Learn Test management using HP ALM / QC (Quality Center)

Explore the Quality Center test management process from requirements to tests to defects, including linking requirements and tests and executing tests in the test lab.

Learn how Quality Center appears, log in, and connect to your domain and project. Explore the key modules like dashboard, releases, requirements, test plan, test lab, and defects.

Learn to use the release management module in Quality Center to create releases and cycles. Define release scope, dates, and testing cycles from new features to regression and smoke testing.

Explore release management in ALM: a project manager-led process that splits a project into multiple releases and cycles, assigns requirements and test cases, tracks scope, milestones, and defects.

Demonstrate release module management in Quality Center by creating releases, cycles, milestones, and scope, with the project manager owning and tracking progress via master plans.

Learn how to use the Quality Center requirements module to capture functional and non functional needs, assign them to release cycles, and map them to test cases.

Learn to create and assign requirements in quality center, link them to releases and cycles, and map them to test cases for automatic requirement traceability.

Outline the test plan module as a detailed testing approach and planning structure. Manage test cases, parameters, and reuse through copying, calling, and import/export.

Explore the test plan module in Quality Center, build a test plan tree with folders and projects, design test cases with steps and parameters, and map them to requirements.

Design tests and test steps in the test plan module of HP ALM / QC. Create test cases under folders with descriptions and steps, detailing expected results for each step.

Learn to copy test cases and steps, create and manage test parameters, and call tests in the HP ALM QC test plan module to streamline test design and execution.

Map each test case to its requirement via the requirement coverage tab in the test plan module to establish traceability and monitor coverage.

Install the Microsoft Excel add-in for HP ALM QC and export test cases from Excel to Quality Center using guided steps to download, install, and verify the integration.

Explore how the test lab module enables executing test cases by creating test sets, importing test cases from the test plan, and analyzing results across regression, smoke, and functional testing.

Learn how to structure and manage test lab hierarchies in HP ALM / QC, creating project folders, test sets, and schedules to execute functional, non-functional, smoke, and regression tests.

Create and manage test sets in the test lab, add test cases from the test plan, and execute them with defined dates, statuses, defects, and attachments.

Learn to set up the execution flow for your test set with specific date and time and conditional execution. Manage execution dependencies so test cases run in the desired order.

Learn to execute tests in the HP ALM / QC lab by running test sets, configuring parameters, using the manual runner and compact view, and recording pass or fail results.

Analyze test lab execution results in Quality Center to determine how many test cases passed, failed, or are not completed, and confirm a pass when expected and actual results match.

Learn defect management in Quality Center to report, track, and manage defects throughout their lifecycle, from new or open to fixed and retested, then to close or reopen.

Learn how to report and update defects in HP ALM / QC, including creating new defects, detailing severity, steps to reproduce, attaching screenshots, and tracking developer updates.

Track defects from reporting to closure, including developer fixes and retesting, and learn how to email defects and link them to failed test cases in Quality Center.

Learn how to generate and share comprehensive reports in ALM quality center across requirements, test plan, test lab, and defects, with linking to defects and coverage graphs.

Learn how to manage testing with Quality Center by organizing requirements, test plans, test labs, and defects, and linking defects to failed test cases for clear bug tracking.

Learn how to use dashboards in Quality Center to create customized reports on test execution and defects, and view them in analysis and dashboard views for traceability.
