Creating tests or virtual service resources

You can create tests or virtual service resources by using the test authoring capabilities of HCL OneTest™ Server. After you create and publish the test assets or resources to a branch in your project repository, you can run the tests or virtual service resources on HCL OneTest™ Server.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Procedure

  1. Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server.

    The team space that contains your project is displayed.

  2. Open the project, and then click Author > Tests.

    The existing test assets in the branch of the project repository are displayed if they exist.

    The details such as test design considerations, the load test profile, or other details that you entered as properties of the test asset in the desktop products are displayed in the Description column.

  3. Click Create test, and then select the type of test assets that you want to create.
    You can select any of the following types of tests:
    • API test
    • Functional test
    • Performance test
    After you select the type of test, the corresponding containerized product is displayed in a new browser tab. Refer to the following table for the types of tests or virtual services that you can create in the containerized product:

  5. Save and commit the test assets or virtual service resources to the Git repository that is configured in your project from the containerized product.
  6. Delete the containerized product session by closing the browser tab of the containerized product, and then click Delete session.

    The test assets that you created in the containerized product are displayed in the TESTS tab. The virtual services that you create are displayed on the Resources page.

  7. Click Author > Changes.
  8. Select the Git repository to which the test asset or resource was committed in the containerized product.
