Tester Guide
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.
Tester Guide - API Testing
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.
Working in non-GUI mode
You can use the tools and executable files that are provided along with the product software. You can use these tools to perform different test actions in a non-GUI mode.
Ant tasks
You can use the supported Ant tasks that is supplied with HCL® Quality Server to create, update, or manage the environment, scenarios, and stubs.
Exit codes for Command-line client and Ant client
The HCL OneTest™ API Command-Line Client and the HCL® Quality Server Ant Client applications share the same exit codes.

- Tester Guide - API Testing
  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.
  - API Testing
    You can use find information about the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, or applications.
  - Extending HCL OneTest™ API functionality by using custom functions
    You can add more calculations and operations to tests by using the HCL OneTest™ API custom function class. HCL OneTest API custom function is a Java™ class that extends the com.ghc.ghTester.expressions function.
  - Working in non-GUI mode
    You can use the tools and executable files that are provided along with the product software. You can use these tools to perform different test actions in a non-GUI mode.
    - Command-line interfaces
      HCL OneTest™ API command-line client is available in HCL OneTest API 8.0.1 or later.
    - Ant tasks
      You can use the supported Ant tasks that is supplied with HCL® Quality Server to create, update, or manage the environment, scenarios, and stubs.
      - Accessing and using Ant tasks
        You can use the Apache Ant tasks package provided with HCL® Quality Server that contains the Ant tasks with which you can control the environment, scenario, and stubs in HCL Quality Server.
      - Generating Ant scripts to run tests or suites
        You can generate Ant scripts from HCL OneTest™ API by using the Integration Tester Test Execution plug-in. You can use the generated script to run test resources automatically from within Ant by using the IntegrationTester Ant task.
      - Exit codes for Command-line client and Ant client
        The HCL OneTest™ API Command-Line Client and the HCL® Quality Server Ant Client applications share the same exit codes.
    - REST services
      Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. When used in conjunction with HCL® Quality Server, HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) are mapped to actions on domains, environments, scenarios, stubs and other resource types.
    - Running tests
      Use HCL OneTest™ API to run tests with command-line and Ant APIs.
    - Managing test results
      Use HCL® Quality Server to manage test results with command-line APIs.
    - Managing domains
      You can create, list, update, and delete domains with the HCL® Quality Server REST API.
    - Managing environments
      Locking a HCL® Quality Server environment prevents other users from changing the state of that environment, for example, starting or stopping stubs.
    - Managing scenarios
      Use HCL® Quality Server to manage scenarios with command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
    - Managing stubs
      You can manage stubs by using the command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
- Tester Guide - Service Virtualization
  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.

Exit codes for Command-line client and Ant client

The HCL OneTest™ API Command-Line Client and the HCL® Quality Server Ant Client applications share the same exit codes.

For information about the HCL OneTest™ API Command-Line Client, refer to Command-line interfaces.
