    - Task flow for integrating Azure DevOps with HCL OneTest™ UI
      The table shows the task flow for integrating Azure DevOps with HCL OneTest™ UI by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension. You must perform these tasks in sequence as listed in the following table. The table also provides you the links to the information about the tasks.
    - Installing the HCL OneTest Studio extension
      You must install the HCL OneTest Studio extension in your Azure DevOps organization before you use the extension to run tests for your application in an Azure DevOps pipeline. The HCL OneTest Studio extension supports running of tests created in HCL OneTest™ UI.
    - Running functional tests in an Azure DevOps Pipeline
      After you create the tests in HCL OneTest™ UI for the application that you are testing, and after you install the HCL OneTest Studio extension in your organization, you can run the tests in Azure DevOps pipelines.
  - Testing with Cucumber
    Starting with HCL OneTest™ UI 9.2, you can take advantage of Cucumber integration to create, annotate, and run functional test scripts that can be easily understood by all members of the team.
  - Integrating and running Functional Test scripts in Micro Focus Application Life Cycle Management
    To obtain test result details, you can integrate and run Functional Test scripts in Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management by using a ready-made template available in the HCL OneTest™ UI installation directory.
  - Configuration of test runs as a GitHub Actions Workflow
    You can configure test runs of test resources that are in a project repository of HCL OneTest™ UI in a GitHub Actions Workflow. You can choose to run test resources that are in the project in the GitHub Workflow when you want to run the test resources without opening the HCL OneTest UI.
  - Testing with IBM® Engineering Test Management
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM® Engineering Test Management. You can execute the functional test scripts from HCL OneTest UI.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ UI - Functional Test to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting with v9.2, you can use the Maven plug-in to run Functional Test scripts. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM). You can use the Maven plug-in that is provided to run tests as part of your Maven build.
  - Testing with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (formerly known as Rational Team Concert). You can manage functional test assets by using the Jazz™ source control management that the Jazz Eclipse Client provides. You must have a compatible version of IBM Engineering Workflow Management server set up to use the Jazz source control management.
  - Testing with Tivoli Composite Application Manager
    HCL OneTest™ UI can be integrated with IBM Tivoli® Composite Application Manager. You can schedule the interval at which the application manager agent runs to track the response time and generate logs using HCL OneTest UI scripts.
  - Integration with HCL® Launch
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with HCL® Launch to run tests as a Process from HCL Launch.
  - Testing with UrbanCode™ Deploy
    You can run functional test scripts remotely with the HCL OneTest™ UI - Functional Test plugin for UrbanCode™ Deploy.
