- System modeling
  You can use the system model feature on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to create a model that simulates an application or system under test. You can define components to represent the actual components in the system under test, define their relationships and then view the components in a system under test as a diagrammatic representation.
- Prerequisites to running tests
  Before you can run a test asset in a project on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), you must read the information about the different tests assets. You can add a remote static agent, Docker host, or Kubernetes cluster to the project and then select it as an alternate location to run the test assets.
- Management of agents
  You can find information about managing performance agents or API agents that you install on remote computers and then configure the remote agents to register with HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). After the agents are registered, you can add them to your projects and then select them as locations to run tests or virtual services.
- Management of Docker hosts
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Docker hosts. After you set up a remote Docker host, you can register the Docker host with HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You must then add the registered remote Docker host to your project before you can run tests on the remote Docker host location.
- Management of remote Kubernetes clusters
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Kubernetes clusters. After you set up a remote Kubernetes cluster, you can register the external cluster with a team space on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You must then add the remote cluster to a project before you run test assets or resources on the remote Kubernetes cluster.
- Management of mobile device cloud credentials
  You can find information about managing the credentials that are required to connect to mobile device clouds from HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
- Test run configurations
  You can configure and run tests in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) after you add the test resources to your project in your team space.
- Configuration of test runs in a GitHub Actions Workflow
  You can configure test runs of test resources that are in a project repository of HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) in a GitHub Actions Workflow. You can choose to run test resources that are in your server project in the GitHub Workflow when you do not want to run the test resources without opening the Test Hub project.
- Configuration of a scan of an application code
  You can use HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to scan your application code for security vulnerabilities similar to using the HCL® AppScan CodeSweep plugin to scan code in Visual Studio.
- Management of running tests
  Find information about the tasks that you can perform on a test that you configured for a run either while it runs or after it completes the run.
- Management of virtualized services
  You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on and manage the virtualized services that run on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You can start or stop the virtual services that are available to Test Hub. You can view the routing rules and usage statistics of virtualized services, agents, or intercepts that are connected to Test Hub.
- Test results
  After the tests, Suites, or schedules are run and completed, you can view the results and open the reports in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to analyze the verdict, the performance, and statistics. You can also re-execute tests and schedules from the Results page with the same commit id.
- Machine learning capabilities in DevOps Test Hub
  HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) uses Machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze tests that match certain requirements and criteria, and then presents the findings as insights and recommendations after the tests are run. You can use the insights and recommendations to interpret the test results and identify the problem areas in the system under test.
- Resource monitoring
  When you apply load to a system under test, the amount of resources consumed by your system is increasing. If the capacity of the resources does not match the load, you can see performance issues in the results. Resource monitoring in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) helps you monitoring the resources of a system and establish the performance metrics and usage data of the system. Thus, you can observe the health of these resources while a schedule is running.
- Configuration of a change management system
  When you use any application to create and track defects (bugs), issues, or other work items, you can configure the application as a change management system on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You can then create defects (bugs), issues, or other work items without the need to open your application.
- Integrations with other applications
  You can integrate certain applications with HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to run tests, view the test results, and create defects.
- Managing access to DevOps Test Hub
  Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
- Working with DevOps Test Hub REST services
  When you want to use the HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) REST APIs in your test automation scripts, you can view the REST APIs that are exposed by Test Hub. You can also run the APIs from within your project in Test Hub.
Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
Troubleshooting
This guide describes how to analyze and resolve some of the common problems that you might encounter while you work with HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).

Managing access to DevOps Test Hub

Desktop clients and third-party integrations use offline user tokens to connect to HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).

You can configure the desktop clients and third-party integrations to access Test Hub by using the offline user tokens created from the server.

Offline user tokens are used in the following cases:

To retrieve secrets configured on the server to be used in certain tests in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).
To enable publishing of test results and reports from desktop products that include Test Integrations and APIs, HCL DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance), or HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) to Test Hub.
To enable the Resource Monitoring Service in Test Performance to monitor a data source during a run on Test Hub.
To enable agents to connect with Test Hub.
To enable HTTP proxies to connect with Test Hub.
To enable third-party integrations.

About this task

From Test Hub, you can create an offline user token, copy it, and then use that token to enable connections to be authenticated by Test Hub.

You can also delete all the tokens, when you no longer need access or you want to prevent access to the server.

Procedure

Creating a token

Follow these steps:

Click the User icon from the menu bar, and then select Create Token.

The Create Offline User Token dialog is displayed.

Note: This token is not accessible after you copy it as the dialog box closes.
Copy the token and paste it into a private location for ongoing reference.

The dialog closes.

Paste the token into the UI of the desktop product or in the application where this token is required.

See the following table for a list of where you can use the tokens and where you can find more information.

Table 1. Using the offline user tokens to access Test Hub
Use the offline user token in the following places	More information

Test Performance	See .Publishing test results to the server. See Enablement of Resource Monitoring services for a schedule..
Test UI	See .Publishing test results to the server.
Third-party integrations	See Integrations with other applications.

Deleting tokens

Follow these steps:
1. Click the User icon from the menu bar and select Delete Tokens.
  
  The Delete All Offline User Tokens dialog is displayed.
2. Inform the desktop client users that the tokens were deleted. Fix any test automation scripts that used tokens.
