Test Execution Specialist guide
This guide, which is intended for a tester or a test execution specialist, describes tasks that you must complete before you can configure and run tests on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find information about other tasks that you can perform on the Resource Monitoring Service, Virtualization, and Integrations with third-party applications.
- 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.
- 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.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugin that are compatible with HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous development of your application, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, in Azure DevOps pipelines by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    When you integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jenkins, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest Server from a Jenkins server by using the HCL OneTest Server Jenkins plugin.
    - Task flow for integrating Jenkins
      The table shows the task flow for integrating HCL OneTest™ Server with Jenkins by using the HCL OneTest Server Jenkins plugin. You must perform these tasks in sequence as listed in the following table. The table also provides you the links to the information about the tasks.
    - Installing the HCL OneTest™ Server Jenkins Plugin
      You must install the latest version of the HCL OneTest™ Server plugin on the Jenkins server before you can use the plugin for running tests that are available in your HCL OneTest Server project on the Jenkins server.
    - Running tests on the Jenkins server
      After you install the HCL OneTest™ Server Jenkins plugin on the Jenkins server, you can run tests that are available in your HCL OneTest Server project on the Jenkins server.
  - Integration with UrbanCode Deploy
    When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server from UCD by using the HCL OneTest Server UCD plugin.
  - Integration with other applications
    You can integrate certain applications with HCL OneTest™ Data to generate the test data.
- Managing access to the server
  Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL OneTest™ Server.
Test Manager guide

Integration with Jenkins

When you integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jenkins, you can run tests created for your application and available in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server from a Jenkins server by using the HCL OneTest™ Server Jenkins plugin.

Prerequisites

You must have installed Jenkins on your computer. For more information about installing Jenkins, refer to Installing Jenkins.

You can then run the following command to start the Jenkins server to support UTF-8 character sets:

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar jenkins.war

Overview

You can use the HCL OneTest™ Server Jenkins plugin to integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jenkins.

You must have created the tests in the desktop clients and committed the test assets and test resources to a remote repository. The remote repository must be added to the project.

Depending on the type of tests you want to perform on your application, you must have created any or all of the following types of tests in the desktop clients for the application you are testing:


Type of test	Desktop client
Accelerated Functional Testing suites Compound tests	HCL OneTest™ UI
Test Suite	HCL OneTest™ API
Compound tests VU Schedule Rate Schedule	HCL OneTest™ Performance

You can now follow the tasks listed in the task flow table to integrate HCL OneTest™ Server with Jenkins. See Task flow for integrating Jenkins.
