Steps in OpenText PPM Workflows that Involve Integration with QC/ALM

Several workflows and subworkflows provided in ALM software have steps that are related to the integration of OpenText PPM with QC/ALM, as follows:

• The ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration workflow generates a defect or requirement in QC/ALM as soon as a request of the associated type is created. See ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration Workflow.

• The ALM - Request For Change workflow (see ALM - Request For Change Workflow) calls the following subworkflows at the indicated steps:

  • At step 17, the ALM - Request For Change workflow calls the Plan Tests Sub WF (see ALM - Plan Tests Sub WF Subworkflow).

    In this subworkflow, step 1, Quality Process Mode, determines whether the test planning will be done manually or using integration of OpenText PPM with QC/ALM. If integration is to be used, the following additional subworkflow steps relate to the integration:

    • Step 4, Quality Process Entry

    • Step 5, Generate Requirement in Quality Center

    • Step 6. Quality Center Failure

    • Step 7, Quality Center Requirements Setup

    • Step 8, Quality Center Test Plan Setup

    • Step 9, Quality Center Test Lab Setup

  • At step 22, the ALM - Request For Change workflow calls the Deploy and Test Changes Sub WF (see ALM - Deploy and Test Changes Sub WF Subworkflow).

    • Step 6. Quality Center Failure

    • Step 7, Quality Center Requirements Setup

    • Step 8, Quality Center Test Plan Setup

    • Step 9, Quality Center Test Lab Setup

  • At step 22, the ALM - Request For Change workflow calls the Deploy and Test Changes Sub WF (see ALM - Deploy and Test Changes Sub WF Subworkflow).

    In this subworkflow, step 3, Quality Process Mode, determines whether the testing will be done manually or using integration of OpenText PPM with QC/ALM. If integration is to be used, the following additional subworkflow step relates to the integration:

    • Step 5, Quality Center Test Execution

• The ALM - Release Request workflow (see ALM - Release Request Workflow), includes the following steps that relate to integration of OpenText PPM with QC/ALM for the release management process:

  • Step 3, Integrate with Quality Center?

  • Step 4, Quality Process Entry

  • Step 5, Create Release Requirement in Quality Center

  • Step 6, Quality Center Failure
