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.
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.
Usage of test data generation job
The generation of test data or Data Definition Language (DDL) statements for single or multiple schemas in HCL® OneTest™ Data is considered a job. You can view the list of all jobs on the Jobs page.
Configuring job settings
HCL® OneTest™ Data periodically deletes all the generated test data and the jobs of test data generation with API history to clear the memory. However, if you want to change the default number of days to retain the generated test data jobs in memory, you must configure the job settings.

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.
- Edit branch overview
  When you want to create or modify any test assets in HCL OneTest™ Server, you must use an Edit branch.
- 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
  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 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.
    - Usage of test data generation job
      The generation of test data or Data Definition Language (DDL) statements for single or multiple schemas in HCL® OneTest™ Data is considered a job. You can view the list of all jobs on the Jobs page.
      - Downloading jobs
        When you want to test any application by using the generated test data or to reuse the data of any specific schema definition for some other project, you can download the test data from the job into your local file system. You can also download the Structured Query Language (SQL) file from the job that includes the generated Data Definition Language (DDL) statements of multiple non-JDBC schemas.
      - Regenerating test data
        When you want to generate another set of test data by using an existing schema, then instead of defining a schema again, you can regenerate test data from the Jobs page.
      - Configuring job settings
        HCL® OneTest™ Data periodically deletes all the generated test data and the jobs of test data generation with API history to clear the memory. However, if you want to change the default number of days to retain the generated test data jobs in memory, you must configure the job settings.
    - Jobs management
      When you run a job to generate the test data, you can view the job details on the Jobs page. The Jobs page helps you to view and to manage the list of all the jobs that you execute.
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.

Configuring job settings

HCL® OneTest™ Data periodically deletes all the generated test data and the jobs of test data generation with API history to clear the memory. However, if you want to change the default number of days to retain the generated test data jobs in memory, you must configure the job settings.

Before you begin

You must have cluster-admin permissions.
You must have the IP address of the computer where HCL OneTest™ Server is installed.

About this task

As a default configuration, HCL® OneTest™ Data retains the jobs with their generated test data and API history for five days after the jobs are completed. All the jobs that are created before five days are deleted. If you want to retain the jobs with their generated data for more number of days in HCL® OneTest™ Data, then you must modify the value of the data_rotation_time property to the number of days you want to retain the jobs in the configmap file.

Note: If you modify the value of the data_rotation_time property to zero, then you can disable the deletion of generated test data jobs and API history.

Procedure

Log in to the SSH console of HCL OneTest Server.
Run the following command to edit the configuration file:

kubectl edit configmap -n test-system {my-ots}-data-config -o yaml
Search for the data_rotation_time property in the configuration file, and then set the value to the number of days you want the jobs to retain in the server.

Note: The default value of data_rotation_time is 5.

For example, if you want to retain the jobs for 10 days, set the value of data_rotation_time property as 10.
Save your changes, and then exit from the configuration file.
Run the following command to delete and restart the <onetest data> pod:

kubectl delete pod {my-ots}-data-app-0

Results

You have successfully configured the setting to retain the jobs with generated test data and API history in HCL® OneTest™ Data.
