Test execution in QC ALM 10.0

After defining requirements development team starts their design and development process while testing team start designing tests that can be executed once the build is deployed.

Entry Criteria for Test execution:

• All test cases are prepared and reviewed
• Establish Test Environment
• Test Data Available
• Application under Test (AUT/SUT) is delivered.

Test Execution levels:

Test Lab/Test Execution Phase includes following approach:

Create Test Set:

Create Test sets and choosing which tests to include in each set. A Test set is a group of tests in a Quality Center project designed to achieve specific testing goals.

Schedule Runs:

Quality Center enables to control the executions of tools in a test sets. We can set conditions and schedules date and time foe executing your tests. We can also set the sequence to execute the tests.

Run Tests Manually:

Once we have defined the test sets , we can begin executing the tests.When we run a test manually, we execute the test steps that defined during test planning. We decide each step pass or fail depending on whether the applications actual results match the expected output.

Run Test Automatically :

When we run an automated test, the selected testing tool opens the automatically, runs the test and exports the test results to Quality Center.

Analyze the Test Result:

We can analyze the test results to determine which test instances failed and which steps caused the failure.
