  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.
  - 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 compound tests and Web UI tests from the command-line interface.
  - Testing with Azure DevOps for UI 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 EGit
    You can store your test assets in the remote Git repository and use EGit for version control operations. EGit is an Eclipse plugin for the Git version control system.
  - 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 Workflow Management
    You can manage test assets with Jazz™ source control management by integrating the test workbench with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (formerly known as Rational® Team Concert™) Eclipse client.
  - Testing with Engineering Test Management
    You can integrate IBM® Engineering Test Management (formerly known as IBM Rational® Quality Manager) with HCL OneTest™ UI to initiate test runs from Engineering Test Management.
    - Configuring the ETM adapter
      You must configure the Engineering Test Management adapter to establish a successful connection between HCL OneTest™ UI and Engineering Test Management.
    - Configuring the workspace directory of the adapter
      You must configure the workspace directory of the adapter to start or stop the Engineering Test Management adapter from command-line interface.
    - Connecting and disconnecting the ETM adapter from the GUI mode
      You can use the Quality Manager Adapter view to connect, disconnect, and view adapter activities from HCL OneTest™ UI.
    - Starting and stopping the ETM adapter from the command line
      You can use the command-line interface to start, stop, and view activities of the Engineering Test Management adapter that you configured in HCL OneTest™ UI.
    - Importing test assets into Engineering Test Management
      You can import the functional tests into Engineering Test Management by using an adapter.
    - Testing shared assets
      You can make test projects and assets shareable in Rational® Quality Manager. By sharing assets, any computer with your product, that is connected to Rational Quality Manager can execute a test or schedule.
    - Troubleshooting: Unable to open unified reports
      When you try to open the unified report that is published to the Engineering Test Management after the test run, the report fails to open in the browser.
  - Testing with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ UI - UI Test Jenkins plugin to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting from 9.2.0, you can use the Maven plug-in that is provided with the testing product to run tests as part of your Maven build. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM).
  - Testing with Micro Focus ALM
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to run test assets from Micro Focus ALM.
  - Testing with HCL OneTest™ API
    You can use HCL OneTest™ API extension to run API tests from HCL OneTest UI. You can either import the projects from HCL OneTest API or manage them from HCL OneTest UI by establishing the connection between the products. You can also create a compound test to run the tests by using the Agents.
  - Testing 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
    With the HCL OneTest™ UI plugin for UrbanCode™ Deploy, you can automate the execution of tests and compound tests.
- Integrations in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Functional Test perspective.

Starting and stopping the Engineering Test Management adapter from the command line

You can use the command-line interface to start, stop, and view activities of the Engineering Test Management adapter that you configured in HCL OneTest™ UI.

Before you begin

You must have performed the following tasks:

Configured the adapter in HCL OneTest™ UI. See Configuring the Engineering Test Management adapter.
Configured the workspace directory of the adapter. See Configuring the workspace directory of the adapter.

About this task

When you run test assets from the command-line interface, the adapter activities are printed to the adapter.log file that can be accessed from product_install_dir\HOT-UI_RQMAdapter\logs.

To print the current status of the adapter, you must navigate to the product_install_dir\HOT-UI_RQMAdapter\bin directory, and then you can run the RQMAdapter.bat STATUS command.

Where, product_install_dir is the installation directory of HCL OneTest™ UI.

Warning: You must not use HCL OneTest™ UI while the adapter is running. You must stop the adapter before you open HCL OneTest™ UI for any reason.

Procedure

Open a command-line interface.
Navigate to the product_install_dir\HOT-PERF_RQMAdapter\bin\ directory.

Perform the following step either to start or stop the adapter:

Run the following command to start the adapter from the command line:

Operating system	Command to be run
Windows™	RQMAdapter.bat START
Linux™	RQMAdapter.sh START

Run the following command to stop the adapter from the command line:

Operating system	Command to be run
Windows™	RQMAdapter.bat STOP
Linux™	RQMAdapter.sh STOP

Results

You have started or stopped the Engineering Test Management adapter from the command-line interface.
