    - HCL OneTest™ API and Apache Maven
      Apache Maven is a software build tool that is based on the concept of a Project Object Model (POM). You can use the Maven plug-in that is provided for HCL OneTest™ API to run integration tests and test suites as part of your Maven build.
    - Integration with Azure DevOps
      When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in HCL OneTest™ API and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with HCL OneTest API by using the IBM Rational Test Workbench extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
    - HCL OneTest™ API and change management tools
      HCL OneTest™ API can be integrated with the OSLC-compliant Change Management Integration Providers such as Rational® Team Concert™. It can also be integrated with Team Foundation Server Change Management Integration Providers (such as Microsoft™ Team Foundation Server), and Atlassian Jira. After integration, defects and projects can be tracked directly through Rational Team Concert.
    - HCL OneTest™ API and Git
      The Git integration feature provides a flexible test asset management method to track, back up, and collaborate on a project with multiple users. Collaborators in Git can import projects and test assets from shared repositories into HCL OneTest™ API and contribute their own assets and changes to the project so that everyone has access to the changes.
    - HCL OneTest™ API and HP Quality Center
      The HCL OneTest™ API add-in for HP Quality Center provides a way to integrate the powerful test creation and execution functionality of HCL OneTest API with the organizational structures provided by Quality Center.
    - HCL OneTest™ API and IBM® Engineering Test Management
      When you integrate HCL OneTest™ API with Engineering Test Management, you can run HCL OneTest API tests and suites in the centralized test management environment of Engineering Test Management.
    - HCL OneTest™ API and Rational® Quality Manager
      The integration of HCL OneTest™ API with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager enables the execution of HCL OneTest API tests and suites in Rational Quality Manager centralized test management environment.
      - Setting up the integration with Rational Quality Manager

        Configuring the agent
        HCL OneTest™ API Agent can be configured as an IBM® Rational® Quality Manager adapter to enable remote test execution.
      - Working with resources in Rational Quality Manager
        Once the HCL OneTest™ API-IBM® Rational® Quality Manager integration is complete, you can export tests and test suites from HCL OneTest API into Rational Quality Manager. Exported tests and test suites are created as test cases and test scripts in Rational Quality Manager.
      - Troubleshooting: Rational Quality Manager
        You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you work with Rational® Quality Manager.
    - Integration with Rational Software Architect Designer
      With Rational® Software Architect Designer, you can design an organization's services, which include technical description, technical documentation, and links to other technical documentation. As a tester, you can pull this information into HCL OneTest™ API by using a WSDL or WADL add operation and populate the Architecture School quickly and accurately. HCL OneTest API parses the added documents in a way that you can directly use them in your testing.
    - HCL OneTest™ API and Jenkins
      When you use Jenkins for the continuous integration (CI) of your application, you can run tests for testing your application. You can run tests created in HCL OneTest™ API for your application in Jenkins by using the Integration Tester Jenkins plugin.
