- Installation
  You can find information about the installation of HCL OneTest™ UI.
- License management
  Licensing for HCL OneTest™ UI is administered through HCL Software License & Download portal. This portal is a FlexNet-based web application that helps to manage software entitlements and licenses.
- Starting HCL OneTest™ UI from the command line
  You can start HCL OneTest™ UI from the desktop environment or a command-line interface.
- Software configuration management
  You can integrateHCL OneTest™ UI with the software configuration management systems to maintain an auditable and repeatable history of your organization's test assets.
- Integrations in UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Web UI Test perspective.
- Integrations in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Functional Test perspective.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugins that are required to integrate Jenkins, Ant, HCL® Launch, and UrbanCode™ Deploy with HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Testing with Ant
    You can use ant to run functional tests from the command line. Starting with version 2.0 of the ant plugin, you can run multiple tests simultaneously.
  - Testing with Azure DevOps for functional tests
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in HCL OneTest™ UI and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with HCL OneTest UI by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
  - 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.
  - Testing with 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.
  - Testing with IBM® Engineering Test Management in the Visual Studio IDE
    HCL OneTest™ UI in the Visual Studio environment supports integration with IBM® Engineering Test Management.
  - Testing 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.
  - Testing with HCL® Launch
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with HCL® Launch to run tests as a Process from HCL Launch.
    - Installing the plugin on HCL® Launch
      You must install the HCL OneTest™ UI Launch plugin to run tests from HCL® Launch.
    - Creating a component in HCL® Launch
      You must create a component to include artifacts and processes. The artifacts include runnable files, images, databases, configuration instructions. Whereas the processes define the activities that components can perform.
    - Creating a process in HCL® Launch
      You must create a process for the component to include step properties for the test that you want to run from HCL® Launch.
    - 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.
    - Creating a resource in HCL® Launch
      You must create a resource to associate agents with components that you created in HCL® Launch.
    - Configuring the resource
      You must configure the resource to add an agent and associate the agent with the component.
    - Creating an application in HCL® Launch
      You must create an application to fetch all the components together that you want to deploy.
    - Configuring the application
      You must configure the application to associate resources with environments and define processes to run tests.
    - Running tests from HCL® Launch
      You can run the functional tests for your application under test from HCL® Launch as a Process.
  - Testing with UrbanCode™ Deploy
    You can run functional test scripts remotely with the HCL OneTest™ UI - Functional Test plugin for UrbanCode™ Deploy.
