ALM Octane - The Basic of Test Management

Learn how ALM Octane's quality module organizes releases across application modules, tracks test execution and defects, and uses the dashboard for live release reporting and progress.

Learn to create a manual test in ALM Octane by filling required fields, linking to stories, and adding steps such as open the app, enter credentials, login, and validate.

Reuse tests with call step to assemble a manual test by calling catalog browsing, product review, and check categories, with automatic updates propagating across all reused steps.

Plan manual test runs in ALM Octane by opening the quality module, defining name, release, sprint, environment, data sets, and assignee, then monitor planned and executed runs.

Manage different versions of a test case for different releases using a test kit, track revisions, and compare latest versus older versions for production and release testing.

Learn to execute manual runs assigned to you by navigating to my work or the home button, then selecting the run to execute and record its pass or fail status.

Create and execute a test suite in ALM Octane by adding manual or existing tests, filtering to select relevant tests, and running the suite to view results.

Plan a subset of test cases from a test suite for a test run using the planning tab in the quality module, then add missed tests to the suite run.

Learn to plan up to five test suites at once for a larger test cycle, assign default environments, designate an owner, and manage regression and release testing in ALM Octane.

Create a personalized last test runs view on the dashboard by configuring filters, using native status, and selecting visualizations to compare manual and automated tests across releases.

Master configuring the manual testing progress widget in the ALM Octane dashboard, including release, sprint, milestones, and time period filters, with display options from bar to area graphs.

Demonstrate auto-populated relation linking defects to requirements during test execution, enabling automatic association of defects to user stories, requirements, or features for traceability.

Import manual tests and test suites from an Excel template into ALM Octane. Use a downloadable template with two sheets, ensuring unique IDs and a valid data skeleton before import.

Export test cases from ALM Octane for XML-based reports in Excel or for re-importing and updating artifacts. Include steps and unique IDs, and reuse in new or existing workspaces.

Explore how Jira synchronization enables end-to-end test management and quality control by linking user stories, test cases, runs, and defects in real time.

Learn to manage requirements, test coverage, execution, and release reporting using the requirements module, including creating coverage, linking tests to application modules, planning runs, and interpreting the heat map.
