    - 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 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.
    - 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.
    - Rational Integration Tester and UrbanCode Deploy
      When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application that are created in HCL OneTest™ API. You can run the tests from UCD by using the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest API or the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest Virtualization
      - Installing the UCD plugin
        You must install the latest version of the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ API or the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest Virtualization on the UrbanCode™ Deploy server to integrate HCL OneTest Server or HCL OneTest Virtualization with UrbanCode Deploy, and then run tests on the UrbanCode Deploy server.
      - Running tests on the UCD server
        After you install the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ API or the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest Virtualization on the UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) server, you can create a process request that contains the test for your application, and then run the test on the UCD server.

Rational Integration Tester and UrbanCode Deploy

When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application that are created in HCL OneTest™ API. You can run the tests from UCD by using the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ API or the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ Virtualization

UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ API

With the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ API, you can run a test, a test suite, or a performance test defined in a HCL OneTest™ API project.

UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ Virtualization

Service Virtualization helps you to automate the testing of integration in complex application environments much earlier in the development life cycle. You can use the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest™ Virtualization for creating virtual services that model the services on which your application depends. You can virtualize services that are accessed through various technologies, including HTTP, MQ, JMS, JDBC, TCP/IP, CICS-TG, IMS Connect, SAP, and Software AG web methods.
