- Prerequisites to running tests
  Before you can configure and run a test in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must read the information about the different tests. You might want to add a remote static agent or a remote Docker host to the project as an alternate location to run the tests.
- Agents overview
  You can find information about the agents that you must install on remote computers and configure the agents with the offline user token so that the agents register with HCL OneTest™ Server. After the agents are registered, you can add them to your projects and then select them as locations to run tests.
- Managing Docker hosts
  You can set up dedicated external Docker hosts to run large tests or run tests remotely to free up the dependency of running tests on the default cluster of HCL OneTest™ Server.
- Test run configurations
  You can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server after you add the test resources to your project.
- Management of running tests
  Find information about the tasks that you can perform on a test that you configured for a run either while it runs or after it completes the run.
- Management of virtualized services
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on and manage the virtualized services that run on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can start or stop the stubs connected to HCL OneTest Server. You can view the stub usage statistics and the routing rules configured for the stubs, agents, or proxies that are connected to HCL OneTest Server.

    - Prerequisites for running HTTP stubs
      You can find information about the tasks that you must complete before you run HTTP stubs on HCL OneTest™ Server.
    - Prerequisites for running Istio stubs that virtualize services in HCL OneTest™ Server
      You can find information about the tasks that you must complete before you run Istio stubs that virtualize services in HCL OneTest™ Server.
    - Setting up the HTTP proxy
      When you want to run stubs on HCL OneTest™ Server, you can set up an HTTP proxy to route requests to the stubs. You must configure the HTTP proxy with the HCL OneTest Server URL and offline user token generated from HCL OneTest Server so that the HTTP proxy can register with HCL OneTest Server.
  - Starting a stub
    When you have stubs in the API test assets, you can start the stubs contained in the API test assets from the Execution page in HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Working with HTTP stubs without using proxies
    When you run the HTTP stubs on HCL OneTest™ Server, the endpoint on which the stub is exposed externally uses a host name that includes a generated ID. If a client application is required to call the stub directly via its external host name and not via the HTTP proxy, then you might want to determine the host name to configure the client first before you start the stub.
  - Viewing routing rules
    When stubs are created to run on agents or proxies, or have routing rules defined, and you run such stubs on HCL OneTest™ Server, you can view the agents, proxies, or the routing rules from the Routing Rules page.
  - Viewing stub usage statistics
    After you start stubs that are connected to HCL OneTest™ Server, and then run tests on the stub, you can view the stub usage statistics from the Stub Usage page on HCL OneTest Server.
  - Stopping a stub
    When you want to stop a stub that is running in HCL OneTest™ Server, you can stop the running stub from the Progress page. You must stop a running stub after you have completed running tests that are used by the stub.
- Test results
  After the tests or schedules are run and completed, you can view the results and reports in HCL OneTest™ Server to analyze the verdict, the performance, and statistics. You can also re-execute tests and schedules from the Result page with the same commit id.
- Resource Monitoring service
  When you apply load to a system under test, the amount of resources consumed by your system is increasing. If the capacity of the resources does not match the load, you can see performance issues in the results. The Resource Monitoring service in HCL OneTest™ Server helps you monitoring the resources of a system and establish the performance metrics of the system. Thus, you can observe the health of these resources while a schedule is running.
- Integration with Jira as a defect management system
  You can integrate Jira as a defect management system with your project on HCL OneTest™ Server to create defects for the tests that are available in the project after the test run is complete.
- Integrating with other applications
  You can integrate certain applications with HCL OneTest™ Server to run tests, view the test results, and create defects.
- Managing access to the server
  Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.

Setting up the HTTP proxy

When you want to run stubs on HCL OneTest™ Server, you can set up an HTTP proxy to route requests to the stubs. You must configure the HTTP proxy with the HCL OneTest™ Server URL and offline user token generated from HCL OneTest™ Server so that the HTTP proxy can register with HCL OneTest™ Server.

Before you begin

Before you set up the HTTP proxy, you must ensure that you have installed the proxy component from HCL Quality Server V10.1.1 or later.

About this task

When you create stubs in HCL OneTest™ API, you must configure the HTTP proxy in the Client tab for the HTTP transport. You must also edit the registration.xml file that is located in the <QS_install_directory>\httptcp directory for the following attributes:

server base-url
security-token

You must enter the HCL OneTest™ Server URL and offline user token as the values for the attributes. After you restart the proxy, the HTTP proxy registers with HCL OneTest™ Server. When you start the stubs from the Execution page, routing rules are applied to the HTTP proxy such that the requests that satisfy the rules are routed to the stubs.

Procedure

Perform the following steps in HCL OneTest™ Server:
1. Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server.
2. Generate the offline user token.
3. Copy the offline user token to a text file.
Perform the following steps to edit the registration.xml file that is located in the <QS_install_directory>\httptcp directory:
1. Use a text editor to open the registration.xml file.
2. Enter the HCL OneTest™ Server URL and offline user token generated from HCL OneTest™ Server in the following setting:
  
  <server base-url="<HCL OneTest™ Server_URL>" security-token="<Offline_User_Token>" />
3. Save and close the file.
4. Restart the HTTP proxy.
Perform the following steps in HCL OneTest™ Server:
1. Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server.
2. Open your project.
3. Click Infrastructure.
The HTTP proxies that you configured with your offline user token are displayed.

Results

You have successfully configured the HTTP proxy.

What to do next

You can check for the prerequisite tasks that you must complete before you can run the HTTP stubs. See Prerequisites for running HTTP stubs.
