Configuring Quality Center

To use the Quality Center Connector with Serena Development Manager, you must complete a number of additional configuration steps. These steps help you set up Quality Center to use with the default, out-of-box implementation of Serena Development Manager.

Configuring HP from the Site Administration tool:

1. Log into the Site Administration tool for Quality Center.

2. Under Site Users, add a user account that corresponds with every SBM and Dimensions CM user who must also have access to Quality Center. These user names must precisely match the corresponding user names in SBM and Dimensions CM.

3. Add a user with the name QCConnector.

4. Under Site Projects, create a new, empty project. Name this project QLARIUS and add it to the DEFAULT domain.

5. Add all of the users you just set up to the new QLARIUS project.

6. Activate the project, and optionally enable versioning for it, in order to version requirements and tests.

7. Log into the QLARIUS project as an administrator and continue to the next section.

Configuring HP Quality Center Projects:

1. In Quality Center / ALM, select Customize from the Tools menu.

2. Under Project Entities, edit or add the following fields under Defect.

   • Select the User Fields folder, and add a new string type field called DVM CR ID.

   • Under System Fields, select the following fields in turn and make sure that the History option is enabled:

   • Assigned To

   • Description

   • Detected in Cycle

   • Detected in Release

   • Modified

   • Severity

   • Summary

   • Target Cycle

   • Target Release

3. Under Project Lists, make the following changes:

   1. Select Severity, and set the options to:

      • 1

      • 2

      • 3

      • 4

   2. Select Bug Status, and set the options to:

   • Closed

   • Define Test Cases

   • Fixed

   • New

   • Open

   • Ready for Test

   • Test Cases Defined

   • Test Completed (failed)

6. Select Workflow, then click the Script Editor link.

7. In the Script Editor, expand Project Scripts, then select the Common Script node. Add the following to the end of this script.

   Function Project_InvokeALF(sEventType, sObjectId)

   ' Set up parameters:

   set objDom = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")

   set objXmlHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

   ' Load XML:

   objDom.loadXML sXml

   ' Open the Web service:

   ' Create headings:

   ' Get all response text from the Web service:

   ' Close object

   set objXmlHttp = Nothing

   On Error GoTo 0

   End Function

8. On the Script Editor, expand Project Scripts then select Defects module script.

9. To the very top of this script, add:

   Dim ALFEventType

10. Select the Bug_CanPost statement and add the following after the line starting with: Bug_CanPost:

    ' For new defect (that was not submitted yet, BG_BUG_ID is always Null

    If Bug_Fields("BG_BUG_ID").IsNull Then

    ALFEventType = "QCBugCreated"

    Else

    ALFEventType = "QCBugUpdated"

    End If

    The resulting screen should look something like the following:

    

11. Select the Bug_CanDelete statement and add the following before the End Function line:

    Project_InvokeALF "QCBugDeleted", cStr(Bug_Fields("BG_BUG_ID").Value)

12. Select the Bug_AfterPost statement and add the following line before the End Sub line

Project_InvokeALF ALFEventType cStr(Bug_Fields("BG_BUG_ID").Value)
