Integrations in UI Test perspective
In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Web UI Test perspective.
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.
Prerequisites to run tests in a GitHub Actions Workflow
Before you configure a test run for any test resources that are in a project repository of HCL OneTest™ UI, you must complete certain tasks to run the test resources in a GitHub Actions Workflow.

Prerequisites to run tests in a GitHub Actions Workflow

Before you configure a test run for any test resources that are in a project repository of HCL OneTest™ UI, you must complete certain tasks to run the test resources in a GitHub Actions Workflow.

You must be familiar with creating projects and running test resources from HCL OneTest™ UI.

You must complete the following tasks in HCL OneTest™ UI:

Created a test in the UI Test perspective. See Testing in the UI Test perspective.
Opened and viewed the details of the test resources that you want to run in a GitHub Actions Workflow. You must make a note of the test resource details that are in HCL OneTest™ UI.
You must note the following details of the test resource that are to be provided in the YAML file for the GitHub Action:
- The complete path to the Eclipse workspace.
- The name of the project containing the test.
- The relative path from the project to the test including the file name of the test. A test can be WebUI test, Compound test, or Accelerated Functional Test (AFT) suite.

You must complete the following tasks outside of HCL OneTest™ UI:

Create an empty Git repository on any GitHub Enterprise server, if you do not already use Git repositories to store the test resources that you create. For more information about creating Git repositories, refer to Creating a new repository.
If you are already using Git repositories to store test resources created, you can use the same repositories.
Note: You must have the required privileges in the Git repository to create a GitHub Actions Workflow.
Enable the GitHub Actions option in the Git repository, if it is not available as an option to use. For more information about enabling the GitHub Actions, refer to Learn about GitHub Actions.
Set up self-hosted runners on your computer. For more information, refer to Adding self-hosted runners.

You can continue to configure a run as a GitHub action, see Configuring a test run in a GitHub Actions Workflow.
