- Starting HCL OneTest™ UI from the command line
  You can start HCL OneTest™ UI from the desktop environment or a command-line interface.
- Integrations in Web UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Web UI Test perspective.
- Integrations in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Functional Test perspective.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugin that are compatible with HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Testing with Ant
    You can use ant to run functional tests from the command line. Starting with version 2.0 of the ant plugin, you can run multiple tests simultaneously. Version 2.0 of the ant plugin is supported in HCL OneTest™ UI 9.2 and newer.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps for Functional tests
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in HCL OneTest™ UI and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with HCL OneTest UI by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
  - Testing with Cucumber
    Starting with HCL OneTest™ UI 9.2, you can take advantage of Cucumber integration to create, annotate, and run functional test scripts that can be easily understood by all members of the team.
  - Integrating and running Functional Test scripts in Micro Focus Application Life Cycle Management
    To obtain test result details, you can integrate and run Functional Test scripts in Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management by using a ready-made template available in the HCL OneTest™ UI installation directory.
  - Testing with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. You can execute the functional test scripts from HCL OneTest UI.
    - Configuring and running the adapter for IBM Engineering Test Management
      You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with Rational® Quality Manager by using an adapter. The adapter is available in the HCL OneTest UI installation directory. You can run the tests that you create by using HCL OneTest UI in Rational® Quality Manager after you configure and start the adapter.
    - Configuring and running the adapter using the command-line interface
      Integration with HCL OneTest™ UI is implemented through the use of an adapter. The functional test adapter is installed by default when you install HCL OneTest UI. You can configure and start the adapter using the command-line interface.
    - Using the adapter to connect to Rational® Quality Manager through a proxy server
      You can use the adapter to connect to the Rational® Quality Manager server through a proxy server. You must configure the credentials for the proxy server from the command-line interface.
    - Handling inputs from Rational® Quality Manager in HCL OneTest™ UI scripts
      If you use IBM® Rational® Quality Manager to execute functional test scripts, you can make Rational Quality Manager details available to the functional test script to be used during playback.
    - Working with keywords
      In HCL OneTest™ UI, you can associate functional test scripts with the keywords that are created in IBM® Engineering Test Management.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ UI Jenkins plugin to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting from V9.2.0, you can use the Maven plug-in that is provided with the testing product to run tests as part of your Maven build. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM).
  - Testing with Rational® ClearCase®
    As you develop your HCL OneTest™ UI test scripts and the supporting files that accompany those scripts, you can use Rational® ClearCase® as your software configuration management system to maintain an auditable and repeatable history of your organization's test assets.
  - Testing with Rational® Team Concert™
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM® Rational® Team Concert™ (formerly known as Rational Team Concert). You can manage functional test assets by using the Jazz™ source control management that the Jazz Eclipse Client provides. You must have a compatible version of Rational Team Concert server set up to use the Jazz source control management.
  - Testing with Tivoli Composite Application Manager
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM Tivoli® Composite Application Manager. You can schedule the interval at which the application manager agent runs to track the response time and generate logs using HCL OneTest UI scripts.
  - Testing with UrbanCode™ Deploy
    You can run functional test scripts remotely with the HCL OneTest™ UI plug-in for UrbanCode™ Deploy.

Testing with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager

HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. You can execute the functional test scripts from HCL OneTest™ UI.

HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with Engineering Test Management using an adapter. The functional test adapter is installed by default when you install HCL OneTest™ UI. After installing HCL OneTest™ UI, you must configure and run the adapter. The adapter receives messages from IBM® Rational® Quality Manager and runs functional test scripts when requested from a user through the IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. After test run, the adapter uploads the execution log to the IBM® Rational® Quality Manager server.

Test scripts are created and associated with keywords using HCL OneTest™ UI. These keywords are created and defined in IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. You can manage and execute functional test scripts and view test logs from IBM® Rational® Quality Manager.

If a functional test script depends on external JARs, and you want to run the test script from Rational® Quality Manager, you must place the test script in the HCL OneTest™ UI customization folder. For details, see .
