Working with Test Manager

If you associate a Functional Test project with a Rational® project, you can play back scripts from TestManager, play back scripts on a remote computer, and view scripts from TestManager.

For information about using HCL OneTest™ UI and Rational TestManager together, see Understanding HCL OneTest UI Product Packaging and Integrations.

Note: To view the Rational TestManager version that can be integrated with HCL OneTest UI, see List of supported domains for functional testing by releases of HCL OneTest UI tech. note.

When you associate an Functional Test project with a Rational project, you can:

  • Play back scripts, including Functional Test scripts, from Rational TestManager.
  • Use the TestManager Agent to play back scripts on a remote computer.
  • View scripts from the Test Scripts window of Rational TestManager.

You can use the Test Log window of TestManager to:

  • Open a log to view a result.
  • Filter the data of a log to view only the information you need.
  • Open the script that generates a log event in the appropriate script development tool. For example, if you run a Functional Test script in TestManager, when you click on a log event, HCL OneTest UI opens and displays the script.
  • Analyze the results of a test log using the Functional Test Verification Point Comparator. If you use HCL OneTest UI to record scripts and create verification points, you can analyze the results in the Verification Point Comparator to determine why a verification point may have failed.
  • Submit a defect for a failed test case or for a failed log event. The log automatically fills in build, configuration, and script information in the Rational ClearQuest® defect form.
  • Preview or print data displayed in the active log in the Test Log window.

For more information about using TestManager, see the Rational TestManager Help.

Note: These integrated features are optional. You can create, view, and play back scripts and view logs from within HCL OneTest UI using it standalone.

Starting HCL OneTest UI and TestManager

You must create a Rational project using Rational Administrator and associate a Functional Test project with a Rational project to allow TestManager to access a Functional Test project.

Here's a scenario for using HCL OneTest UI with TestManager:

  1. Start HCL OneTest UI.

    The Rational Test Login appears.

  2. Log into the Rational project associated with a Functional Test project.
    Note: To view Functional Test scripts or logs from TestManager you must log into the Rational project associated with a Functional Test project.

    You can run a Functional Test script, and view log information about Functional Test scripts from the TestManager log.

    TestManager accesses the Functional Test project.

Viewing Functional Test scripts from TestManager

You can view Functional Test scripts from the Test Scripts window of TestManager:

  1. From TestManager, click View > Test Scripts.

    TestManager starts HCL OneTest UI.

  2. Click Functional Test GUI Script.
  3. Right-click a Functional Test script or Functional Test project, and click Open Test Script.

Running a Functional Test Script from TestManager

You can run a Functional Test script from the Test Scripts window of TestManager:

  1. From TestManager, click File > Run Test Script > GUI - HCL OneTest UI - <name of Functional Test project>.
  2. Select a Functional Test script.
  3. Right-click on the script and click Open.
  4. Select the computer on which to run the script.
  5. Click Change to optionally change information about the log, and then click OK.

TestManager starts HCL OneTest UI and runs the script.

Viewing TestManager logs

You can set logging preferences to view a TestManager log, analyze failed verification point events, and submit a defect from TestManager.

  1. Set HCL OneTest UI logging preferences to view a TestManager log with HCL OneTest UI log events.

    The Test Log window of TestManager appears after you run a Functional Test script.

  2. In the Details tab, right-click a failed verification point event and click View > Verification Point to analyze a failed verification point event.
  3. TestManager starts the HCL OneTest UI Verification Point Comparator to help you analyze a failure.
  4. Right-click a failed event in the Event Type column of the Test Log window, and then click Submit Defect to submit a defect.

    TestManager starts Rational ClearQuest so that you can submit a defect.

  5. Click Open Script to correct an error in the script.
  6. From TestManager, use a report to analyze HCL OneTest UI test results.

    For information about running TestManager coverage reports or other reports, see the TestManager Help.
