Multi selecting requirements and converting to tests

$
0
0

I have several folders, each containing several individual requirements.

 

I am trying to select multiple requirements (by using CTRL & LMB) and then I click RMB to convert to tests. However QC only picks up on the one item the mouse pointer is on.

 

I am looking for a simple way to convert multiple items/folders to tests.

 

The only way I can see to do it at the moment is convert everything and then delete the unwanted requirements but this will take ages.

 

Thanks

Need inputs on the optimal way to track Enhancemen​ts - Defects or Requiremen​ts Module

$
0
0

I am currently supporting an initiative which requires multiple Application Groups to migrate from various defect management tools to a standardized Quality Center/ALM template.  Some of these groups track enhancements in the Defect module, because the lifecycle stages are quite similar to that of defects. Can you provide your suggestions/inputs on the optimal way to track these items, should it be in the Defects Module or the Requirements Module in QC/ALM? The goal was to use the Requirements Module to track Enhancements, so that Application Functionality is tracked in a single repository, but since this will impact a lot of teams, would like to get inputs from this community.  From a workflow perspective, does the Defect Module provide any additional benefits which are not supported by the Requirements Module?

 

Is it possible to populate a drop down list with users from a specific group at runtime?

$

Need help with below

The current workflow autoassigns a defect/requirement based on the status.

For e.g. if a requirement is "In Design" it automatically assigns it to the "BA" group. My clients have requested an "Assigned to team member" dropdown, which retrieves the list of people in the group, at runtime. So when the status changes from "In Design" to "Ready for Review", the author has the option of selecting the reviewer from the BA dropdown list of the field "Assigned to team member". The software vendor assigned to do this work says it is not possible to do this due to a limitation of HPQC. The list is visible only after logging back in again. Is there syntax on refreshing the values, which we are missing?

Code for hiding Add Step and Delete Selected button in Manual Runner Dialog Box does not work

Hi All, We have implemented the below code for hiding the 'Add Step' and 'Delete Selected' buttons in Manual Runner dialog box(ALM 11.52):- Actions.Action("StepsView.AddStep").Visible = false Actions.Action("StepsView.DeleteStep").Visible = false We have placed it in ManualRunner_EnterModule sub. It works fine under normal circumstances. But there is one problem. Suppose we click on Begin Run and in between the small time it takes for the Manual Runner dialog box to open, we click on somewhere in our computer(For example on a Word or Notepad file), then the Add Step and Delete Step buttons again become visible and the code does not seem to work. Has anyone faced this issue before? Please Help!! Kind Regards, Satish

Full path of Test Cases in a Test Set

Hello,

 

Can some one help me retrieve the full path of a specific list of test cases in Test Plan module ?

 

This is the scenario: I have a test set in test lab that has 'n' test cases. All these cases are scattered and available in different folders in test plan module. They are not duplicated in test plan, though. I would like to get the full path of all these cases along with the test case name in an excel report.

 

All I would want to supply as an input to the query is the 'Test Set Name' 

 

Thanks in advance.

Calcuate the number of days between Defect detected on date and the current date

$

Hi,
I am trying to calculate the number days between the time the user submit a defect (detected on date) and the current date to see how long the defect has been waiting to be completed. 1) create an action button on the defect grid window 2) I will filter for active (open, approved) defects. 3) calculate the difference between detected on date and current date and put results in the user (aging) field for all the defects selected (filtered).

So far, I have been able to create the button and calcuate the days. But I am having trouble with putting the process in a "For...Next" loop to calculate every defected selected by the filter.

Here is my script:
ActionCanExecute = True
If ActionName = "UserDefinedActions.Defects_CalAgeAction1" Then
MsgBox "You clicked the Action1 button."
SCurDte = Cstr(Date())
MsgBox "The current system date is: " & SCurDte
MsgBox "The Detected on date is: " & Bug_Fields.Field("BG_DETECTION_DATE").Value
Bug_Fields.Field("BG_USER_10").Value = (DateDiff("d",Bug_Fields.Field("BG_DETECTION_DATE").Value, SCurDte))
End If

Do someone have the workflow that completes my process?
Thanks.

Quality Centre to ALM

Our company has recently moved from QC to ALM. I had a script which ran perfectly in QC, however is not working correctly in ALM.

 

When posting new requirements I run the command and this works correctly.

 

When looking to open that requirement for editing within QC I was running 'Function GetReqDetailsPageName(PageName, PageNum)'  to format my fields, hide and show items etc, however it does not run in ALM, uless I make a change somewhere on the page, and it then all updates. Is there an alternative routine to use when opening a requirement so the window formats correctly?

 

I have tried 'Function GetDetailsPageName(PageName, PageNum)', but this has not worked either.

 

Many thanks in advance.

How to find if the ALM or Synchronizer ports are busy?

$
0
0

Dear Customer,


For finding out if there are any special port for ALM (8080) or ALM Synchronizer (7064,1098,1099) being used by another application, please use the following command:
 

In Windows

1. Launch a command line window
2. Type: netstat -ab
3. This will show all ports in use and the process using it
4. There is another command for filtering data to specific port: netstat -ab | findstr <port number>
5. There is also a utility call TCP view from Microsoft sysinternals to monitor ports graphically, for more details refer to  this link
 

In Linux

 In a terminal window use these commands :    netstat -anp | grep <port>  or    netstat -tulpn | grep :<port>

 

Cordially,

ameyjo

Dear Customer,

 

The error:

 

java.sql.SQLException: Failed SQL: /* ~~QC */ { sql..syntax}
[Mercury][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]The execution of a full-text query failed. "The form specified for the subject is not one supported or known by the specified trust provider."

 

 

It is caused because the indexing engine was set up to run as an network admin user, which caused difficulties.

 

To fix please follow next steps

How find out tests and their respective baseline

$

0

Dear Customer,

 

If there is a need of reporting a list of baselines and the corresponding tests  contained in the baseline, please use this query as example in excel reports, business view or in site admin :

 

select a.bl_name /*baseline name*/,
             a.bl_id /* baseline id*/,
             a.bl_lib_id  /*baseline library id*/ ,
             b.ts_name /* Test name contained in the baseline*/

from baselines a, bl_test b 

where a.bl_id=b.TS_BL_ID

 

 

Same can be used with the BL_COMPONENTS (components), BL_REQ (Requiremetns), etc.. For more details about the database tables please refer to the  ALM help > ALM guides.
