Tutorials
You can learn to start using HCL OneTest™ UI by reviewing the information in the Tutorials for the UI Test perspective and Functional Test perspective.
- Tutorials for testing in the UI Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Lesson 1: Recording actions on an AUT
    You can learn about recording actions that you perform on a web application in the UI Test perspective.
  - Lesson 2: Creating a verification point
    You can learn about creating a verification point for an action that you recorded on an application under test (AUT). Verification points verify that a certain action has taken place, or they verify the state of a control or an object during the play back of tests.
  - Lesson 3: Running a test
    You can learn about running a test to verify whether a test scenario is played back successfully by HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Lesson 4: Test log and reports
    You can learn about the test log and reports that are generated by HCL OneTest™ UI after a test run is complete. You can use the data in the log and reports to analyze the test results and confirm whether the test run was successful.
  - Lesson 5: Splitting actions in a test
    You can learn about splitting the actions of a test into test segments with different nodes. If a test contains many actions, you can split the test to create multiple nodes with meaningful test segments. You can then perform various actions such as inserting a loop, inserting a condition, and so on to the test segments of the selected nodes. You can also move a node from the existing test to a new test, and add the new test to a compound test that consists of various other tests that can be run sequentially.
  - Lesson 6: Creating a dataset
    You can learn about creating a dataset for a test so that you can fetch the variable dataset values at the run time. A dataset is a collection of related data records that you can use to substitute the data in the test.
  - Lesson 7: Associating a dataset with a test
    You can learn about associating a dataset with a recorded test to add actual data to the test during the playback. The associated dataset is accessed during the playback of the test and the actual data in the test is substituted with the variable data in the dataset.
  - Lesson 8: Creating a compound test
    You can learn about creating a compound test with multiple tests. Every individual test within the compound test performs a part of the main scenario. When you run the compound test, the individual tests are run in sequence.
  - Lesson 9: Adding a loop
    You can learn about adding a loop to a test so that the test runs repeatedly for a specified number of time, while fetching values from an associated dataset. You can either select a count-based, a time-based, or an infinite loop for the test. You can set the loop to infinite if you want the test to fetch the data from all the rows in a dataset.
- Tutorials for testing in the Functional Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the Functional Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI.
- Tutorials for testing in the Visual Studio IDE
  HCL OneTest™ UI tutorials contain educational materials to help you learn the technologies and concepts behind products.

Lesson 3: Running a test

You can learn about running a test to verify whether a test scenario is played back successfully by HCL OneTest™ UI.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Generated a Web UI test. See Lesson 1: Recording actions on an AUT.
Created a verification point for an action that you recorded in the test. See Lesson 2: Creating a verification point.
Read and been familiar with Think time. See Editing Web UI tests.
Ensured that the Test Contents panel of the test editor window is displayed.

About this task

For the test scenario in this tutorial, you can run the recorded test on the Google Chrome browser.

Note: Before the test run, you can remove any waiting time (Think time) that you spent on a control or a test line.

Procedure

Click Run Test in the test editor window of the UI Test perspective.

The Confirm Perspective Switch dialog is displayed.
Click Switch to run the test in the Test Execution perspective.
Select Chrome in the Run Configuration dialog.
Click Finish.

The test run begins.

Results

You have learned to run a test.

At the end of the test run, HCL OneTest™ UI generates the test log and reports.

What to do next

You can learn about the test log and reports that are generated by HCL OneTest™ UI. See Lesson 4: Test log and reports.
