Set up DevTest Tests in HP ALM - Quality Center

The plug-in uses VAPI-XP to integrate with HP ALM - Quality Center.

You can access the JavaScript and VBScript templates referred to in this procedure by clicking Start, All Programs, DevTest, Quality Center Plugin. The templates are functionally equivalent.

The DevTest test can be a test case file, a MAR file, or a MAR info file.

For test cases, you can also attach a staging document and a configuration file. If you do not attach a staging document, a staging document is automatically created with these characteristics:

• One user
• One cycle
• Zero think time

For MAR files and MAR info files, you cannot attach any additional files.

In this procedure, you create one or more URL attachments. Here is an example URL for a test case file:

file:///C:/Lisa/examples/Tests/rest-example.tst 

Here is an example URL for a MAR info file:

file:///C:/Lisa/examples/MARInfos/rest-example.mari 

The following graphic shows the Attachments tab. The URL for a test case file has been added.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a VAPI-XP test in Quality Center.
2. Select the Test Script tab and replace the default contents with the contents of the JavaScript or VBScript template included with the plug-in.
3. Select the Attachments tab and add a URL to the test case file, MAR file, or MAR info file.
4. (Optional) Add URLs to the staging document and configuration file. These files are allowed with test cases, but not with MAR files or MAR info files.
5. Save the VAPI-XP test.
