Configuring the process

You must configure the process that you created for the component to organize the steps in the process, specify the properties of the steps, and connect them.

Before you begin

About this task

When you open any process to configure, the process is displayed in the process editor. The process editor lists the plugins and steps. The required Start and Finish steps represent the beginning and the end of the process and are automatically placed on the design area.

You must provide the values for certain fields in the properties for the selected test step to run tests from HCL® Launch. The minimum fields that you need to configure are Name, Workspace, Project, and Test Suite Name or Config File. The remaining fields are optional.

For example, if you provide a complete path of a configuration file that contains the parameters for a test run in the Config File field, then you need not provide values for the Workspace, Project, and Test Suite Name fields.

Note: If HCL OneTest™ UI is not installed in default location, then you must provide the value for the IMShared Location field along with other mandatory fields.
