- Tutorials for testing in the UI Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI.
- Tutorials for testing in the Functional Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the Functional Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Get started with functional testing using simplified scripts
    This tutorial introduces you to simplified test scripts and the application visuals and helps you get started with HCL OneTest™ UI for testing applications. It uses a sample Java™ application that is installed with the product for functional testing.
    - Introduction: Get started with functional testing using simplified scripts
      In this tutorial, you learn to create simplified test scripts, work with application visuals, and get started with functional testing. You review use cases for testing and performing basic functional testing operations. This tutorial uses the sample application provided with HCL OneTest™ UI in performing all the tasks.
    - Lesson 1: Set up HCL OneTest™ UI
      IBM provides a Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed and enabled for testing Java applications. Use this JRE for the tutorial. When you want to test your own Java or HTML applications, run the enabler and configure your environments and applications. For more information about these setup tasks, see the Getting Started with HCL OneTest™ UI wizard in the First Steps section of the product Welcome. For now, you do not need to do anything to use the preconfigured JRE to continue.
    - Lesson 2: Record a simplified test script
      In this lesson, you record a simplified test script by using the recorder to test the Java application that is installed with the product.
    - Lesson 3: Perform a data-driven test
      In this lesson, you insert data-driven actions into the test script and populate a dataset with the data from the sample application.
    - Lesson 4: Create a verification point with a dataset reference
      In this lesson, you create a verification point with a dataset reference to check that the price for the CD is correct in the ClassicsCD application.
    - Lesson 5: Add data to the dataset
      In this lesson, you add data to the dataset to test the ClassicsCD sample application by placing more orders for the CD.
    - Lesson 6: Play back the test script
      In this lesson, you play back the script and look at some parts of the application interface. Because the script you recorded is the active script, that script plays back when you click the playback button.
    - Lesson 7: Edit the simplified script by using the application visuals
      In this lesson, you learn to edit the simplified script by using the application visuals.
    - Lesson 8: Insert Java custom code
      You can switch to Java scripting if you want to insert Java codes to perform additional operations such as extending an API or any functions that cannot be performed directly in the simplified script editor.
    - Summary: Get started with functional testing using simplified scripts
      This tutorial has shown you how to set up HCL OneTest™ UI for testing, recording and playing back simplified scripts, creating verification points, performing data-driven tests, and editing the scripts using the application visuals.
  - Create a functional test using Java scripts
    This HCL OneTest™ UI tutorial walks you through the major use cases for creating and playing back functional tests that use Java scripts. This comprehensive tutorial uses a sample Java™ application that is installed with the product.
  - Perform a data-driven functional test using Java scripts
    In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a data-driven functional test using the HCL OneTest™ UI data-driven test wizard.
  - Test Adobe Flex application
    This tutorial walks you through the steps to enable your Adobe Flex application, and test the enabled Flex application from a local test computer using HCL OneTest™ UI. The steps are based on the roles that Flex developers and testers perform.
  - Test GEF applications
    The movies in this tutorial show you how to use HCL OneTest™ UI to test applications that are based on the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It also shows how HCL OneTest UI works with GEF objects.
  - Extend HCL OneTest™ UI capabilities using Proxy SDK
    The movies in this tutorial show you how to extend the HCL OneTest™ UI proxies using the proxy SDK.
