Formulating Test Cases in Micro Focus ALM/Quality Center

Continuing our ALM journey, we’ve examined Release, Cycle, and Requirements in our past session. We established a Release, supplemented Cycles, formulated Requirements, linked them back to Cycles & Releases, and checked the effect on statistics.

Today’s tutorial will delve into further steps.

We will use the previous case of Gmail.com. If you’re not versed with it, please consider the earlier article: Requirements and Release Cycle Supervision employing Quality Center

If these are the test conditions for each element in the May Release:

#1) Login – inputting correct credentials

• Initiate Gmail, input the correct username, input the correct password, and press login.
• Initiate Gmail, input the correct username, input the correct password, choose “Stay signed in,”, and press login.

#2) Login – incorrect credentials

• Initiate Gmail, input the correct username, incorrect password, and press login.
• Initiate Gmail, input the incorrect username, correct password, and press Login
• Initiate Gmail, enter an incorrect username, incorrect password, and press Login.

How would you draft a manual test case for these test conditions? You could utilize a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet. For instance, I employed an Excel sheet to author the 1(a) test case.

Now, let’s discover how to create the aforementioned test case in ALM.

Test Plan Tab in ALM

Directions to formulate Test cases under the Test Plan tab:

Step #1: Login to ALM and choose the project. Formulate Releases, Cycles, and Requirements as elucidated in the prior tutorials.

Step #2: Navigate to the Test Plan tab by selecting “Testing -> Test Plan” from the sidebar.

Step #3: Select “Subject” as your root folder and formulate a subfolder labeled “ALM training” under it. You can also create subfolders for “May Release” and “June Release”.

Step #4: Choose the May Release folder and select the option to create a new test.

Step #5: Enter the name and choose the “type”. For our tutorial, select “Manual”.

Step #6: Fill in the other details. The designer’s name will be auto-populated based on your login credentials. Press OK to add the test.

Step #7: Now you can add your steps. Click on the “Design Steps” tab and then click on the “New Step” icon.

Step #8: Fill in the step details. The description and expected results fields have comprehensive text editing features.

Step #9: Create all the necessary steps. Here’s how the completed test case appears:

This completes the process of formulating test cases and steps.

Step #10: For the May Release, additional test cases can be added.

Connecting Test Cases to Requirements

Directions to connect Test cases and Requirements:

#1) Choose a formulated Test case and click on it. The properties will be portrayed in the tab on the right-hand side. Navigate to the “Req coverage” tab and click on “Select Req”.

#2) The requirements tree will be portrayed. Expand the tree and select the required requirements.

#3) Close the requirement tree after selection. You can connect a test case to multiple requirements. See how the added requirement appears:

#4) To study the impact on the requirement, navigate to the Requirements tab and click twice on the linked requirement. Observe the “Test Coverage” details.

Check out the test details and test status presented. Since this test was freshly formulated and never run, the coverage status shows as “No Run”. Let’s progress our tutorial and learn how to execute a test.
