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 the 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. You can also edit existing test assets that are in the repository added to your project. 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.

- 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

Bidirectional functions

Bidirectional languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are languages in which the text is presented to the user ordered from right to left, but numbers and Latin alphabetic strings within the text are presented left to right. In addition, the order in which characters appear within program variables can vary. The text is usually stored in logical order, the order in which the characters are entered in the input field. These differences in ordering and in other associated presentation characteristics require the program to have the ability to convert bidirectional text strings from one format to another.

Use the SETLOGICALORDER, SETVISUALORDER,SETORIENTATIONLTR, SETORIENTATIONRTL, SETTEXTSHAPING, and SETTEXTSHAPINGOFF functions for specific transformation needs when dealing with bidirectional data.

About the order of text

The order of text generally corresponds with way it is stored in memory or on disk. In general, the order of text is displayed, on the window for example, in visual order so that a person can read it the way it is subjectively meant to be read. That is, left-to-right characters are displayed from left-to-right, and right-to-left characters are displayed with the first character of the text block beginning from the right.

Storage in memory or on disk generally occurs in a logical manner so that the left-to-right characters are stored left-to-right (that is, one after another), and require no processing to display properly. However, when right-to-left characters are stored in a logical manner, they are also stored one after another from left-to-right. These text blocks, when in Logical order, are usually enclosed by markers that identify the start and end positions of the right-to-left text blocks.

Logical to visual reordering

To display these logical sequences on a window would require that any left-to-right text is simply read and displayed. When right-to-left text is encountered, it must be turned around to the appropriate direction. This is logical-to-visual reordering.

Examples

In the following example, lowercase characters are considered left-to-right (LTR) and uppercase characters are considered right-to-left (RTL).


Text=	`a`	`b`	`c`	`F`	`E`	`D`	`g`	`h`	`i`
Visual order	`0x61`	`0x62`	`0x63`	`0x46`	`0x45`	`0x44`	`0x67`	`0x68`	`0x69`
Logical order	`0x61`	`0x62`	`0x63`	`0x44`	`0x45`	`0x46`	`0x67`	`0x68`	`0x69`
