You can run the tests that you create by using HCL OneTest UI in Engineering Test Management after you configure and start the adapter.
    - Configuring and running the adapter using the command-line interface
      Integration with HCL OneTest™ UI is implemented through the use of an adapter. The functional test adapter is installed by default when you install HCL OneTest UI. You can configure and start the adapter using the command-line interface.
    - Using the adapter to connect to IBM® Engineering Test Management through a proxy server
      You can use the adapter to connect to the Engineering Test Management server through a proxy server. You must configure the credentials for the proxy server from the command-line interface.
    - Handling inputs from IBM® Engineering Test Management in HCL OneTest™ UI scripts
      If you use IBM® Engineering Test Management to execute functional test scripts, you can make Engineering Test Management details available to the functional test script to be used during playback.
    - Working with keywords
      In HCL OneTest™ UI, you can associate functional test scripts with the keywords that are created in IBM® Engineering Test Management.
      - Working with keywords in HCL OneTest™ UI
        Keywords are defined and created in IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. In HCL OneTest™ UI, you can record a functional test script and then associate it with the keywords that are created in Rational Quality Manager.
      - Viewing keywords created in Engineering Test Management
        In HCL OneTest™ UI, you can record and then associate functional test scripts with the keywords that are created in IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. You can log on to the Rational Quality Manager to view keywords. You can play back the functional test script from Engineering Test Management.
      - Associating functional test scripts with the keywords
        You can automate an IBM® Rational® Quality Manager keyword by associating it with an HCL OneTest™ UI script. You can either associate an existing functional test script with a given keyword, or record a new script against the keyword and then associate the script. You can see the steps of a keyword when you associate an automated script. After a keyword is automated, you can open and execute the automated script.
      - Keyword View
        The HCL OneTest™ UI Keyword View displays the keywords. This view is displayed in the right pane of the Functional Test perspective.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ UI - Functional Test to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting with v9.2, you can use the Maven plug-in to run Functional Test scripts. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM). You can use the Maven plug-in that is provided to run tests as part of your Maven build.
  - Testing with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (formerly known as Rational Team Concert). You can manage functional test assets by using the Jazz™ source control management that the Jazz Eclipse Client provides. You must have a compatible version of IBM Engineering Workflow Management server set up to use the Jazz source control management.
  - Testing with Tivoli Composite Application Manager
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM Tivoli® Composite Application Manager. You can schedule the interval at which the application manager agent runs to track the response time and generate logs using HCL OneTest UI scripts.
  - Integration with HCL® Launch
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with HCL® Launch to run tests as a Process from HCL Launch.
  - Testing with UrbanCode™ Deploy
    You can run functional test scripts remotely with the HCL OneTest™ UI - Functional Test plugin for UrbanCode™ Deploy.

Working with keywords

In HCL OneTest™ UI, you can associate functional test scripts with the keywords that are created in IBM® Engineering Test Management.
