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.
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.
Creating a dataset
You can create datasets in HCL OneTest™ Server to replace the existing dataset values with new dataset values during a test or schedule run.

- 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.
  - Creating a dataset
    You can create datasets in HCL OneTest™ Server to replace the existing dataset values with new dataset values during a test or schedule run.
  - Editing a dataset
    You can add, modify, remove, import, or export data from a dataset by using the CSV Editor. The working principle of the CSV Editor is similar to that of a spreadsheet.
  - Publishing a dataset
    When you create or edit any datasets in HCL OneTest™ Server, you can publish your changes to the Git repository. Therefore, when you publish a dataset, other members in the project can use your dataset in their test assets run, if required.
  - Viewing a dataset
    When test assets includes datasets, you can view the contents of a dataset from HCL OneTest™ Server. The datasets residing in the Git repository are listed in the Datasets page.
  - Deleting a dataset
    You can delete the dataset when it is not required in your test environment.
- 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.
Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you must complete before you can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find information about configuring runs for the different test types that are supported. You can also find information about other tasks that you can perform on the Resource Monitoring Service, Virtualization, and Integrations with third-party applications. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
Reference Guide

Creating a dataset

You can create datasets in HCL OneTest™ Server to replace the existing dataset values with new dataset values during a test or schedule run.

Before you begin

You must be a member of the project with the Owner or Tester role and must have completed the following tasks:

Created a project in HCL OneTest™ Server. See Adding a project.
Configured the Git repository in your project. See Adding repositories to a server project.

About this task

When you create a dataset in HCL OneTest™ Server, it always creates 1 Row, 2 Column (1R X 2C) dataset. Later, you can edit the dataset by adding some rows and columns that you want, to add the data in it.

Procedure

Go to the HCL OneTest™ Server URL.
Enter your user name and password, and then click Login.
Open your project from the HCL OneTest™ Server UI.
Go to the Datasets page, and then click Create dataset.
Enter a name for the dataset in the Asset name field, and then select the place where you want to save the dataset in the Location drop-down list.
Click Create.
The new dataset opens in a CSV Editor in a web browser. The dataset created is listed on the Datasets page.

Results

You have created a dataset in your project.

What to do next

You can add, modify, or remove data in the dataset. See Editing a dataset.
You can publish the dataset to the Git repository so that other members of the project can use the dataset. See Publishing a dataset.
