Inject test runs from ALM/QC to ValueEdge

Starting with ALM/QC version 15.5, you can integrate between ValueEdge and ALM/QC, to automatically inject test sets and test runs from ALM/QC to ValueEdge. When a test is run in ALM/QC, a corresponding test suite and test are automatically created in ValueEdge. Test runs are continuously added under these tests and test suites.

This is useful, for example, if you run tests in ALM but manage the rest of your project in ValueEdge.

To inject test runs from ALM/QC:

  1. Configure the integration on the ValueEdge side:

    1. Create a release in ValueEdge that is identical to your release in ALM/QC.
    2. To set up the integration, you must have permissions to access the server. ValueEdge grants this permission with an API access key. For details on setting up API access, see API access.

  2. Configure the integration on the ALM/QC side.

    Within ALM/QC, set up the integration as described in the ALM Help Center. For details, see Set up ALM-ValueEdge Integration.

  3. ALM/QC test set results are pushed automatically to ValueEdge.

    When a test is run in ALM/QC, a corresponding test suite and test are automatically created in ValueEdge. Test runs are continuously added under these tests and test suites.

  4. Track your suite run results in ValueEdge.

    In ValueEdge, the following fields are synchronized with their parallel fields in ALM/QC:

    ValueEdge field ALM/QC field
    External test ID

    Test ID as defined on the ALM/QC Details tab.
    Name

    Combination of the Test Configuration ID in ALM/QC, and the Test Configuration name of the test.
    Component ALM/<domain>/<project>.
    Package

    Path of the test's Name folder.
    Testing tool type Type defined in the ALM/QC Details tab.

    Once the test results are in ValueEdge, set up test assignment rules to assign retrieved test results to the relevant application modules and ValueEdge users. For details, see Test assignment rules.
