Test Author Guide
This guide describes how to create test assets in HCL OneTest™ Server and publish test assets to the Git repository that you have configured. This guide is intended for testers and test managers.
Datasets overview
A dataset provides tests with variable data during a run. The test that uses a dataset at run time replaces a value in the recorded test with variable test data that is stored in the dataset.

- Datasets overview
  A dataset provides tests with variable data during a run. The test that uses a dataset at run time replaces a value in the recorded test with variable test data that is stored in the dataset.
  - Creating a dataset
    You can create datasets in HCL OneTest™ Server to replace the existing dataset values with new dataset values during a test or schedule run.
  - Editing a dataset
    You can add, modify, or remove data from a dataset by using the CSV Editor. The working principle of the CSV Editor is similar to that of a spreadsheet.
  - Publishing a dataset
    When you create or edit any datasets in HCL OneTest™ Server, you can publish your changes to the Git repository. Therefore, when you publish a dataset, other members in the project can use your dataset in their test assets run, if required.
  - Viewing a dataset
    When test assets includes datasets, you can view the contents of a dataset from HCL OneTest™ Server. The datasets residing in the Git repository are listed in the Datasets page.
  - Deleting a dataset
    You can delete the dataset when it is not required in your test environment.
- Generation of test data
  To test an application, you use data that is passed to get real-time results. Since creating test data manually is time-consuming, you can use HCL OneTest™ Data, an automated tool to generate random test data. You can generate the test data in various file formats.
Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you must complete before you can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find information about other tasks that you can perform on the Resource Monitoring Service, Virtualization, and Integrations with third-party applications. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.

Datasets overview

A dataset provides tests with variable data during a run. The test that uses a dataset at run time replaces a value in the recorded test with variable test data that is stored in the dataset.

In HCL OneTest™ Server, you can create a dataset and use it to replace the dataset values with original values during run time, when you want to run test assets that contain the dataset.

From the Datasets page, you can perform the following actions:

Table 1. Options available in Datasets page
Actions	Descriptions
View	You can view the contents of a dataset. See Viewing a dataset.
Create	You can create a dataset to use it during a test or schedule run. See Creating a dataset.
Edit	You can edit a dataset when you want to run a test asset with different dataset values. See Editing a dataset.
Configure	You can configure the string values in a dataset that contains variable data for tests to use when they run. See Dataset configuration settings.
Delete	You can delete the dataset when it is not required in your test environment. See Deleting a dataset.
Save As	You can save a copy of a dataset in a different folder or make a copy with a different name by clicking the Menu icon and then by selecting the Save As option.
Branch selection	You can view the dataset listed in the other branches of the repository by selecting the name of the branch from the Branch list. When you access the Datasets page for the first time after adding the repository, the default branch that it displayed is master. When multiple repositories are added to the same project, the following events occur: The datasets stored in the master branch of all the repositories are displayed. All the branches in all the repositories are listed in the drop-down list. To differentiate a common branch across multiple repositories added to the project, the tooltip is not displayed in front of the common branch name in the list.

Notes:

Only a project Owner or a project member whose role is a Tester can view and edit the dataset.
To view the content of an encrypted dataset, you must provide an encryption key that you set while encrypting the dataset column.
As a Viewer, when you try to access the Datasets page, an error message is displayed because you do not have the permission to view this page.
