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.
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.

- 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.
  - 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 a single Web UI 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.

Procedure

To open a test, double-click it in the Test Navigator view. The test opens in the Test Editor.
In the Test Editor, click Run Test to open the Run Configuration window.
Select Run on several devices and browsers in parallel.

You can now choose to run the test in parallel using any or all browsers, devices, and emulators that are listed. All supported web browsers that are installed on your computer are displayed. To run a test on a mobile device or emulator, the device must be connected and must be in passive mode.
Click Finish.

Results

By default, a UI Test Report is displayed automatically in real-time during a test run. The report displays the name and location of the test, the test execution status, the Web application under test, the duration of the test, and finally, each step in the test. When you run the test in parallel across multiple browsers and mobile devices, you see a single, consolidated report that lists each browser and device on which the test was run.

Consolidated report

In addition, you can learn how long it took each step to run on each browser and device by viewing the UI Test Statistical Report and clicking the Step Performance tab. For example, you can see in the Performance Summary shown below that the first step took 122ms to run in Internet Explorer, 19 ms to run in Chrome, and 42 ms to run on the Android Atom Emulator. You can use this information to help you compare the performance of the application under test across different browsers.

Step-wise response time comparison

The UI Test Statistical Report is displayed at the end of the test run in a separate tab from the UI Test Report. The UI Test Statistical Report is displayed in the Test Execution perspective.
