Tutorials
You can learn to start using Test UI by reviewing the information in the Tutorials for the UI Test perspective and Functional Test perspective.
- Tutorials for testing in the UI Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
  - Lesson 1: Recording actions on an AUT
    You can learn about recording actions that you perform on a web application in the UI Test perspective.
  - Lesson 2: Creating a verification point
    You can learn about creating a verification point for an action that you recorded on an application under test (AUT). Verification points verify that a certain action has taken place, or they verify the state of a control or an object during the play back of tests.
  - Lesson 3: Running a test
    You can learn about running a test to verify whether a test scenario is played back successfully by HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
  - Lesson 4: Test log and reports
    You can learn about the test log and reports that are generated by HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) after a test run is complete. You can use the data in the log and reports to analyze the test results and confirm whether the test run was successful.
  - Lesson 5: Splitting actions in a test
    You can learn about splitting the actions of a test into test segments with different nodes. If a test contains many actions, you can split the test to create multiple nodes with meaningful test segments. You can then perform various actions such as inserting a loop, inserting a condition, and so on to the test segments of the selected nodes. You can also move a node from the existing test to a new test, and add the new test to a compound test that consists of various other tests that can be run sequentially.
  - Lesson 6: Creating a dataset
    You can learn about creating a dataset for a test so that you can fetch the variable dataset values at the run time. A dataset is a collection of related data records that you can use to substitute the data in the test.
  - Lesson 7: Associating a dataset with a test
    You can learn about associating a dataset with a recorded test to add actual data to the test during the playback. The associated dataset is accessed during the playback of the test and the actual data in the test is substituted with the variable data in the dataset.
  - Lesson 8: Creating a compound test
    You can learn about creating a compound test with multiple tests. Every individual test within the compound test performs a part of the main scenario. When you run the compound test, the individual tests are run in sequence.
  - Lesson 9: Adding a loop
    You can learn about adding a loop to a test so that the test runs repeatedly for a specified number of time, while fetching values from an associated dataset. You can either select a count-based, a time-based, or an infinite loop for the test. You can set the loop to infinite if you want the test to fetch the data from all the rows in a dataset.
- Tutorials for testing in the Functional Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the Functional Test perspective in HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
- Tutorials for testing in the Visual Studio IDE
  HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) tutorials contain educational materials to help you learn the technologies and concepts behind products.

Tutorials for testing in the UI Test perspective

You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).

Prerequisites

Before you can get started with testing by using the tutorials, you must have completed the following tasks:

Installed Test UI. See Installation.
Verified the system requirements specified for Test UI. See System Requirements for DevOps Test UI 2024.06 (11.0.2).

Be sure to start Test UI on a new workspace.

Testing in the UI Test perspective

In the UI Test perspective, you record tests from web applications. The UI Test perspective provides you a recording and natural language scripting environment to test browser applications that use HTML5 and JQuery. You can test on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari browsers.

A web application includes many user scenarios. For example, on an e-commerce website many users only browse the products, some of the users sign in and add products to the cart, and a few of them purchase the products and sign out of the web site.

In this tutorial, you can learn to record actions on the web application, create verification points, run the test, view the test results, split actions in the test, create a dataset and associate it with the test, create a compound test, and to add a loop to the test. You can use https://en.wikipedia.org as the application under test (AUT).

You can find the following tutorials that you can use to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective:
