System Requirements
This document includes information about hardware and software requirements for HCL OneTest™ Virtualization.
Getting Started
This guide provides an overview and describes the tasks to get you started with HCL OneTest™ Virtualization.
HCL OneTest™ Virtualization overview
HCL OneTest™ Virtualization is software that is used for creating, maintaining, publishing, and running message-based stubs and database stubs.
Interactive Guides
The home page contains several interactive guides that walks you, step by step, through some of the common tasks.
Administrator Guide
Typically, a user with the administrator role is responsible for certain tasks including installation, configuration, and integration of the product. This guide lists all such topics.
Installation of HCL OneTest™ API Agent
You can find information about installing HCL OneTest™ API Agent from the HCL OneTest Studio, HCL OneTest Virtualization, or HCL OneTest API package.
Installation of HCL® Quality Server
You can find information about installing HCL® Quality Server from the HCL OneTest™ Studio, HCL OneTest Virtualization, or HCL OneTest API package.
Uninstalling the product software
When you no longer require the software, you can use either IBM® Installation Manager or the stand-alone installer to uninstall the products that you have installed.
Upgrading HCL OneTest™ API Agent
When a new version of software becomes available, you can perform an upgrade. Use IBM® Installation Manager to update the software installation.
License management
Licensing for your HCL software is administered through HCL Software License & Download portal. This portal is FlexNet-based web application to manage software entitlements and licenses.
Configuring HCL OneTest™ API Agent
After you install HCL OneTest™ API Agent, you must edit or modify the attributes in the Agent.config file for the features that you want to test by using the agent. You need to configure the libraries to enable testing the SUT based on certain technologies and also set up the required proxies for enabling testing.
Running HCL OneTest™ API Agent on Microsoft™ Windows™
On computers running Microsoft™ Windows™, the agent is typically installed and run as a Windows service.
Running HCL OneTest™ API Agent on Unix-like systems
On Unix-like systems, you can start HCL OneTest™ API Agent by running the Agent executable in the root of the HCL OneTest API Agent installation directory (for example, /opt/HCL/HCLProducts/Agent/).
HCL OneTest™ API Agent
You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you install and run the HCL OneTest™ API Agent.
HTTP/TCP proxy setup
The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application.
Setting up the JDBC proxy
After you install the JDBC proxy, you must deploy the proxy into the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) of the relevant applications, set up the proxy for use, and verify that it is deployed.
Administering HCL Quality Server
HCL Quality Server is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The HCL Quality Server allows you to use virtual services published with HCL OneTest™ API to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in HCL OneTest Virtualization.
Tester Guide
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, and applications. To enable testing, you must configure and enable the environment for testing.
API Tester Reference
This guide provides the topics to help the API tester use the product by using the user interface, commands or scripts. This guide is intended for API testers.
API Tester Guide (Service Virtualization)
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for using virtual services or stubs to simulate parts of an environment if the real services are not yet available or because they are difficult or expensive to use. This guide is intended for API Testers.
Test Manager Guide
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for tracking the quality of the application. This guide is intended for Test Managers.
Viewing results in HCL Quality Server
You can use HCL Quality Server to display the results of tests that you run in both HCL OneTest™ API and HCL Quality Server.
Viewing usage statistics of virtual services in HCL Quality Server
HCL Quality Server collects and stores usage metric data. The metric data might include the number and types of actions that are used, the features that are used in the workbench, details about Operating System or languages set while running, and so forth. You cannot view the metric data on the HCL Quality Server user interface, but it is available from the underlying implementation. Storage is either managed by H2 or optionally Apache Cassandra. For more information about the H2 database and its management, see sections A. Server Configuration and D. Deleting Data.
Security Considerations
You can take certain actions to ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls.
Security considerations for HCL® Quality Server
You must ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls. Also, you must know about any security limitations that you might encounter with this server application.
