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.
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 import
HCL OneTest™ Data requires a schema to generate the test data. If you have a schema in your local file system, then you can import the same schema into your project.
Importing XSD or JSON files
When you have an XSD or a JSON format file in your local file system, you can import the same files from the local file system into your HCL OneTest™ Data project.

- 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.

    - Schema generation
      When you want to generate the test data in any external resource, you must generate the schema by using that specific resource.
    - Schema creation
      When you do not have an existing schema or you do not want to generate a schema in any database, then you can create a schema by using HCL OneTest™ Data.
    - Schema management
      In a schema you can perform certain tasks such as editing and deleting of a schema. You can also split a schema view.
  - 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.
  - 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.

Importing XSD or JSON files from the local file system

When you have an XSD or a JSON format file in your local file system, you can import the same files from the local file system into your HCL OneTest™ Data project.

Before you begin

You must have created a project.
You must have an XSD or a JSON format file in your local file system.

About this task

XSD or JSON files are in schema format. To create a schema, you can import an existing schema that is in the XSD or JSON format from your local file system.

Restriction: You cannot modify all the properties of the types in an XSD or a JSON schema.

The following table shows the list of properties supported by JSON or XSD schema:

Properties	JSON schema	XSD schema
JavaScript rules	Yes	No
Regular expression	Yes	No
Restrictions	No	No
Default values	No	No

Procedure

Select your project in HCL OneTest™ Server and go to the Data Fabrication page.
Click the Schemas tab.
Click XSD/JSON from the Schemas menu.
The Import XSD/JSON dialog box is displayed.
Select the JSON or XSD file that you want to import.
Provide a schema name with a brief description and keywords as Tags.
Click OK and save the changes.

Results

You have successfully imported XSD or JSON files from the local file system.

What to do next

You must define the types in the schema. See Defining Types.

You can also perform the following actions:

View the imported file listed under the Schemas tab.
Use the Search field to search for any schema from the existing schemas.
Sort the list of schemas by name, folder, and recently used schemas.
