Test Management

Test Managers have two additional sections available in addition to the features available to testers.

• Configuration

  • Configures test categories.
  • External test management system configuration (optional). Not applicable if test suite executions are not being uploaded to an external test management system.

• Approval - Lists verified reports that are ready for approval (optional). Not applicable if test suite executions are not being uploaded to an external test management system.

Configuration

The Configuration section is used to set optional test categories and to configure upload permissions to external test management databases.

Configure Test Categories

Click on the Configuration tab, then Test Categories to add or edit existing test categories. When tests are executed, tagged intaQt Feature Files are automatically marked with the category. Users can also see and change the category from Test Run Report detail pages.

Select the + icon below the table to create a new test category, or the pencil icon to edit an existing category. Specify the category's name and tag. The tag must include a preceding @ sign. Click the checkmark icon to save the category, or the X icon to cancel.

To delete a category, click the garbage icon.

HPQC Test Sets and HPQC Settings

If uploading to HPQC, the HPQC Test Sets and HPQC Settings configurations must be set.

HPQC Test Sets

conQlude supports uploading execution reports to different test sets in HPQC by defining test categories and test suite execution dates. Configured test suite executions are only uploaded when an HPQC test set ID matches a conQlude test category for a specified time period.

Click on the Configuration tab, then HPQC Test Sets to add or edit test set configurations. Select the + icon on the right-hand side to create a new test set.

Parameters

• Name - The project name

• Test Category - The test category, as defined in the Test Categories tab

• Start Date - The starting period in which the test set ID should be used

• End Date - The end date of the test set ID

• ALM Test Set ID - The test set ID assigned to the project in HPQC

• Enabled - Must be selected to upload reports to HPQC from conQlude

Note:

• The Test Category parameter is restricted to categories configured in the Test Categories tab.

• HPQC Test Sets must be verified each day. This is done by clicking the Verify for Today button at the bottom of the HPQC Test Sets tab. If test sets are not verified, the executions will not be uploaded to HPQC that day.

The HPQC Settings tab enables conQlude to communicate with HPQC. Click on the Configuration tab, then HPQC Settings to add or edit HPQC Settings:
