HP ALM Overview
HP ALM empowers IT to manage the core application
lifecycle, from requirements through maintenance.
ALM simplifies and organizes application management by
providing you systematic control over the process.
It helps to create a framework and foundation for your
ALM workflow in a central repository.
Understands requirements, project milestones,
deliverables and resource and tracks the project health,
standards and quality
Aim of effective lifecycle management is greater
predictability, improved quality, and a ready
accommodation of change

HP ALM Solution

HP ALM Segments
Application lifecycle management is divided into two parts:
Site
Administration
• You can create and maintain
projects, users, servers, site
connections, license usage, and
parameters.
• You can also define site
administrators and change site
administrator passwords
Project
Management
• HP Application Lifecycle
Management provides project
planning and tracking so that
teams can define, track,
measure, and report on project
milestones and key
performance indicators

QA Process
Application lifecycle management test process includes the following phases:
Specify Releases
Define Requirements
Develop Test Plans
Execute Tests
Log and Track Defects
Phase Description
Release
Specifications
Develop a release-cycle management plan to help
you manage application releases and cycles
efficiently.
Requirement
Specifications
Define requirements to meet your business and
testing needs.
Test Planning Based on the project requirements, you can develop
test plans and design tests.
Test Execution Create a subset of the tests in your project and
execute scheduled tests
Defect Tracking Submit defects and track their progress.

Requirements

Requirements Overview
• Requirements module is easy-to-use solution that helps the project
teams to assess the application functionalities meets business needs.
• Easily access requirements data through a centralized, web-based
repository accessible to the entire team
• Review requirements coverage and application quality to make better
application release decisions
• Prioritize requirements and align testing goals with business priorities
to enable compliance and manage change
• Validate application requirements and maintain traceability and an
audit trail among requirements, tests, and defects

Creating Requirements
How to create a requirement?

Step 1: Go to the Test Plan tab by choosing “Testing->Test Plan”.
Step 2: Select a Test
Step 3: Go to Req Coverage tab
Step 4: Click on “Select Req” to open the Requirement Tree
Step 5: Add requirement to the coverage grid to establish a link between the
test and the requirement
How to create Requirement Coverage
You can also add a requirement and its children to the grid

Step 6: Right click on the requirement that has been added to the coverage grid of the test
Step 7: Select “Show Requirements details”
Step 8: Select “Test Coverage” from left pane
How to create Requirement Coverage
Shows the test
coverage

How to create Test coverage
Step 5: Go to May Release folder and choose the option to create a new test.
Enter a name and select Manual

Test Plan – Test Case Creation
Step 6: Enter other details. Designer name will be auto populated based on login
credentials. Click OK. The test gets added.

Test Plan – Test Case – Test Step Creation
Step 7: Now you can add your steps. Click on the “Design Steps” tab. Click on
“New Step” icon.

Step 8: Enter the step details like Description and Expected Results fields come
up complete text editing features that are self explanatory.

Step 9: Create all the steps in the similar way
This completes the process of adding test cases and steps.

Linking Test Case to Requirement
Step 1: Select the test case created. All the properties get displayed. Go to
“Req coverage” tab & click on “Select Req”

Step 2: The requirements tree gets displayed on the side. Expand the tree and
select the needed requirements

Step 3: Once done, close the requirement tree. You can link a test case to as
many requirements as you would like.
This completes the process of mapping
a test case to a requirement

Step 4: Let us now check, how this mapping effects the requirement. Go to
Requirements tab from the side bar. Double click on the requirement that you
just mapped and notice the “Test Coverage” details:
Since this test was just
created and never run, the
coverage status shows as
“No Run”

Test Plan Overview
 In Test Plan we can
 Organize subjects and tests in a test plan tree
 Create tests that define the steps for testing an application
 Use parameters in tests
 Generate test scripts from design steps
 Define test configurations
 Generate a live analysis graph from a test plan tree

Test Case
Assume these are the test conditions for a release:
1) Login to Gmail with correct credentials
a. Enter correct user name, correct password and click login
b. Enter correct user name, correct password, select “Stay signed
in” and click login
2) Login to Gmail with incorrect credentials
a. Enter correct username, incorrect password and click Login
b. Enter incorrect username, correct password and click Login
c. Enter incorrect username, incorrect password and click Login
How do you write a manual test case for the same?

Test Case
1(a) test case as an example
Lets take a look at how to create
the same test case in ALM

Test Plan – Folder Creation
Step 1: Login to ALM into the right project. Create the release, cycles and
requirements.
Step 2: Go to the Test Plan tab by choosing “Testing->Test Plan”.
Step 3: Choose “Subject” as your home folder and create a sub folder “ALM
Training” under it.
Step 4: Create “May Release” and “June Release” Sub folders under it.

Test Plan – Test Case Creation
Step 5: Go to May Release folder and choose the option to create a new test.
Enter a name and select Manual

Step 9: Create all the steps in the similar way
This completes the process of adding test
cases and steps.

Step 1: Select the test case created. All the properties get displayed. Go to “Req
coverage” tab & click on “Select Req”

Step 3: Once done, close the requirement tree. You can link a test case to as
many requirements as you would like.
This completes the process of
mapping a test case to a requirement

Step 4: Let us now check, how this mapping effects the requirement. Go to
Requirements tab from the side bar. Double click on the requirement that
you just mapped and notice the “Test Coverage” details:
Since this test was just
created and never run, the
coverage status shows as
“No Run”

Test LAB

Test Lab Overview
 Test lab will help us create test sets that contains test cases that we need to
execute in each phase
 This is where the tester can execute the tests and record the test results
 Executed test results will be then mapped to the release cycle

Test Case
Assume these are the test conditions for a release:
1) Login to Gmail with correct credentials
a. Enter correct user name, correct password and click login

Test Lab – Test Set Creation
Step 1: Login to ALM into the right project.
Step 2: Go to the Test Lab tab by choosing “Testing->Test Lab”.
Step 3: Choose “Root” as your home folder and create a sub folder “ALM
Training” under it.
Step 4: Create a sub folder “May Release” under it.

Step 5: Under May release, choose the option to create a new test set

Step 6: Enter the test set name. Click OK

Step 7: Once it is created. Click on “Select Tests” from the menu

Step 8: Select the tests as required from Test Plan Tree

Alternately if you choose the “Requirements Tree” tab, you can choose
requirement.
All the tests that are linked to it get added to your test set.

Step 9: Go ahead and create all the test sets. As you can see from the screen
shot
This completes the process of creating
a test set and adding test cases to it

Test Lab – Execution
Step 1: In the Test lab tab, choose the test set that you would like to run
Step 2: Click on “Run Test” or “Run Test Set”
“Run Test” will
execute the test case
selected
“Run test set” will
run the entire set one
test after the other
until the end
For an automation
test if the tool is
integrated, then it
launches and runs
it in the
automation testing
tool.

Click on
Begin
Run

Step 3: Since ours is a manual test, we will have to execute the steps manually
on our AUT and set the results.
Step 4: Go to the test status field and update. Enter the actual result in the
space provided.

Step 5: When done, click on the cross button to the dialog. The following
confirmation message is displayed. Click Yes

This completes the process of
executing a test case from Test Lab
