OpKey integration with ALM Tool QC
- 1. Application Lifecycle Management Abbreviated as ALM, Application Lifecycle Management refers to the capability to integrate, coordinate and manage the different phases of the software delivery process. From development to deployment, ALM is a set of pre-defined process and tools that include definition, design, development, testing, deployment and management. Throughout the ALM process, each of these steps are closely monitored and controlled. Some ALM Tools are QC, JIRA We are going to take QC for the integration as an example. OpKey Integration with ALM Tool QC OpKey integration with ALM Tool QC will increase your speed and quality of delivery through improved automation and enabling of better organizational visibility and collaboration. Why Needed: In QC we have test labs in which test plans are created. These test plans are like a manual which specifies the steps to be followed to test any product. So to execute these test plans either a person is needed to execute them manually or we have to attach a script with that test plan to execute it. Ex. QTP. In OpKey Test plans are integrated with Business flows for getting end to end coverage report. That’s why we need OpKey to integrate with ALM Tool QC so that we can Provide end to end coverage report of execution Increase visibility and collaboration Planning and tracking defects which appear during manual execution and automated execution become feasible and easier. How does it Works: Provide configuration settings for QC Map business flows created in OpKey with the test plans which are created in QC Create Business Flow Suits by adding BFs after filtering BFs on the basis of fetched properties of QC to prepare it for execution Note: firstly we will install TDConnect on the system to connect with QC.
- 2. Step1- Provide configuration settings for QC In OpKey we have External Tool Management in Admin Menu from where we will provide the settings for connecting OpKey with QC after clicking on settings icon. Here , we specifies the details which are required to be connected with QC Connection URL: Here the URL will be provided for connecting with QC at the host address specified in this URL Domain: Specify the domain in which our project exists in QC Project Name: Specify name of the project to be connected User Name and Password for connecting with the specified project Connection Timeout: maximum amount of time for which OpKey will try to connect with QC.
- 3. Now, Test connection and save the settings. Select the category of test management for QC Extension with OpKey. Then Save the settings. Step3 – Map business flows created in OpKey with the test plans which are created in QC Click on the Map business flow button for mapping that BF with test plans of QC Provide the QC folder path whose test plan is required to map and press ok
- 4. The QC tree will be appeared then select the test plan and press ok for mapping.
- 5. It will fetch QC properties of that test plan in Opkey, which can be seen in a dock panel in that BF Step4 – Create Business Flow Suits by adding BFs after filtering BFs on the basis of fetched properties of QC to prepare it for execution Select ALM type for filtering BFs Select any property in the dropdown list on the basis of which BFs are to be filtered Select any property value and press enter All the corresponding flows will be selected Click on add button so that selected BFs can be added in the BFS in one click Now we can save and execute our BFS to get the result for particular test plan
- 6. After executing the Business Flow Suite which is created corresponding to a test plan will provide an end to end coverage report. Using this report we can plan and track the defects of test plans easily. And also it increases the visibility and collaboration.
