Task flow for Setting up HCL OneTest™ UI
The diagram in this topic shows the task flow for setting up HCL OneTest™ UI.
Creating a project
The tests that you create, and the assets associated with the tests, reside in a project on your desktop. You can create the project separately, or you can simply record a test, which automatically creates a project named testproj.
Getting started in the UI Test perspective
With the UI Test perspective, you can find information and task flows to create and run functional tests for web applications.
Getting started in the Functional Test perspective
With the Functional Test perspective, you can find information and task flows to create and run functional tests for native or hybrid applications.
Task flow for integrating HCL OneTest™ UI and HCL OneTest™ API
You can run integration tests in HCL OneTest™ UI by using HCL OneTest UI Extension for HCL OneTest API. In HCL OneTest UI, you can create a compound test to run the integration tests by using agents.
