Testing with HCL® DevOps Deploy

You can integrate Test UI with HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) to run tests as a Process from Deploy.

When you use Deploy for automating the deployments of your applications to an environment during the development cycle, you can create tests for your application in Test UI. You can then run those tests from Deploy.

You must use the Deploy plugin to integrate Test UI with Deploy. Integrating Test UI with Deploy automates the process of test runs. If you have many tests to run at regular intervals, you can use Deploy to initiate test runs automatically.

The following table lists the tasks that you must perform to run tests from Deploy:
