The Connector for HP Quality Center / ALM provides full access to Quality Center functionality with a set of Web Services that you can invoke from SBM orchestrations. The example orchestrations provided with the Connector address just a subset of all of the functionality available from the Web Services. The full functionality includes:
Creating / updating defects in Quality Center. You can create them in either of the following ways:
By calling the AddBugWithFields method, which populates the required fields and creates a new bug. This method creates a new bug in a single step, but requires all of the required fields to be populated. This is true for all methods named "WithFields."
By calling the AddBug method, which first creates a new bug, then populates the fields, and then updates the new bug. This method does not require all of the required fields to be populated before creating the bug.
Creating / updating new cycles in Quality Center with the AddCycle method.
Creating / updating new releases in Quality Center with the AddRelease method.
Adding new file attachments to Quality Center items with the AddFileAttachment method.
Creating new requirements in Quality center. You can create them either with a method call that populates all required fields before creating the requirement (AddRequirementWithFields), or with a method call that creates the requirement without first populating all required fields (AddRequirement).
Creating new tests in Quality center. You can create them either with a method call that populates all required fields before creating the test (AddtestWithFields), or by including additional methods that specify parameters (Addtest).
Getting information about releases, tests, bugs, cycles, requirements, fields, etc.
Removing defects, cycles, releases, requirements, tests.
Retrieve defects, requirements, and tests using Quality Center filter queries. You can validate the queries using the Filter dialog in Quality Center, and then reproduce the queries in the GetDefectsWithQuery, GetRequirementsWithQuery, or GetTestsWithQuery methods.
Retrieve links to items related to defects, requirements, and tests in Quality Center:
For requirements and tests, use the GetLinkedBugs method to return URLs to linked defects.
For Bugs, use the GetLinkedRequirements method to return URLs to linked requirements, and the GetLinkedTests method to return URLs to linked tests.
For tests, to return URLs to all coverage requirements, use the GetRequirementCoverageForTest method.
For requirements, to return URLs to all coverage tests, use the GetTestCoverageForRequirement method.
