- Edit branch overview
  When you want to create or modify a test resource in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), you must use an Edit branch. An Edit branch is a temporary branch of the branch in the project repository into which you want to add the created resource or edited resource.
- Data overview
  When you want to create realistic test scenarios that can simulate real-world or practical situations, you can use the data fabrication feature in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to fabricate test data. You can also create or edit datasets that pass variable data to tests at test run time.
- Prerequisites for working with Datasets and Data definition
  You can find information about the tasks that you need to perform before you work with datasets and Data definitions in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
  - Management of classifications
    You can find information about creating, editing, deleting, and granting access to a classification in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
  - Management of database connections
    You can add a database connection to a project and import the data from an external database in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
    - Adding a database connection
      You can add a database connection to your project in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to import the data from an external database and create the test assets. You can restrict the project members from using this database connection by adding it to a Classification and providing permission only to the required members.
    - Adding a database connection to a classification
      You can add the database connection to a classification to grant access to the classification for other project members in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). After the access is provided, they can use the database connection to create the database query and import the data from the database.
    - Removing a database connection from a classification
      You can remove a database connection from a classification when you are no longer required to provide access to other members of your project.
    - Editing a database connection
      You can edit the database connection, when you want to change the database details that you added earlier or if you want to update the SSL certificate file.
    - Duplicating a database connection
      When you want create a similar database connection with different user credentials, to create the similar database connection and restrict or unrestricted it, or to create a similar database connection by encrypting the data exchanged between HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) and database, you can create a new database connection using an existing database connection.
    - Deleting a database connection
      You can delete the database connection from a project when it is no longer required.
  - Management of database query
    You can find information about creating, editing, duplicating, and deleting the database query in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
- Working with Datasets on DevOps Test Hub
  You can find information about creating datasets in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), applying a dataset classification, editing datasets, and managing datasets that are in your project repository.
- Data fabrication
  Test data is the core component of any application testing. It is very time-consuming to create test data manually. You can use the data fabrication feature in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to create realistic datasets for comprehensive testing scenarios. The feature provides data fabrication capabilities that can help you to generate synthetic data quickly and efficiently without the risk of data leaks or privacy issues.

Management of database connections

You can add a database connection to a project and import the data from an external database in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).

You can also restrict the database connection when you add it to a project and then add it to a classification to grant or restrict access for other members of the project. After you add a database connection you can create the database query that can be used to create test assets.

You can find the following information about adding the database connection and managing them in Test Hub:
