Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes how to automate the playback of the tests by using different methods such as Docker, IBM Cloud Private, Jenkins and so on. The test results can be pushed to HCL® Quality Server.
Configuration of test runs from the UI Test perspective
When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as test runs from the UI Test perspective before you can view their test results.
Setting a global delay for test steps
You can set the duration of a global delay in milliseconds between all the steps instead of adding the wait time manually for each of the steps in a recorded test. You can specify this global delay as a preference for the playback of Web UI, Windows, or mobile tests.

- Configuration of test runs from the UI Test perspective
  When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as test runs from the UI Test perspective before you can view their test results.
  - Configuration of Web UI test runs
    See the different ways to play back Web UI tests.
  - Configuration of mobile test runs
    After you record the tests for mobile applications by using HCL OneTest™ UI, you can play back the recorded tests by using HCL OneTest UI. The test reports help you to analyze the functional and performance issues in the mobile applications developed.
  - Configuration of Windows test runs
    You can run Windows tests that you created for Windows desktop applications in HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Configuration of AFT Suite runs
    When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as AFT Suite runs before you can view their test results.
  - Running a test on multiple browsers and devices simultaneously
    Rather than run a Web UI test on one browser at a time, you can run a single Web UI test on multiple browsers simultaneously. Doing so can significantly speed up your test effort. You can also extend your test coverage by adding mobile devices to the test run. You can run the test from HCL OneTest™ UI, from the command line, or from Rational® Quality Manager. This topic describes how to run a test from the UI Test perspective.
  - Setting a global delay for test steps
    You can set the duration of a global delay in milliseconds between all the steps instead of adding the wait time manually for each of the steps in a recorded test. You can specify this global delay as a preference for the playback of Web UI, Windows, or mobile tests.
  - Configuration of test runs from the command line
    When you need to run Web UI, mobile, and windows tests using the command line without opening the desktop client to run these tests, you can use the command line of HCL OneTest™ UI.
- Configuration of test runs from the Functional Test perspective
  When you created functional tests, you must configure the run of the recorded functional tests from the Functional Test perspective before you can view the test results.

Setting a global delay for test steps

You can set the duration of a global delay in milliseconds between all the steps instead of adding the wait time manually for each of the steps in a recorded test. You can specify this global delay as a preference for the playback of Web UI, Windows, or mobile tests.

Before you begin

You must have recorded a Web UI, Windows, or mobile test. See Testing in the UI Test perspective.

About this task

When you set the delay, during play back, each step starts after the previous step is completed and the delay time is passed. The global delay setting applies to all the test runs including the test runs by using the command-line interface.

You can also set the delay from the Run Configuration dialog by clicking the Configure UI Test Playback Preference checkbox, and then by entering the value in milliseconds. The value specified in this dialog applies only to the current test and it overrides the value that is set on the Preferences page.

Procedure

Go to Window > Preferences > Test Execution > UI Test Playback.
Click the Desktop tab.
Select the Global steps delay in milliseconds checkbox in the Playback options section.

Note: You must clear the Global steps delay in milliseconds checkbox to disable the global delay for all the test runs.
Click Apply and Close.

Results

You have set a global delay for the test steps.
