- Installing
  In this section, you will learn about two ways to install the product. In the first approach, you use an executable file to directly install the product in an easy manner. In the second approach, you download and install IBM® Installation Manager and then use that tool to install the product.
- Starting Rational® Functional Tester from the command line
  You can start Rational® Functional Tester 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.
  - 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 compound tests and Web UI tests from the command-line interface.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps for UI 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.
  - EGit integration
    EGit is an Eclipse plugin for the Git version control system. You can store your test assets in the Git repository and use EGit for the daily version control operations.
  - Testing with Rational® Team Concert™
    You can manage test assets with Jazz™ source control management by integrating the test workbench with IBM® Rational® Team Concert™ (formerly known as Rational Team Concert) eclipse client.
  - Integration with Engineering Test Management
    You can integrate IBM® Engineering Test Management (formerly known as IBM Rational® Quality Manager) with Rational Functional Tester to initiate test runs from Engineering Test Management.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ UI Jenkins plugin to run tests on a Jenkins server.
    - Environment variables
      You can add environment variables on the Jenkins server to run the Jenkins build by referring to environment variables.
    - Task flows for running test assets from Jenkins
      You can perform certain tasks to run test assets from the Jenkins Freestyle project.
    - Installing the plugin on the Jenkins primary server
      You must install the HCL OneTest™ UI Web UI Jenkins plugin to run UI test assets from the Jenkins server.
    - Configuring the Freestyle project
      You must configure a Freestyle project to add a build step, and then run test assets from Jenkins.
    - Running tests from Jenkins
      You can run test assets either from the Jenkins Freestyle project on the Jenkins server to test an application under test.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting with v9.2, you can use the Maven plug-in to run Functional Test scripts. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM). You can use the Maven plug-in that is provided to run tests as part of your Maven build.
  - Integration with Micro Focus ALM
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to run test assets from Micro Focus ALM.
