- System modeling
  In this topic, you can find information about using the system model feature. You can also find the tasks that you can perform to create a system model. You must configure a repository to save the system model that you created for the application under test.
  - Task flows for working with a system model
    You can find information about the tasks that you can perform when you want to create a system model, create components, associate the components, create linkages among the components, and then publish the system model to the team space repository. Also, you can find information about the tasks that you must perform when you want to modify an existing system model.
  - Adding a repository to a team space
    You must add a repository to the team space when you want to create, modify, or store a system model.
  - Creating a system model
    Before you can create components in a system model, you must create an empty system model and publish the system model to the team space repository.
  - Creating components
    The first step in building a system model is to create components. The components serve as the building blocks for the system model.
  - Creating child components
    You can create components as children of existing components in the system model.
  - Creating linkages between components
    You can create linkages between components that display the relationship between them. The linkages can be between components or between child components of the same or different parent components.
  - Deleting linkages between components
    When you do not want to retain the linkages between components that you created in the system model, you can delete the linkages.
  - Modifying components
    At any point in time, after you create a component, you can modify and update the details of the components such as the component type, and the relationships with other components.
  - Deleting components
    When you do not require a component, you can delete the component.
  - Publishing changes to the system model
    When you create, delete, or modify components in a system model, the changes are saved locally and are not visible to the other project members or team space members. You must publish the system model changes to the team space repository to make your changes visible for all users of the team space.
  - Associating resources with components
    After creating components in the system model, you can navigate to a project in the team space to associate the Suites and Tests or virtual services resources in the project repositories with the components in the system model.
  - Viewing resources associated with components
    After you associate Suites and Tests or virtual services resources with components in the system model, you can view the associated resources from the System Model page. You can opt to start an instance of the associated resource or stop a running instance of the associated resource.
  - Removing resources associated with components
    When you do not want to retain the resource that you associated with a component, you can delete the resource in the system model.
  - Publishing changes of associating resources with components
    After you associate resources in a project with a component in the system model, you must publish the changes made to the branch in the project repository, if you want the associations to be visible to the other members in the project.
  - Viewing the system model
    You can view an existing system model or you can create a system model if a system model does not exist on the System Model page.
  - Deleting a system model
    When you want to remove an existing system model to create a new system model, you can delete the existing system model.
  - Deleting a repository that is added to a team space
    You can delete a repository that you added to the team space when you do not want to use a team space repository.
- 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 find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Docker hosts. After you set up a remote Docker host, you can register the Docker host with HCL OneTest™ Server. You must add the registered remote Docker host to your project before you can run tests on the remote Docker host location.
- 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 virtual services that are connected to HCL OneTest Server. You can view the routing rules and usage statistics of virtualized services, agents, or intercepts that are connected to HCL OneTest Server.
- 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.
- Configuration of a change management system
  When you use any application to create and track defects (bugs), issues, or other work items, you can configure the application as a change management system on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can then create defects (bugs), issues, or other work items without the need to open your application.
- 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.
