Overview
With the HCL OneTest Performance plug-in for HCL Launch, you can automate the execution of tests, compound tests, and schedules. To initiate a service test run, you must install either the SOA extension as part of HCL OneTest Performance or install Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality on the target computer.
For a performance test, install HCL OneTest Performance on the target computer where the test will be run. When you run a schedule, ensure that the workbench is connected to the agent computers. If you run a schedule on the cloud, you must be aware of how much the run is going to cost you.
Compatibility
This plug-in requires version 7.1 of HCL Launch.
This plug-in requires version 8.7 or later of HCL OneTest Performance and HCL OneTest Performance Agents.
Installation
No special steps are required for the installation of the plug-in. See Installing plug-ins in HCL Launch documentation.

Usage
Use the HCL OneTest Performance plug-in to continuously initiate the launch of tests, compound tests, and schedules from HCL Launch.
Before you begin
- Install HCL OneTest Performance version 10.1 or later and HCL Launch agent on computers where the tests will be run.
- Install HCL Launch server and deploy the HCL OneTest Performance plug-in in the server.
For information about installing HCL Launch, see its documentation.
- To initiate a service test run, you must install either the SOA extension as part of HCL OneTest Performance or install Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality on the target computer.
About the task
As a tester, you might have a large number of regression tests to run on the latest build of the product. Instead of manually running the tests on every new build, you can just install the latest build on the HCL Launch Agent computer and let HCL Launch start the tests for you.
After deploying the HCL OneTest Performance plug-in on the server, you must create the component and its processes, the applications and its processes, the environments, and the resources. For information about how to create these different pieces, see HCL Launch documentation.
After creating these pieces, you must create the testing workflow.
Procedure to create a workflow
- To create a workflow for the newly created component process, click the component process. The Tools view displays the available plug-in steps.
- From HCL OneTest Studio > HCL OneTest Performance, drag the Run an HCL OneTest Performance test step to the design space.
- Specify the properties for the step. For information about the properties, see the Steps page.
- After you configure the step properties, save the step.
