Welcome
Test Author Guide
This guide describes how to create and edit test assets in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), and then publish test assets to the remote Git repository that you have configured in your project. This guide is intended for testers and test managers.
Test variables
A test variable is a user-defined, name-value pair that stores and refers to information throughout a test. You can assign the value of a variable to a test element or assign the value of a UI object property to a test variable.
Creating a dataset by using test variables
When you want to create a dataset by using variables that are configured in a test or a suite, you can do so in Test Editor. In the dataset, each variable gets displayed as a column, and you can update it by adding values to the columns.

- 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 created from the selected branch in the repository configured within the project, where you can save the created or edited resource.
- Test Editor overview
  You can use the Test Editor tab to create and manage test assets such as applications, Web UI tests, and test suites in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub).
- Application management
  When you want to create and manage Web UI tests in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), you must first create an application within the project.
- Web UI test management
  You can test your web applications by recording Web UI tests in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). Test Hub supports industry-standard browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox to record and play back Web UI tests. After the playback, you can evaluate the test results.
- Test suite management
  A suite is a collection of the tests and other suites. You can combine the multiple tests and suites into a single workflow and organize them into a suite.
- Test variables
  A test variable is a user-defined, name-value pair that stores and refers to information throughout a test. You can assign the value of a variable to a test element or assign the value of a UI object property to a test variable.
  - Creating and assigning test variables
    You can create a variable and initialize it to an alphanumeric value. Then, within the test, you can assign the value of the variable to a test element.
  - Assigning an object property to a test variable
    You can use the value of a UI object property and assign the value to a test variable in the Web UI tests. The process of assigning a variable to an object property is called a variable assignment.
  - Assigning test variable values from a dataset by using the Assign step
    You can assign values from a dataset to test variables by using the Assign step. This supports dynamic data substitution during test execution, allowing subsequent steps to use unique and data-driven values.
  - Assigning test variable values from a dataset by using the Run step
    You can assign values from a dataset to test variables by using the Run step. This supports dynamic data substitution during test execution, allowing subsequent steps to use unique and data-driven values.
  - Configuring test variables in the Run step of a test or suite
    You can configure input and output variables in a Run step to pass values into and out of a test during test run.
  - Creating a dataset by using test variables
    When you want to create a dataset by using variables that are configured in a test or a suite, you can do so in Test Editor. In the dataset, each variable gets displayed as a column, and you can update it by adding values to the columns.
- Catalog management
  You can use the data catalog in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to browse and manage data generators used in test data creation. The catalog section provides access to built-in generators, allows you to create custom generators tailored to specific needs, and group them using custom categories.
- Data management
  Effective data management is at the core of robust application testing. In HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), you can manage test data by using the Data tab, which provides a centralized workspace for handling various types of data. Whether you work with fabricated data, retrieve information from databases, or define structured schemas, this interface supports both creating new data and reusing existing assets across your testing requirements.
- Publishing all changes in an Edit branch
  After you create or modify any data or test assets in an Edit branch of a project in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), you can publish all the changes that are in an Edit branch to the source branch in the project repository. After publishing, other members in the project can view and use the resources.

Creating a dataset by using test variables

When you want to create a dataset by using variables that are configured in a test or a suite, you can do so in Test Editor. In the dataset, each variable gets displayed as a column, and you can update it by adding values to the columns.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Ensured that you are assigned a Team Space Owner, Project Owner, or Member with a Tester role to create or edit a test resource.
Read and understood the information in Edit branch overview and Create or select an Edit branch.
Ensured that your project contains a Web UI test.

Opened the test in Test Editor. See Editing a Web UI test.

Procedure

Click the button displayed on the Test Editor page.

The Edit button appears only when no active edit branch is selected.

Alternatively, right-click the test in the test navigator panel and select Edit.

The Edit branch dialog is displayed.

If the Edit branch dialog is not displayed, then go to step 3.
Select an existing branch or create a new branch.
Click the Configure settings and data step in Test Editor.
The Configure settings and data pane is displayed. If the test contains the configured variables, then they are listed under the Data section.
Click + Create Dataset in the Data section.
The Create dataset dialog is displayed.
Perform the following steps in the Create dataset dialog:
1. Select an application for which you want to create a dataset from the Application drop-down list.
2. Select an existing folder in Location to save the new dataset.
3. Enter a name for the dataset in Name.
Click Next.
All the variables available in the test are listed with a checkbox, and only the Input variables are selected.
Select the variables to be part of the dataset.
Click Create.
A success message is displayed. The dataset created is listed under the logical folder Datasets within the selected application.

Results

You have created a dataset by using the variables configured in a test.

What to do next

You can view the dataset and add values to it. See Editing a dataset.
