Integrating JUnit tests with HP/Mercury Quality Center Part 2: reporting annotation converage using a base class. In my previous post I talked about adding an annotation to JUnit test cases that identified corresponding manual test cases defined in Quality Center. HP Quality Center (QC), a test management tool, is now popularly known as A pplication L ife Cycle M anagement (ALM) tool, as it is no longer just a test management tool but it supports various phases of the software development life cycle. HP-ALM helps us to.

- Defect: Anything that is extra or missing or wrong in application is termed as defect
- QC helps you to add defects to application when found and track the defect repair progression.
- QC provides a central defect tracking system that can be used by testing and development teams to resolve defects
QC testing process includes 5 phases:
- Specifying release
- Specifying requirements
- Planning Tests
- Running Tests
- Tracking Defects
- QC Defect module provides complete system for logging, tracking, managing, and analyzing application defects

- Associating defects with test requirements will help to ensure consistency throughout the testing process
- The defect-requirement association enables us to utilize the status of defects to determine whether requirements have been met
- A requirement can be associated with more than one defect
- Either a existing defect can be associated with the requirement or new defect can be added to requirement
- Association of defect with test helps to ensure defect traceability throughout the testing process. A defect may be indirectly linked to a test through other entities, such as a test instance, a test run, or a test step
- Tests from Test plan module can be associated with defects that have been logged in the Defects module
- Matching defects enables you to eliminate similar and duplicate defects in your project
- Each time you add a new defect, Quality Center stores lists of keywords from the Summary and Description fields
- When you search for similar defects, keywords in these fields are matched against other defects
- Note that keywords must be more than two characters and letter case does not affect your results
