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.
- 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, test suites, and environments 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.
  - Creating a suite
    You can create a suite within your project in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You can add multiple tests and suites into a single suite for a test run.
  - Modifying a suite
    You can modify the existing suite within your project in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) by adding, removing, or rearranging the tests and suites in a suite.
  - Running a suite sequentially
    When you want tests to run one after the other, you can run a suite sequentially that maintains the correct order and accuracy of the test results.
  - Running a suite concurrently
    You can run a suite to run multiple tests and other suites in parallel to expedite the testing process.
  - Running multiple suites or tests by using the wildcard pattern
    When you want to enable a single suite to run multiple tests and suites based on their name, you can use a Run step to refer to tests and suites by using wildcard patterns. You can also use these patterns to specify the suites that must be excluded.
  - Running suites on multiple browsers and devices
    You can now configure a test suite to run across multiple web browsers and supported devices in one consolidated run. Instead of managing separate test runs for each browser and device, you can define all of your target browsers and devices within the configuration of the test suite. This simplifies cross-browser validation, saves time, and provides comprehensive report.
  - Accessing the console output
    When you run suites, you can access the console output that provides information such as error messages, logs, and the test verdict. You can then use this output to troubleshoot issues by reviewing details, such as session IDs and error messages.
  - Stopping test runs within a suite
    You can stop the tests that run within a suite when issues occur or if you decide to stop the run before completion.
  - Rerunning failed tests in a suite
    When you run tests in a suite, a few tests might fail. You can rerun the failed tests instead of rerunning the suite.
  - Deleting a suite
    You can delete a suite when it is no longer required in your project.
- 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.
- Test environments
  You can define custom environments to manage sets of variables like application URLs and user credentials. When you run a test, the variables defined in the environment dynamically replace the values within your test script. The environment-level variables take precedence over the variables defined in the script. You can easily change testing targets without changing your test script by using environments.
- 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.

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.

As part of the test suite management, you can create, edit, run, and delete the suites. When you create a suite, a .dts.yaml file is created and listed under the Suites folder in the test navigator panel.

You can run the suite either sequentially or in parallel. In a sequential run, the tests and suites within the suite are run sequentially, one after the other. In a parallel run, the tests and suites within the suite are run concurrently.

When you run a suite, each child test within the suite generates an individual result. You can open the test from the suite by right-clicking the test and selecting Open, and the results of the child test are displayed in the Results tab along with the details of the suite that includes this test.

You can rerun the failed tests and suites instead of rerunning the suite. When you run the test suite, you can access the console output to troubleshoot the issues.
