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. 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.
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.
Schema fabrication
A schema is a graphical structure to represent different types of data. You can fabricate a schema for the generation of test data.
Schema generation
When you want to generate the test data in any external resource, you must generate the schema by using that specific resource.

- Test authoring
  You can use HCL OneTest™ Server to author tests instead of creating the tests by using the desktop products.
- 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.
- Generation of test data

  - Schema fabrication
    A schema is a graphical structure to represent different types of data. You can fabricate a schema for the generation of test data.
    - Schema import
      HCL® OneTest™ Data requires a schema to generate the test data. If you have a schema in your local file system, then you can import the same schema into your project.
    - Schema generation
      When you want to generate the test data in any external resource, you must generate the schema by using that specific resource.
    - Schema creation
      When you do not have an existing schema or you do not want to generate a schema in any database, then you can create a schema by using HCL® OneTest™ Data.
    - Schema management
      In a schema you can perform certain tasks such as editing and deleting of a schema. You can also split a schema view.
  - Schema design overview
    When you compose a schema by using HCL® OneTest™ Data you must define the types of the schema. You can also modify the types of the schema when you import any schema from local file system or use the schema generated by using any external resource.
  - Test data generation from structured schemas
    When you want to test your application by using randomly generated test data, then you must generate the test data from the structured schemas.
  - Status of generated test data
    You can view the status of all the test data generated jobs and Data Definition Language (DDL) statements generated jobs performed in your project, on the Jobs page.
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
This guide describes conceptual information about data design environment components when you want to use the data fabrication feature in HCL OneTest™ Server.
Troubleshooting
This guide describes how to analyze and resolve some of the common problems that you might encounter while you work with HCL OneTest™ Server.

Schema generation

When you want to generate the test data in any external resource, you must generate the schema by using that specific resource.

To generate the schema, you must establish a connection between HCL® OneTest™ Data and the external resource.

HCL® OneTest™ Data supports the establishment of connections with the following external resources:

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing (SAP)
MongoDB
Excel

Note: After you generate schema by using any external resource, you can perform all the following tasks to the generated schema in HCL® OneTest™ Data:

Defining types
Setting type properties
Setting restrictions
Applying functions

The following topics show how HCL® OneTest™ Data connects with an external resource and generates the test data.
