- Running tests from UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn how to play back the Web UI, mobile and Windows tests from the UI Test perspective.
  - Running Web UI tests
    See the different ways to play back Web UI tests.
    - Prerequisites to running Web UI tests
      - Setting a specific browser profile for the playback
        When you play back a Web UI test in a browser, the test is played back in the temporary profile of the browser. You can set a specific user profile, which includes the extensions and settings to use for the test, for the browser in HCL OneTest™ UI to play back the Web UI test.
      - Clearing cache, cookies, and history of browsers
        To optimize the performance of web browsers that are used to play back Web UI tests, you can clear cache, cookies, and history of browsers.
    - Running tests from an Android mobile test client
      You can run a test from an Android mobile device or emulator. After the run, the report is automatically uploaded to HCL OneTest™ UI. You can also view the report on the mobile test client.
    - Running Web UI tests on BitBar mobile device cloud
      You can run Web UI tests on mobile devices available in BitBar cloud device from the test workbench and to view the execution reports in the BitBar cloud.
    - Running Web UI tests on Perfecto mobile cloud
      To check the connection between the application and mobile cloud device, ideally before the test execution, you can enter the Perfecto mobile cloud credentials and get it verified.
    - Running a test using industry-standard mobile browsers
      Starting with 9.2.1, you can use industry-standard mobile browsers, such as Chrome and Safari, to run Web UI tests for mobile web applications. You can run tests with Chrome on Android devices and emulators and with Safari on iOS devices and simulators. This capability uses UI Test Agent to actually run the tests. Before 9.2.1, you could only run tests on mobile devices using the generic browser that is bundled with HCL OneTest™ UI.
    - Running a test recorded in Google Chrome Device Mode
      You can run a test that you recorded in Chrome Device Mode. Doing so allows you to emulate the testing of applications on the browser of a mobile device.
    - Testing with Docker images
      HCL OneTest™ Performance, HCL OneTest UI, and HCL OneTest Performance Agents are available for download as Docker images. You can use them to fulfill the continuous testing aspects of your DevOps lifecycle.
    - Starting a new recording immediately after playback
      Starting from 9.1.1.1, you can keep the Google Chrome browser active after Web UI test playback is complete. This feature allows you to continue recording at the point where playback finished without the need to re-record the earlier steps.
    - Adding custom JavaScript code as a test step in a Web UI test
      You can manually add JavaScript files (*.js) to test scripts with defined functions. You might want to run your own JavaScript snippet such as retrieving some data from the application, doing some actions within the application, or validating some complex logic actions within the application for example. To be able to execute specific code in a test, write your own JavaScript code and insert the custom JavaScript statement as a new test step in your test script.
  - Running mobile tests
    After you record the tests for mobile applications by using HCL OneTest™ UI, you can play back the recorded tests by using HCL OneTest UI. The test reports help you to analyze the functional and performance issues in the mobile applications developed.
  - Running Windows tests
    You can run Windows tests that you created for Windows desktop applications in HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Configuration of AFT Suite runs
    When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as AFT Suite runs before you can view their test results.
  - Running a test on multiple browsers and devices simultaneously
    Rather than run a Web UI test on one browser at a time, you can run a single Web UI test on multiple browsers simultaneously. Doing so can significantly speed up your test effort. You can also extend your test coverage by adding mobile devices to the test run. You can run the test from HCL OneTest™ UI, from the command line, or from Rational® Quality Manager. This topic describes how to run a test from the UI Test perspective.
  - Running a test from a command line
    You can run a test without opening the product by using the command-line interface.
- Running tests from Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn how to play back tests from the Functional Test perspective.
