HP Quality Center is Web based Test Management tool. We can access Quality Center over the internet or intranet,
via a Web browser. It involves interrelated steps such as defining release, developing requirement, designing and
execution of tests, monitoring and reporting defects. Quality Center simplifies and organizes application management
by giving us systematic control over the process. It helps in creating framework and foundation for application
management workflow. Quality center features a system for organizing and tracking application release, enabling us
to align business priorities and quality expectation with our projects requirement, test and defects.
Requirement Module: Helps us to manage requirements. This includes defining what we are testing,
defining requirement topics and items, also analyzing requirements.
Test Plan: Enable us to develop and manage test in a hierarchical tree-structure. Tests can be linked to
requirement and defects.
Test Resources: Enables us to manage test resources in a hierarchical tree structure. Tests resources can
be associated with tests.
Defect Module: Helps us to report defects, determine, repair priorities and reopen defects.

Requirement Traceability defines a relationship between two or more requirements. When analyzing the impact of a
change proposed in specific requirements, the traceability links indicate the other requirements in the requirements
tree; we can establish traceability between the requirements. Using this tab in the Requirement Details view, you can
add traceability link to and from selected requirement. Trace from links indicates requirements that affect a selected
requirement. Trace to links indicates requirements that are affected by a selected requirement. When a requirement
change QC alerts the affected requirements this can be seen by all users. QC sends email notification to the authors
of the affected requirements.
Convert Requirement to test: convert requirement to test in a specified subject in the test plan tree. We can
convert selected requirement or all requirements in the requirements tree.
Generate a test from requirements: convert requirement to a test in a specified subject in the test plan tree
and a specified test set in the Test Lab modules. This method enables us to quickly run a test when
analyzing our requirements.
9. QC will fire the tests in the sequence configured in the Execution Flow pane. The Test Run Scheduler will show all
the tests that were selected and are executing and are to be executed.
Delete only Test Runs: In this we can select a period of time before which we want to delete test run result
Delete only Run Steps: In this we can select a period of time before which we want to delete run steps.
Test in the test set fails due to reason other than the test logic itself, Environmental failure could include. Ex.
Functional call not returning access violations, version incompatibility between application components, a
missing DLL.
All tests in the test set that were run have been finished running. But this does not include tests that are not
executed.
Matching Defects enables us to eliminate duplicate or similar defects in project. When we add a new defect, QC
stores list of keywords from the Summary and Description Fields. When we search for similar defects, keywords in
these fields are matched against other defects. Keywords are more than two characters and they are not case
sensitive. We have two methods to conduct search of similar defects.
Finding similar Defects: compare a selected defect with all other existing defects in project.
Finding similar Text: compare a specific test string against all other existing defects in project.
Adding Defects: After finding new defect we submit to QC project. The project stores defect information
that can be accessed by authorized users.
Reviewing New Defects: Reviewing all new defects and decide which one to fix.
Testing a New Application Build: Run test on the new build of the application.
Analyzing Defect Data: View Defect Report to see how many defects were resolved, and how many still
remain open.
Requirement Module Reports: Standard Requirements, Tabular, Requirement with coverage test,
requirement with Coverage test and Steps, requirement with linked Defects, requirements with Traceability,
report selected.
Test Plan Module Reports: standard test planning, subject tree, tests with design steps, tests with covered
Requirements, tests with linked Defect, report Selected,
Test Lab Module Reports: current test set, cross test set, test set Hierarchy with tests, cross test set with
tests, execution notification.
Defects Module Reports: standard Defects, Tabular defects, fixed or rejected Defects, report selected.
Requirement Module Graphs: requirements summary graph, requirements progress graph, requirements
coverage graph, requirements- trend graph, graph wizard.
Test Plan Module Graphs: test planning summary graph, test planning progress graph, test plan trend
graph, graph wizard,
Test Lab Module Graph: test execution summary graph( current test set), test execution progress
graph(current test set), test execution summary graph(cross test set), test execution progress graph(cross
test set) , graph wizard.
Defect Module Graph: defect summary graph, defect progress graph, defect age graph, defect trend graph,
graph wizard.
QC helps to maintain project database of test that covers all functionality of application.
QC offers integration with HP testing tools (WinRunner, QTP and Load Runner) as well as third party tools.
QC provides an intuitive and efficient method for scheduling and executing test sets, collecting test results,
and analyzing the data.
Qc helps in defect tracking, enabling to monitor defects closely from initial detection to resolution.
By linking QC to email system, defect tracking information can be shared by all application development,
quality assurance and customer support.
Q18. How to map the requirements with test cases in Quality Centre?
For mapping the requirement with test cases we do:
1. In requirements tab select coverage view
2. Select requirement by clicking on parent/child or grandchild
3. On right hand side (In coverage view window) another window will appear. It has two tabs:
-Tests coverage
-Details
Test coverage tab will be selected by default or you click on it.
4. Click on select tests button a new window will appear on right hand side and you will see a list of all tests. You cans
elect any test case you want to map with your requirements.
We can use Filter on Quality Center data to display only those record that meets the criteria that we define. We can
assign a single item (such as failed) or logical expression (such as Passed or Failed) to a filter. Only record meeting
all the criteria of the filter appear in the grid or tree. In addition, we can define multiple filters.
For example, we can define the Status filter as Failed and the tester as Rohit or Mayank. Only test runs performed
by Rohit and Mayank are displayed.
Q21. What is difference between Generate Test from the requirements and Convert
requirements to test?
When we convert the requirements to test in a specified subject in the test plan tree where as in generating test case,
the test case generates from requirements are stored in a specified subject in a test plan tree and a specific test set
in Test Lab module. And by default we cannot generate a test for the following, which do not enable to coverage:
