Quality Center - Introduction

Quality Center is an enterprise-wide application that is based on Java 2, EnterpriseEdition (J2EE)technology

Quality Center™ streamlines the quality management process — fromrequirements gathering through planning, scheduling and running tests, todefect/issue tracking and management — in a single browser-based application

Quality Center supports high levels of communication and collaboration among ITteams

Quality Center enables your organization to digitize specific quality processes andprocedures within the larger application lifecycle




Quality Center - Usage

Business analysts define application requirements and testing objectives

Testing team members design test plans and develop test cases

Test automation engineers create automated scripts and store them in therepository

Testers run manual and automated tests, report execution results, and enterdefects

Developers review and fix defects logged into the quality center

Project managers creates testing status reports and manage resource allocations

Product managers decide whether an application is ready to be released




Quality Center has the following default user groups

User Group Permissions

Administrator Administrator g roup members will have full access tothe quality center

Defining Requirements

Tester creates a hierarchical structure, defining the requirementsFor example:

The requirement topic Application Security for a Airline reservation system maybe broken down into the following:



Analyze Requirements

QA managers review the requirements

The requirement is assigned a reviewed status if it is approved



Requirement Module - Requirement Grid View



Requirement Module – Coverage View



Requirement Toolbar

The Requirement toolbar contains the following buttons:

New Requirement: Adds a new Requirement

New Child Requirement: Adds a new Requirement to the requirement tree

Cut: Moves a new Requirement to a new location in the requirement tree

Copy: Copies a selected Requirement to another location in the requirementtree




New Requirement

Click the new requirement button the new requirement tab opens up

Planning Tests (Test Plan Module)




Defining Test Strategy

Outline a strategy for achieving your test requirements. Ask yourself two basic questions.

How should you test your application?

1. Which testing techniques will you use( stress test, security tests, performance,functional load tests etc.)?

2. How will you handle the defects (severity classification, authorization to openand close defects etc.)?

What resources do you require?

1. What resources do you require in order to test (personnel, hardware etc.)?

2. When will the various tasks be completed?




Defining Test Subjects

Consider the hierarchical relationship of functions in your application

Divide the functions into subjects and build a test plan tree representing youapplications functionality.




Planning Tests

Plan the tests for each subject in your test plan tree

Decide which type of tests to create for each subject

Then create the tests and assign them to each branch of test plan tree.




Creating requirements coverage

Link each test in the test plan tree with a requirements in the requirements tree

By defining the requirements coverage for a test you can keep track of the

relationship between the tests in your test plan and your original testing

requirements




Designing Test Steps

Design the Tests in your test plan tree

Create test steps describing the operations to perform and the expected results

After you design the test steps decide whether to perform the test manually or

to automate it




Analyzing Test plan

Review Test Plan to determine how well it meets the goals thatwere defined at the beginning of Testing process

Analyze the Test plan by generating reports and Graphs




Test Plan - Tree View




Test plan – Grid View

Displays all the test in a QC project. Each column is a separate data item




Creating Test Plan Tree

To create a test plan tree:

Choose the Subject Folder in the test plan tree

Click the New Test Button or choose the Test> New Folder

Click the test script tab to view the test script

For displaying the tool in the testing tool Click the Launch button




Creating Test Sets

Start by creating test sets and choosing which tests to include in each test set

A test set is a group of tests in Quality Center project designed to achieve specifictesting goals




Scheduling Test Runs

Quality Center enables to control the execution of test set

One can set condition and schedule the date and time for executing the tests

One can determine that one want to run test 2 only after test 1 has finished andrun test 3 only if test1 passed




Running Test Manually

Once test set are defined, test execution can start

When a manual test is executed, the test steps are passed or failed on each step,depending on the actual and expected result




Analyzing Test Results

After a test run, while analyze the test results, one has to identify whether a

defect has been detected in the application or if the expected results of the test

need to be updated, if a defect has been found one can create a new defect and

link it to the test run also one can link the existing defect with the test run




The Execution Grid

In the execution grid, the test data is organized and displayed in a grid each linein a test grid displays a separate test record




Creating Test Sets Tree

One can define a hierarchical structure for creating the test sets

Choose View> test sets tree to display the test set tree view

Select the root folder

Folder dialogs opens up

Type the folder name as per the naming convention

To create additional folders one needs to repeat above steps

After a test sets tree, one can add test sets to the folders




Adding a Test Set

To add a test to a test set grid

Display the test set tree by choosing View> test set tree. In the test sets tree andchoose the test sets> new test set

Displays the test set grid by choosing View> test set grid. Click the new test setbutton or choose the test set > New test set




Adding a Test Set

If a test set dialog box is opened from the test set grid, click the browsebutton in the test set folder and chose a folder

Type the test set name as per the naming convention

Type the description of the test set

Click ok to add the test set




Adding Tests to a Test Set

After you have defined a test set, you can add tests from the test plan tree, ortests covering requirements from the requirements tree, to the test set

To add tests to a test set:

Select a test set from the test sets tree or test sets grid.

In the Execution Grid tab or Execution Flow tab, click the Select Tests

button. By default, the right pane displays the test plan tree in the Test PlanTree tab. If you click the Requirements Tree tab, the tests are displayedaccording to associated requirements

In the Test Plan Tree tab, select a folder or test to add to the test set. Notethat if you select a folder, all of the tests in the folder are added to the testset. Alternatively, in the Requirements Tree tab, select a requirement or test to addto the test set. Note that if you select a requirement, all of the tests that areassociated with the requirement are added to the test set

Click the Add Tests to Test Set button. If prompted, click Yes to confirm




Managing Test Sets

During the testing process :

One can search for test set

Remove tests from a test set

Delete folders or test set

Create folders or test sets

One can also delete test run results from a test set





In the execution grid tab or the execution flow tab, select the test you want to runmanually

To run a single manual test select the test and click the run button the manualrunner dialog box opens
