Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes how to automate the playback of the tests by using different methods such as Docker, IBM Cloud Private, Jenkins and so on. The test results can be pushed to HCL® Quality Server.
Configuration of test runs from the UI Test perspective
When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as test runs from the UI Test perspective before you can view their test results.
Configuration of AFT Suite runs
When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as AFT Suite runs before you can view their test results.
Running Web UI tests as an AFT Suite on BrowserStack Cloud
After you create an AFT Suite for Web UI tests, you can run the AFT Suite on devices connected to the BrowserStack Cloud to accelerate the test efforts.

- Configuration of test runs from the UI Test perspective
  When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as test runs from the UI Test perspective before you can view their test results.
  - Configuration of Web UI test runs
    See the different ways to play back Web UI tests.
  - Configuration of mobile test runs
    After you record the tests for mobile applications by using HCL OneTest™ UI, you can play back the recorded tests by using HCL OneTest UI. The test reports help you to analyze the functional and performance issues in the mobile applications developed.
  - Configuration of Windows test runs
    You can run Windows tests that you created for Windows desktop applications in HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Configuration of AFT Suite runs
    When you create Web UI, mobile, or Windows tests, you must configure the play back of the recorded tests as AFT Suite runs before you can view their test results.
    - Accelerating the test effort with distributed testing
      The HCL OneTest™ UI UI Test perspective helps you accelerate the test effort by providing ways to distribute test execution across multiple browsers and multiple computers simultaneously.
    - Playing back an Accelerated Functional Test asset
      After you create an Accelerated Functional Test (AFT) asset for Web UI or Compound tests, you can play back these tests anytime later by using the AFT XML file.
    - Running multiple tests simultaneously
      To maximize test coverage in the shortest possible time, you can set up distributed testing and run several Web UI tests and compound tests simultaneously on several remote computers, for several operating systems and browsers.
    - Running a test using Rational Quality Manager
      Another way to automate your testing is to use IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. With Rational Quality Manager, you can run an individual Web UI test or specify a particular browser to run the test on. You can also accelerate your testing by running the test on all browsers and mobile devices simultaneously or on a selected set of browsers.
    - Running tests from a schedule
      To run multiple Web UI tests in parallel on different browsers, you can add the test to an HCL OneTest™ Performance schedule.
    - Running Web UI tests as an AFT Suite on BrowserStack Cloud
      After you create an AFT Suite for Web UI tests, you can run the AFT Suite on devices connected to the BrowserStack Cloud to accelerate the test efforts.
    - Running mobile tests as an AFT suite
      After you create an Accelerated Functional Test (AFT) suite for mobile tests, you run the AFT suite by using the Run Distributed Tests option.
    - Running mobile tests as an AFT Suite on BitBar Cloud
      After you create an AFT Suite for mobile tests, you can run the AFT Suite on devices connected to BitBar Cloud to accelerate the test efforts.
    - Running mobile tests as an AFT Suite on BrowserStack Cloud
      After you create an AFT Suite for mobile tests, you can run the AFT Suite on multiple devices connected to the BrowserStack Cloud to accelerate the test efforts.
    - Running mobile tests as an AFT Suite on pCloudy Cloud
      After you create an AFT Suite for mobile tests, you can run the AFT Suite on devices connected to pCloudy Cloud to accelerate the test efforts.
    - Running mobile tests as an AFT Suite on Perfecto Cloud
      After you create an AFT Suite for mobile tests, you can run the AFT Suite on devices connected to Perfecto Cloud to accelerate the test efforts.
    - Running mobile tests as an AFT Suite on multiple mobile clouds
      After you create an AFT Suite for mobile tests, you can run the tests simultaneously on devices connected to multiple mobile clouds to accelerate the test efforts.
  - Running a test on multiple browsers and devices simultaneously
    Rather than run a Web UI test on one browser at a time, you can run a single Web UI test on multiple browsers simultaneously. Doing so can significantly speed up your test effort. You can also extend your test coverage by adding mobile devices to the test run. You can run the test from HCL OneTest™ UI, from the command line, or from Rational® Quality Manager. This topic describes how to run a test from the UI Test perspective.
  - Setting a global delay for test steps
    You can set the duration of a global delay in milliseconds between all the steps instead of adding the wait time manually for each of the steps in a recorded test. You can specify this global delay as a preference for the playback of Web UI, Windows, or mobile tests.
  - Configuration of test runs from the command line
    When you need to run Web UI, mobile, and windows tests using the command line without opening the desktop client to run these tests, you can use the command line of HCL OneTest™ UI.
- Configuration of test runs from the Functional Test perspective
  When you created functional tests, you must configure the run of the recorded functional tests from the Functional Test perspective before you can view the test results.

Running Web UI tests as an AFT Suite on BrowserStack Cloud

After you create an AFT Suite for Web UI tests, you can run the AFT Suite on devices connected to the BrowserStack Cloud to accelerate the test efforts.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following task:

Created an AFT Suite with Web UI tests to run on the BrowserStack Cloud. See Creating an AFT Suite to run Web UI tests on BrowserStack Cloud.

Procedure

Open the UI Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI if it is not already open.
Select the project that contains the AFT Suite in the Test Navigator pane.
The AFT Suite that you created for the Web UI tests is located in the Accelerated Functional Tests folder.
Expand the contents of the Accelerated Functional Tests folder to view the AFT XML that is displayed with the name you provided.
Right-click the XML file of the AFT Suite, and then click Run Distributed Tests.
The Run Accelerated Functional Test dialog is displayed.
Note: If you repeat the AFT Suite run because the previous run failed, the Re-run failed tests only from the last playback option is available for selection. When you select this option, the AFT Suite is run on the devices and location on which it previously failed.
Click OK.

Results

You have run the Web UI tests that are in an AFT Suite. The tests run on mobile devices that are connected to the cloud from the location you configured.

The test result is displayed as a unified report in HCL OneTest™ UI.

What to do next

You can view the unified report and choose to export the report. See Unified reports.
