You review use cases for testing and performing basic functional testing operations. This tutorial uses the sample application provided with HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) in performing all the tasks.
    - Lesson 1: Set up DevOps Test UI
      IBM provides a Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed and enabled for testing Java applications. Use this JRE for the tutorial. When you want to test your own Java or HTML applications, run the enabler and configure your environments and applications. For more information about these setup tasks, see the Getting Started with HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) wizard in the First Steps section of the product Welcome. For now, you do not need to do anything to use the preconfigured JRE to continue.
    - Lesson 2: Record a simplified test script
      In this lesson, you record a simplified test script by using the recorder to test the Java application that is installed with the product.
    - Lesson 3: Perform a data-driven test
      In this lesson, you insert data-driven actions into the test script and populate a dataset with the data from the sample application.
    - Lesson 4: Create a verification point with a dataset reference
      In this lesson, you create a verification point with a dataset reference to check that the price for the CD is correct in the ClassicsCD application.
    - Lesson 5: Add data to the dataset
      In this lesson, you add data to the dataset to test the ClassicsCD sample application by placing more orders for the CD.
    - Lesson 6: Play back the test script
      In this lesson, you play back the script and look at some parts of the application interface. Because the script you recorded is the active script, that script plays back when you click the playback button.
    - Lesson 7: Edit the simplified script by using the application visuals
      In this lesson, you learn to edit the simplified script by using the application visuals.
    - Lesson 8: Insert Java custom code
      You can switch to Java scripting if you want to insert Java codes to perform additional operations such as extending an API or any functions that cannot be performed directly in the simplified script editor.
    - Summary: Get started with functional testing using simplified scripts
      This tutorial has shown you how to set up HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) for testing, recording and playing back simplified scripts, creating verification points, performing data-driven tests, and editing the scripts using the application visuals.
