By following four basic guidelines, you can incorporate HCL OneTest™ API into your testing methodology. These guidelines drive efficient and expedient integration testing, and they can be applied to your testing process and infrastructure requirements.

A SOA consists of business processes that are implemented by linking individual services. The linking can be done programmatically or with tools based on Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). SOA testing can be challenging because there is no GUI; the focus is on testing interfaces and services.

You can start using HCL OneTest™ API by completing the preliminary tasks such as creating and running a test, creating and running a stub, recording an HTTP proxy, and running a stub in a Docker container.

HCL OneTest™ Virtualization stubs designed in HCL OneTest API are published to HCL® Quality Server, which holds them in a repository.

Users who have a physical disability, such as limited vision, can review the available accessibility features to use HCL OneTest™ API.

You can find information about installing HCL OneTest™ API from the HCL OneTest Studio or HCL OneTest API package.

You can find information about installing HCL® Quality Server from the HCL OneTest™ Studio, HCL OneTest Virtualization, or HCL OneTest API package.

When you no longer require the software, you can use either Installation Manager or the stand-alone installer to uninstall the products that you have installed.

Licensing for your HCL software is administered through HCL® License & Delivery portal. This portal is FlexNet-based web application to manage software entitlements and licenses.

is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The HCL® Quality Server allows you to use virtual services published with HCL OneTest™ API to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in HCL OneTest Virtualization.

HCL OneTest™ API supports integration with various other tools for quality management, change management, software configuration management, and deployment automation tools such as UrbanCode™ Deploy or HCL® Launch.

This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, and applications. To enable testing, you must configure and enable the environment for testing. This guide is intended for API testers.

This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for using virtual services or stubs to simulate parts of an environment if the real services are not yet available or because they are difficult or expensive to use. This guide is intended for API Testers.

You can use HCL® Quality Server to display the results of tests that you run in both HCL OneTest™ API and HCL Quality Server.

HCL® Quality Server collects and stores usage metric data. The metric data might include the number and types of actions that are used, the features that are used in the workbench, details about Operating System or languages set while running, and so forth. You cannot view the metric data on the HCL Quality Server user interface, but it is available from the underlying implementation. Storage is either managed by H2 or optionally Apache Cassandra.

You can troubleshoot some of the problems that you might encounter when you are installing, configuring, or running HCL OneTest™ API.

Problems can occur at a time when HCL OneTest™ API cannot display an error message. Instead, a warning icon is displayed. Double-clicking the icon reveals a list of errors.

To configure the HCL OneTest™ API logs, including those for the RunTest command when run from the command line, update the HCL OneTest API logging properties file.

To configure the HCL OneTest™ API Agent logs, including those for the RunTests command when run from the command line, update the HCL OneTest API Agent logging properties file.

To configure the RQMAgent logs, update the RQMAgent logging properties file.

When you install HCL OneTest™ API, HCL OneTest API Agent, or HCL® Quality Server including the HTTP/TCP proxy, several logging properties files are added to each installation's home directory.

You can use the following list of logging-related information to help you find information about the logs that are supported by HCL OneTest™ API. All of the programs use the Java logging framework. For details, see the Java logging framework documentation.

If one of the programs fails to start as a Windows™ service, it can be difficult to determine the cause. Typically the service fails to start but gives no indication of why. The Windows Event log has nothing useful and the process might not have created its log file.

This section provides an overview of HCL OneTest™ API, including information about projects and files, the HCL OneTest API user interface, environments, and project settings and preferences.

Use the Architecture School perspective to build a system under test by using the logical, physical, and synchronization views. You can also use this perspective to manage the schemas available in your project.

With HCL OneTest™ API, you can record events (messages or database interactions) sent to and from the system under test. Use Recording Studio to control what parts of the system should be recorded. These parts could be specific parts of the system infrastructure or specific services using that infrastructure. You can then use the recorded events as a source of tests and other interactions with the system. In Recording Studio, you can record the traffic over a number of different transports.

The Test Factory perspective is one of the main areas in HCL OneTest™ API. You can create all the tests and the required artifacts/data to support them.

You use the Test Lab to execute test assets, repair tests, and open test assets for editing directly from this perspective. You can execute all of the tests, test suites, and stubs that are created in Test Factory.

You use the Results Gallery perspective to view an execution summary and detailed coverage, and error reports for executed test suites and for test cases that were executed within a suite or as part of a test cycle.

HCL OneTest™ API can publish and subscribe to messages as part of a test. A message normally consists of two parts: a header and a body. The header usually adheres to a predefined logical construction, while the structure of the body can be more arbitrary.

HCL OneTest™ API can handle many types of content. For the product to be able to interpret the variety of content types, it must associate a content format description, or schema with the content.

HCL OneTest™ API can interact with any database that supports connectivity through the JDBC specification. These interactions can be used to extract or update data where necessary, and test data sets can be taken directly from database table content.

An identity store can group a collection of one or more certificates that can be used in HCL OneTest™ API to validate and authenticate connections that use SSL. After you create an identity store, you can use it to enable SSL communications in various messaging transports.

You can use scripts in HCL OneTest™ API that include the HCL OneTest API legacy scripting language, ECMAScript (such as JavaScript™), Chai, or any third-party scripting language that you install.

HCL OneTest™ API is primarily GUI-based, but you can also run or view tests, suites, and stubs outside of the HCL OneTest API.

Actions are the building blocks of a test. A test consists of a series of steps and each step is an action. Actions can be defined for tests and stubs.

For some fields in HCL OneTest™ API, you can define patterns for date-time formatting. Pattern letters are repeated, as their number determines the exact presentation of the date-time information that they represent.

The Add Numbers service, included with HCL OneTest™ API, provides a simple way to generate messages that you can observe with topology discovery or capture in Recording Studio.
