  - Test run considerations for schedules
    Before you configure a Rate Schedule or VU Schedule run, you must read the considerations you must take into account.
- 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 internal Docker host 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 and manage on 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.
- 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.
- Integrating with other applications
  You can integrate certain applications with HCL OneTest™ Server to run tests and view the test results.
- Managing access to the server
  Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.
