Test Author Guide
This guide describes how to create test assets in HCL OneTest™ Server and publish test assets to the Git repository that you have configured. You can also edit existing test assets that are in the repository added to your project. This guide is intended for testers and test managers.
Generation of test data
To test an application, you use data that is passed to get real-time results. Since creating test data manually is time-consuming, you can use HCL® OneTest™ Data, an automated tool to generate random test data. You can generate the test data in various file formats.
Status of generated test data
You can view the status of all the test data generated jobs and Data Definition Language (DDL) statements generated jobs performed in your project, on the Jobs page.
Jobs management
When you run a job to generate the test data, you can view the job details on the Jobs page. The Jobs page helps you to view and to manage the list of all the jobs that you execute.

- Edit branch overview
  When you want to create or modify any test assets in HCL OneTest™ Server, you must use an Edit branch.
- Test authoring
  You can use HCL OneTest™ Server to author tests instead of creating the tests by using the desktop products.
- Datasets overview
  A dataset provides tests with variable data during a run. The test that uses a dataset at run time replaces a value in the recorded test with variable test data that is stored in the dataset.
- Generation of test data
  To test an application, you use data that is passed to get real-time results. Since creating test data manually is time-consuming, you can use HCL® OneTest™ Data, an automated tool to generate random test data. You can generate the test data in various file formats.
  - Schema fabrication
    A schema is a graphical structure to represent different types of data. You can fabricate a schema for the generation of test data.
  - Schema design overview
    When you compose a schema by using HCL® OneTest™ Data you must define the types of the schema. You can also modify the types of the schema when you import any schema from local file system or use the schema generated by using any external resource.
  - Test data generation from structured schemas
    When you want to test your application by using randomly generated test data, then you must generate the test data from the structured schemas.
  - Status of generated test data
    You can view the status of all the test data generated jobs and Data Definition Language (DDL) statements generated jobs performed in your project, on the Jobs page.
    - Usage of test data generation job
      The generation of test data or Data Definition Language (DDL) statements for single or multiple schemas in HCL® OneTest™ Data is considered a job. You can view the list of all jobs on the Jobs page.
    - Jobs management
      When you run a job to generate the test data, you can view the job details on the Jobs page. The Jobs page helps you to view and to manage the list of all the jobs that you execute.
      - Deleting a test data generated job
        When any of the generated test data is of no further usage, you can delete that specific test data from your project.
      - Canceling a test data generation job
        After initiating a test data generation job, if you want to modify the schema or terminate the job before the job completes, then you can cancel the running test data generation job.

Jobs management

When you run a job to generate the test data, you can view the job details on the Jobs page. The Jobs page helps you to view and to manage the list of all the jobs that you execute.

You can perform a quick search for the test data generated jobs based on the name of the schema or the date range by selecting the From and To dates. If the To field is blank, you can view the results till the most recent date. After you perform the search, if you want to continue to search for any schema or specific date, you must clear the Search field by using the Clear Filter button.

You can delete and cancel the generated test data jobs.
