QUALITY CENTER Quality Center is a Test management tool which has developed

by mercury interactive corporation and now it is acquired by

HP.

Test Management Tool: A tool which we are using to manage theentire testing process is called Test Management Tool. In this

tool we can manage Requirements, TC’s, Executing TC’s and also

reporting Defects.

Note: Latest version of Quality Center is 11.0

There are two different types of components in Quality Center.

(as you can see from the below example Figure 1.0 after installing Quality

Center the two components attached on the desktop)

1. Site Administration2. Quality CenterFigure 1.0

Site Administration: This is admin’s activity. In this

component, Admin will create the domain, add the resources,

create the projects and assign the resources to the projects.

CREATING DOMAIN: In this, the Site Administrator i.e.,admin will create an empty domains. Consider a scenario that

some ABC company has got an INSURANCE project, and then admin

will create the INSURANCE domain in site administration as

follows.,

Now totally we have Three steps for One test case, asshown in the below figure

Note: Likewise you can add any number of Test cases by repeating the

above procedure and add the multiple steps to each test case.

Requirements Mapping: After we design TC’s or uploaded

TC’s from excel sheet to quality center we need to map the

each test case with its equivalent or concerned requirement,

which is useful for traceability matrix.

Navigation:

Click on the Test Plan Tab, as shown in the below figure.






59

Select the Test Case and Click on Requirement CoverageButton and then click on Select Req Button in that, asshown in the below figure.

Case present on the left side of the window with the

“Proj1_Cancel” requirement present on the right side ofthe window, in order to do this first select the

Proj1_Cancel Requirement and click on the left arrow ( Add to Coverage, from below example figure) present on thetop of that requirement window to map that requirement

with the Proj1_ValidateCancel Button, as shown in the

below figure.






60

Now you can see we have mapped Proj1_ValidateCancelButton on the left side of the window with the Proj1_Cancelrequirement on the right side of the window using Add toCoverage option in the Select Requirement window, as

shown in the below figure.

Likewise we will map all the test cases with itsappropriate requirements so that it will be easy for usto conduct the traceability matrix. As shown in the belowthree example figures we have mapped them.

Mapped requirement with the test case






61

Traceability matrix report : After completion of designing

all the TC’s in Test Plan, we need to conduct Traceability

Matrix Report to verify whether every Requirement has covered

in the form TC or not. We can conduct Traceability Matrix

directly in QC or outside QC.

Navigation for conducting Traceability Matrix in QC :

Map all the requirements with TC’s -> Go to Requirements Tab -

> Analysis






62

In analysis column, select Reports -> Tabular Report






63

Now you can see the report with Requirement name and Status

Different Status :

1. Not Covered : Requirement has not covered in TC2. Passed : Requirement is having TC and TC was passed3. No Run : Requirement is having TC and not executed4. Failed : Requirement is having TC and TC was failed

Calling one test case to another test case:Some times we need to execute same Test case for multiple

times in other Test Cases. In that case we need not to design

the same TC for again and again. By using “Call to Test”

option we call one TC into another TC.

Please find the below navigation.

Click on Test Plan -> Select Test Case






64

Right click on Test Case -> Click on Call to Test

Select TC which you want to call






65

Click on OK

Your TC has called into another TC like below.






66

Test Lab: Test lab is the place where we can execute the

test cases in quality center. Before executing the test cases

we need to pull the test cases from test plan to test lab tabin a sequential executable format this we call it as a test

lab setup or test set or test bed.

Test Lab Setup: Before executing the test cases we need topull the test cases from the test plan to test lab in a

sequential executable format. This we call it as a test lab

setup or test set or test bed or Test Suit.

Cycle: All the test cases executed for one time that we callit as Cycle.

Iteration: Whenever we complete all the steps in a single testcase then we will call it as Iteration.

Navigation for Test Lab Setup:

Click on the Test Lab Tab, as shown in the below figure.






67

Create an Empty folder for a Project (Ex: Proj1) byclicking on New Folder button.

It opens New Folder Dialogue box in that enter the nameof the project as Proj1 and then click on OK button, asshown in the below figure.

Now select the project folder and click on the New TestSet button, as shown in the below figure.






68

Now it open New Test Set dialogue box, in that give thename of the Test Set as Cycle1, after that click on OK

button, as shown in the below figure.

Test on the right side of the window to open the mapped test cases on the right side of the window, as shown inthe below figure.

Step1: Project Selected Here

Step 2: Click on New Test Set






69

Now select your test cases in the order from the test plan on the right side of the window and then click onthe arrow button to setup the test lab, before execution,

as shown in the below figure.

In the above example we have changed the order of the test cases according to their

execution but not according to their design, always the execution of the test cases takes

place in a sequential and executable form but not according to their design






70

After completion of setup test lab once, then we need to start

executing the test cases on the application from test lab tab

of quality center.

Test Execution: Once the application has developed and thathas been deployed into the testing environment we need to

start executing the test cases from the test lab tab in

quality center.

In Test Lab we can execute TC’s in 3 different ways.

1. Run Manually2. Continue Manual Run3. Run test Set1. Run Manually : By using this option we can run TC from

first Step.

We are using this option when we are executing TC first

time

Navigation:

Click on the Test Lab Tab, as shown in the below figure.

Select the Test Set, as shown in the below figure.






71

Select the Test Case in that Test Set which we are goingto execute and then click on RUN Button. As shown in the

below figure.

It opens Manual Runner Dialogue box in that select and

click on the Begin Run button. As shown in the belowfigure.

Execute every step by comparing expected result with theactual result and give the status and click on end run

button

Step 1: From here we are selecting the appropriate step number for testing






72

Step 2 : From here we are seeing the description and opening the

application and checking whether the cancel button is there are not, if it is

there, then we are checking whether it is disabled or not.

Step 3 : From this expected result column we are comparing that with actual result of the application and if expected result and actual result matches with each other then we

are changing the status as passed else we are changing the status as fail (as shown in thebelow figure, changing the status)

In this figure we arechanging the status of

the step 1 as passedbecause its expected

result matches with

the actual result (asshown in the below

figure more precisely)

Now you can see we have

successfully run the test scriptand compared the expected

result with actual result and

they both matched with eachother and we changed status

as assed.






73

2. Continue Manual Run : By using this option we run TCfrom stopped position.

Navigation : Select Run dropdown

Click on Continue Manual Run

Now see in this figure, the step 2 is failed, and always remember that if any one of the step

is failed in the entire test case the test case itself is failed, and if any test case is passedmeans it has successfully passed all the steps involved in that test case, now see in the

above mentioned figure the test case is failed at step 2 and we have to treat this failed step

as a defect and we need to report it to development team through defect reporting life cycle.






74

Click on begin Run

Execute your Test Case from last stopped Step






75

3. RUN TEST SET : Normally we are executing one TC at atime in Test Lab. But some times we need to execute allthe TC’s of Test Lab at a time. That is possible by usingthis option.

Navigation :

Open Test Lab -> Select Test Set -> Click on Run Test Set-> Select Manual Runner Radio button

Now First TC in Test Set will open -> Click ob begin Run






76

Execute All the steps in First TC

After completion of First TC, Second TC will open

automatically -> Click ob Begin Run

Now you can execute second TC also






77

Defects Reporting: At the time of execution if there is any

mismatch between the expected result and actual result we need

to mark the status of the step as failed and we need to report

a defect to the development team from the failed step of the

test case.

Navigation:

Mark the status of the step as failed, as shown in the below figure.
