System Requirements
This document includes information about hardware and software requirements for HCL OneTest™ Server.
Getting Started Guide
This guide provides an overview of HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find the task flows to get you started with HCL OneTest Server. This guide is intended for new users.
Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install HCL OneTest™ Server software.
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.
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.

- Files
  You add a file to a project to use it as input in the project. You can upload a file from your local file system to a project from the Files tab to generate test data. Alternatively, you can upload it when you define an action.
- Connections
  A connection defines the properties that are required to connect to an external resource. An action uses a connection to provide source data to a project or write data from a source to a target. Multiple actions can use the same connection. You can define both connections and actions at the project level.
- Schema design
  A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
  - Introduction to schema design
    Use the Schemas tab to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
  - Type properties
    The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
  - Item restrictions
    Item restrictions are an optional feature you can use to specify valid or invalid data objects for an item type. Item restrictions are grouped into three categories: Value, Character, and Range.
  - Components
  - Partitioning
  - Type inheritance
  - Schema analyzer
  - Distinguishable objects
  - Functions and expressions

BINDABS

Use this function in a component rule for the implementation of binding and iterative evaluation. The implementation of binding ensures that when there are multiple references to a component in a rule, all references are to the same instance of that component. The implementation of iterative evaluation ensures that the rule is evaluated using all possible combinations of type references.

Do not use this function unless you have a clear understanding of the behavior.

Syntax:: BINDABS (Boolean_expression)
Meaning:: BINDABS (component rule)
Returns:: A Boolean "true" or "false"

Note: It is not necessary to use the BINDABS function for iterative behavior with the following functions because these functions already iterate: COUNT, COUNTABS, INDEX, MEMBER, MAX, MIN, SUM, and SERIESTOTEXT.

How it works

When the evaluation starts and the BINDABS function is encountered at the beginning of the component rule, binding is enforced and the rule is iterated across all valid combinations of objects specified in the rule.

BINDABS must be positioned first in the component rule and the entire component rule must be enclosed. Any other use of this function will have no effect.

When using BINDABS, the evaluation order is the same as mapping. Rules that contain both a normal instance and a last instance for the first instance of the type are not evaluated.

Example

BINDABS (Qty:LineItem:Order * Price:LineItem:Order = ExtendedPrice:LineItem:Order)

As a result of binding, the Qty, Price, and ExtendedPrice elements in this example are all in the same LineItem of the same Order. As a result of iteration, all line items of all orders are checked.
