Welcome
Reference Guide
This guide describes conceptual information about data design environment components when you want to use the data fabrication feature in HCL OneTest™ Server.
Schema design
A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
Type properties
The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
Item properties
Text item subclass properties

After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration, user management, security, memory, and disk usage management, back up and restore user data. This guide is intended for administrators.
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.
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.

- Files
  You add a file to a project to use it as input in the project. You can upload a file from your local file system to a project from the Files tab to generate test data. Alternatively, you can upload it when you define an action.
- Connections
  A connection defines the properties that are required to connect to an external resource. An action uses a connection to provide source data to a project or write data from a source to a target. Multiple actions can use the same connection. You can define both connections and actions at the project level.
- Schema design
  A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
  - Introduction to schema design
    Use the Schemas tab to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
  - Type properties
    The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
  - Item restrictions
    Item restrictions are an optional feature you can use to specify valid or invalid data objects for an item type. Item restrictions are grouped into three categories: Value, Character, and Range.
  - Components
  - Partitioning
  - Type inheritance
  - Schema analyzer
  - Distinguishable objects
  - Functions and expressions

Size (content)

Each text or syntax object can be defined with the minimum and maximum sizes in bytes and/or characters. The product determines size for text or syntax objects according to the following rules.

When the size of an object is in bytes only, size and validation are calculated according to the size limitations set for bytes.
When the size of an object is in characters only, size and validation are calculated according to the size limitations set for characters.
When an object has size values defined for both bytes and characters, the object size is determined by characters (based on any character size limitations). Bytes are used to verify that the size of the data did not exceed any byte constraints that were set.

When the content size of a text or syntax item is specified in bytes, initiators, terminators, release characters, and pad characters are excluded from the count.

Min: The minimum size of the data object. You can enter values for bytes and/or characters.
The default value is 0. The largest value allowed is 65535.
Max: The maximum size of the data object. You can enter values for bytes and/or characters.; The default value is 0. The largest value allowed is 65535.; When there is no maximum content size limitation, this value is not required.
Note: If you delete the value in the Max Characters field, the maximum content size is set to zero.

During schema analysis, checks are performed on byte and/or character Min and Max values according to the following methods:

When values are present for both Min > Bytes and Min > Characters, the Min > Bytes value must be greater than or equal to Min Characters.
When values are present for both Max Bytes and Max Characters, Max Bytes must be greater than or equal to Max Characters.
When no size limitations are present, no verification takes place.

Remember:

Some character sets use two or more bytes per character.
The trace file and audit log lengths are reported in bytes.
