Welcome
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.
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 data generation from structured schemas
When you want to test your application by using randomly generated test data, then you must generate the test data from the structured schemas.
Generated test data for SAP IDoc or DXOB
When you want to generate the test data for an SAP Intermediate Document (IDoc) or Data Transfer Object (DXOB) file, you can generate a schema in HCL OneTest™ Data by using the structured schema of the SAP IDoc or DXOB file. You can then generate the test data by using the generated schema in HCL OneTest Data.
Schema generation for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file
When you want to generate the test data for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file, then you must generate a schema for the selected SAP IDoc or DXOB file.
Establishing an SAP IDoc or DXOB interface connection with HCL OneTest Data
When you want to generate a schema for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file, you must establish a connection with the SAP IDoc or DXOB interface.

- 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.
- 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.
  - Schema fabrication
    A schema is a graphical structure to represent different types of data. You can fabricate a schema for the generation of test data.
  - Schema design overview
    When you compose a schema by using HCL OneTest™ Data you must define the types of the schema. You can also modify the types of the schema when you import any schema from local file system or use the schema generated by using any external resource.
  - Test data generation from structured schemas
    When you want to test your application by using randomly generated test data, then you must generate the test data from the structured schemas.
    - Generated test data in JDBC database
      When you want the generated test data in any Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) supported database, you can generate the test data by using HCL OneTest™ Data. Subsequently, HCL OneTest Data inserts the generated test data directly in the configured JDBC supported database.
    - Generated test data for SAP IDoc or DXOB
      When you want to generate the test data for an SAP Intermediate Document (IDoc) or Data Transfer Object (DXOB) file, you can generate a schema in HCL OneTest™ Data by using the structured schema of the SAP IDoc or DXOB file. You can then generate the test data by using the generated schema in HCL OneTest Data.
      - Schema generation for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file
        When you want to generate the test data for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file, then you must generate a schema for the selected SAP IDoc or DXOB file.
        Importing an SAP IDoc or DXOB file
        When you want to establish a connection with an SAP IDoc or DXOB interface, you must import the SAP IDoc or DXOB file into your HCL OneTest™ Data project from your local file system.
        Establishing an SAP IDoc or DXOB interface connection with HCL OneTest Data
        When you want to generate a schema for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file, you must establish a connection with the SAP IDoc or DXOB interface.
        Generating schema by using an SAP IDoc or DXOB file
        When you want to generate the test data for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file, then you must generate a schema for the selected SAP IDoc or DXOB file.
    - Generated test data for SAP BAPI
      When you want to generate test data for SAP Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI), you can generate a schema in HCL OneTest™ Data based on structured schema of SAP BAPI function modules. You can then generate the test data by using the generated schema in HCL OneTest Data.
    - Generated test data in MongoDB
      When you use MongoDB as a database in your application testing environment and you want the generated test data in MongoDB, then you can generate the test data by using HCL OneTest™ Data. Subsequently, HCL OneTest Data inserts the generated test data directly in MongoDB.
    - Generated test data for an Excel file
      When you use Microsoft Excel as a database in your application testing environment and you want to use the structure of an Excel file to generate test data, then you can generate the test data for the selected Excel file by using HCL OneTest Data.
    - Generating test data
      When you have a defined and structured schema for the entire data, you can generate test data to perform application testing.
  - Status of generated test data
    You can view the status of all the test data generated jobs performed in your project, on the Jobs page.

Establishing an SAP IDoc or DXOB interface connection with HCL OneTest Data

When you want to generate a schema for an SAP IDoc or DXOB file, you must establish a connection with the SAP IDoc or DXOB interface.

Before you begin

You must have imported the SAP IDoc or DXOB file into your project.

Procedure

Select your project in HCL OneTest™ Server and navigate to the Data Fabrication page.
Click Connections.
Click New to create a new connection type.

The New Connection dialog box is displayed.
Select SAP IDoc from the Type drop-down list, and then click Next.
Set the following properties under Connection Properties:
- Enable Bypass Client Connection.
- Select 2 (Unicode) as Bytes Per Character.
Click Next, and then provide a name to the established connection.
Click OK.

You can see the name of the SAP IDoc connection under the Connections tab.

Results

You have successfully established the connection between HCL OneTest™ Data and the SAP IDoc or DXOB interface.

What to do next

You must generate a schema in HCL OneTest Data by using the SAP IDoc or DXOB file. See Generating schema by using an SAP IDoc or DXOB file.
