1. What is meant by test lab in Quality Centre?
Test lab is a part of Quality Centre where we can execute
our test on different cycles creating test tree for each
one of them. We need to add test to these test trees from
the tests, which are placed under test plan in the project.
Internally Quality Centre will refer to this test while
running then in the test lab.

2. Can you map the defects directly to the requirements(Not
through the test cases) in the Quality Centre?
In the following methods is most likely to used in this
case:
Create your Req.Structure
Create the test case structure and the test cases
Map the test cases to the App.Req
Run and report bugs from your test cases in the test lab
module.

The database structure in Quality Centre is mapping test
cases to defects, only if you have created the bug from
Application. test case may be we can update the mapping by
using some code in the bug script module(from the customize
project function), as per as i know, it is not possible to
map defects directly to an requirements.

3. how do you run reports from Quality Centre. Does any one
have good white paper or articles?
This is how you do it
1. Open the Quality Centre project
2. Displays the requirements modules
3. Choose report
Analysis > reports > standard requirements report

4. Can we upload test cases from an excel sheet into
Quality Centre?
Yes go to Add-In menu Quality Centre, find the excel add-
In, and install it in your machine.
Now open excel, you can find the new menu option export to
Quality Centre. Rest of the procedure is self explanatory.

5. Can we export the file from Quality Centre to excel
sheet. If yes then how?
Requirement tab– Right click on main req/click on
export/save as word, excel or other template. This would
save all the child requirements

Test plan tab: Only individual test can be exported. no
parent child export is possible. Select a test script,
click on the design steps tab, right click anywhere on the
open window. Click on export and save as.

Test lab tab: Select a child group. Click on execution grid
if it is not selected. Right click anywhere. Default save
option is excel. But can be saved in documents and other
formats. Select all or selected option

Defects Tab: Right click anywhere on the window, export all
or selected defects and save excel sheet or document.

6. How many types of tabs are there in Quality Centre.
Explain?
There are four types of tabs are available

1. Requirement : To track the customer requirements
2. Testplan : To design the test cases and to store the
test scripts
3. test lab : To execute the test cases and track the
results.
4. Defect : To log a defect and to track the logged defects.

7. How to map the requirements with test cases in Quality
Centre?
1. In requirements tab select coverage view
2. Select requirement by clicking on parent/child or
grandchild
3. On right hand side(In coverage view window) another
window will appear. It has two tabs
a) Tests coverage
b) Details
Test coverage tab will be selected by default or you click
on it.
4. Click on select tests button a new window will appear on
right hand side and you will see a list of all tests. You
cans elect any test case you want to map with your
requirements.

8. How to use Quality Centre in real time project?
Once completed the preparing of test cases
1. Export the test cases into Quality Centre( It will
contained total 8 steps)
2. The test cases will be loaded in the test plan module
3. Once the execution is started. We move the test cases
from test plan tab to the test lab module.
4. In test lab, we execute the test cases and put as pass
or fail or incomplete. We generate the graph in the test
lab for daily report and sent to the on site (where ever
you want to deliver)
5. If we got any defects and raise the defects in the
defect module. when raising the defects, attach the defects
with the screen shot.

9. Difference between Web Inspect-QA Inspect?
QA Inspect finds and prioritizes security vulnerabilities
in an entire web application or in specific usage scenarios
during testing and presents detail information and
remediation advise about each vulnerability.
Web Inspect ensures the security of your most critical
information by identifying known and unknown
vulnerabilities within the web application. With web
Inspect, auditors, compliance officers and security experts
can perform security assessments on a web enabled
application. Web inspect enables users to perform security
assessments for any web application or web service,
including the industry leading application platforms.

10. How can w add requirements to test cases in Quality
Centre?
Just you can use the option of add requirements.
Two kinds of requirements are available in TD.
1. Parent Requirement
2. Child requirements.

Parent Requirements nothing but title of the requirements,
it covers high level functions of the requirements

Child requirement nothing but sub title of requirements, it
covers low level functions of the requirements.
