    - Testing Java™ applications
      You can use HCL OneTest™ API to test Java™ applications.
    - Testing Java™ Message Service (JMS) systems
      Use the generic JMS plug-in to connect HCL OneTest™ API to a wide range of EAI platforms, which includes any vendor that provides an implementation of this Java™ standard. JMS provides a way of separating the application from the transport layer of providing data. The same Java classes can be used to communicate with different JMS providers by using the JNDI information for a specific provider. The classes first use a connection factory to connect to the queue or topic, and then use populate and send or publish the messages. On the receiving side, the clients then receive or subscribe to the messages
    - Testing Java™ objects
      You can import Plain Old Java™ Objects (POJOs) from JAR files into HCL OneTest™ API in order to parse and construct messages containing the serialized forms of those objects. You can construct and parse the Java objects and perform validation, but you cannot test the objects directly.
    - Testing with Apache Camel components
      You can use HCL OneTest™ API to create tests and stubs by setting up an Apache Camel component in an HCL OneTest API project.

You can set up an email transport in an HCL OneTest API project and configure the email servers as the physical resources in the HCL OneTest API project, and then test the email services.
    - Testing with Envoy Proxy (Experimental)
      You can use HCL OneTest™ API to record the HTTP traffic on the Envoy Proxy by using the Experimental HTTP Tap Filter feature of the Envoy Proxy.
    - Testing with the File transport
      As with any other transport, the File transport includes both logical and physical configurations. Tests and stubs are associated with the logical file, which represents an abstraction of the file and is the same for all environments. The physical File Access configuration includes connection details, and you can configure a different physical File Access for each environment.
    - Testing with the FIX transport
      You can use the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) transport and FIX dictionaries in HCL OneTest™ API to help you test trade-related messages and the systems that use them.
    - Testing with the HTTP transport

    - Testing with Kubernetes
      For testing with Kubernetes set up a Kubernetes cluster, and then you can create and publish stubs from HCL OneTest™ API so that stubs can be run within Kubernetes. The stubs published can be co-located with existing services running within the Kubernetes cluster.
    - Testing with Microsoft™ .NET objects
      You can import serializable .NET objects from .NET assembly files (.exe or .dll) into HCL OneTest™ API and apply them to messages in the same way as you would apply a schema. A service-based test or stub can then send and receive a message containing a serialized form of a .NET object from the assembly file. You can construct and parse the .NET objects and perform validation, but you cannot test the objects directly.
    - Testing the migrated Postman collections
      You can migrate Postman collections and environments that you created in Postman to HCL OneTest™ API. Operations, transports, tests and stubs are automatically created during migration and you can run the tests and stubs in HCL OneTest API.
