Configuring a test for a quick run

You can configure any type of test to be run on HCL OneTest™ Server when you want to quickly ensure that the test runs correctly. You might not want to set the different options for the test nor want to schedule the run.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Read and completed the tasks mentioned in Prerequisites to running tests if they apply to the test you want to configure for a run.
Ensured that you are assigned a role as a Member or Project Creator in the team space. See Managing members and their roles in a team space.
Ensured that you are assigned a role as a Project Owner or Tester in the project. See Managing access to server projects.

Procedure

Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server.

The team space that contains your project is displayed.
Open the project that contains the test assets, and then click Execution.

Select the branch of the repository that contains the test assets.

The test assets that are contained in the selected branch of the repository are displayed in the following tabs on the Execution page:


Tab	Description
SUITES	Lists all Suites, compound tests, Rate Schedules, or VU Schedules that are in the selected branch of the repository.
TESTS	Lists all API tests, functional tests, and performance tests that are in the selected branch of the repository.
ADVANCED	Lists all assets that are displayed when custom filters are applied for assets in the selected branch of the repository.

Click the Execute icon in the row of the identified test asset.
The Execute test asset dialog is displayed.
Notes:
- If you have configured some or all of the settings for the current test run, and you do not want to continue with those settings, you can reset the settings by clicking Reset.
- If you want to repeat a test run and do not want to use the saved settings from a previous run, you can reset all the saved settings to their default values by clicking Reset.
Select the version of the test resources that you want to run, if you want to run a different version other than the latest version.
No action is required if you want to initiate the test run immediately after you click Execute.
Enter a label for the test run that helps you to identify the test on the Results page.

After the test run completes, the label that you entered is displayed for the test under the Labels column on the Results page.
Click Execute.
The test run is initiated.
