Reference Guide
This guide describes the additional topics to gain more knowledge about HCL OneTest™ UI.
- Reference for the UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn all the reference or additional information about the Web UI Test perspective.
- Reference for the Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn all the reference or additional information about the Functional Test perspective.
  - Test application domain support
    HCL OneTest™ UI is an object-oriented automated testing tool that tests Windows®, .NET, Java™, HTML, Siebel, SAP, AJAX, PowerBuilder, Flex, Dojo, Visual Basic and GEF applications.
    - Adobe PDF documents support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing of Portable Document Format (PDF) read-only files created for Adobe Reader versions 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0. (Adobe Reader 11 is the last supported version of the Reader application.) You can test PDF files that are displayed in a browser or in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application. A functional test script that is recorded for files that are displayed in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application can be played back when the file is displayed in a browser and vice-versa, provided that the script is recorded for document controls only. Support for Adobe PDF requires Visual C++ 2013 or higher.
    - AJAX support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing AJAX-based web applications.
    - Application Response Measurement support
      The Application Response Measurement (ARM) standard helps measure the end-to-end transaction performance of an application, including service levels and response time. HCL OneTest™ UI uses the response time breakdown to view the statistics that is captured while running a test.
    - Dojo support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing HTML applications that contain Dojo controls on versions of all browsers supported by HCL OneTest UI. You can test applications that are developed using Dojo Toolkit versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3.2, 1.4.2, 1.5, 1.6.1, 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9.
    - Eclipse support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing of applications based on Eclipse 3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.2, 4.2, 4.2.2, and 4.4.
    - Flex support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing functional aspects of Adobe® Flex applications. You can record and playback scripts against Flex-based user interfaces inside a web browser and verify that the application functions correctly.
    - GEF support
      HCL OneTest™ UI allows testing the functionality of GEF objects that are implemented using standard GEF editors and non-standard GEF editors. GEF editor is based on Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF) that provides many features for manipulating models. GEF displays a model graphically, employs MVC (model-view-controller) architecture and aids user interaction with that model.
    - HTML and HTML 5 support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing traditional HTML applications that are loaded in a browser. Through the UI Test perspective, HCL OneTest UI also supports testing HTML 5-based applications in desktop and mobile browsers.
    - Java support
      This functional testing application supports the following Java™ versions for testing Java applications and HTML applications with applets.
    - .NET support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports recording and playing back user applications that are built with the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5.1. You can also test Microsoft Windows 32-bit applications that contain .NET controls.
    - Windows support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing of Windows applications with Win32 controls.
    - Nested domains support
      HCL OneTest™ UI recognizes two different kinds of nesting of objects, a parent-child nesting and an owner-owned nesting. A parent-child nesting occurs when one object is contained within another, such as a button on a form. An owner-owned nesting occurs when the owned object has its own top-level window, such as a dialog box that is owned by a top-level window.
    - PowerBuilder support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports the testing of Win32 targets and .NET targets that are created by using Sybase PowerBuilder versions 10.5, 11.0, 11.2, 11.5, 12.0, 12.5, 12.6, and Appeon PowerBuilder 2017.
    - SAP support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports extended functional testing of SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for HTML.
    - Siebel support
      HCL OneTest™ UI contains extended functional testing support for Siebel applications.
      - Enabling Siebel support for pre-existing Functional Test projects
        To use the Siebel support for a project that was created using the earlier versions of HCL OneTest™ UI you must add two new templates; one for script headers and one for script helper headers to the Functional Test project.
    - Silverlight support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing applications that are developed using Microsoft® Silverlight version 4.0 and are loaded in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0. You can also test Silverlight applications running on desktops, as well as embedded Silverlight applications. Testing Silverlight applications is only supported on 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer.
    - Visual Basic support
      HCL OneTest™ UI supports testing Visual Basic 5.0 and 6.0 applications.
    - Terminal-based applications support
      HCL OneTest™ UI Extension for Terminal-based Applications supports functional testing of Mainframe or zSeries (TN3270, TN3270E), AS/400 or iSeries (TN5250) and pSeries or Virtual Terminals (VT default, VT100, VT101, VT102, VT220-7, VT220-8, VT320, VT420-7, VT420-8, VT52, VT UTF-8).
  - Command line interface
    In this section, you will learn about the actions that can also be performed from the command line.
  - UI reference
    In this section, you will learn all the UI references and its additional information for the Functional Test perspective.
- Java API reference
  You can find the links to view the following API reference guides of HCL OneTest™ UI:

Siebel support

HCL OneTest™ UI contains extended functional testing support for Siebel applications.

HCL OneTest™ UI supports the following versions of Siebel:

Siebel 7.7
Siebel 7.8
Siebel 8.0
Siebel 8.1
Siebel 8.2.2

The Siebel add-on for HCL OneTest™ UI allows you to capture and play back Graphical User Interface level interactions using Siebel object models and events. You can perform property and data verification points on Siebel custom components.

Testing high-interactive Siebel applications

Prerequisites: :

To test high-interactive Siebel applications, you must obtain the Siebel Test Automation Framework from Oracle.
Enable the Siebel Test Automation Framework.

Setting the registry key

You must set the registry key for HCL OneTest™ UI to record Siebel HI controls using the user interface name. By default, HCL OneTest™ UI records using the repository name.
In the registry, ensure that you create a new dWord named UINameInScript, and set the value to 1 in .

Starting Siebel Test Automation framework (STA)

While invoking the Siebel application add SWECmd=AutoOn to URL http://hostname/callcenter/start.swe?. For example, http://hostname/callcenter/start.swe?SWECmd=AutoOn. This automatically starts the Siebel Test Automation framework.

Configuring CAS timeout

Client Automation Server (CAS) provides a mechanism to configure timeout on calls which can result in the system hanging. By default, this timeout is set to 1 second, but you can configure this using the ivory.properties file by setting the rational.test.ft.siebel.cas_submit_timeout to the desired value.
