Publishing test results to HCL OneTest™ Server

The test result indicates the quality of the application under test. Different stakeholders to the application might want to check the quality of application but do not have HCL OneTest™ API installed. You can publish the test result reports to HCL OneTest™ Server so that others can view it from a web browser.
