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.StructureCreate the test case structure and the test casesMap the test cases to the App.ReqRun 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 it1. Open the Quality Centre project2. Displays the requirements modules3. Choose reportAnalysis > 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

8. How to use Quality Centre in real time project?Once completed the preparing of test cases1. Export the test cases into Quality Centre( It will contained total 8 steps)2. The test cases will be loaded in the test plan module3. 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.

Quality Center provides Business Component  for Business Process Testing (BPT).

Many Enterprise Applications are a) complex and b) require extensive test scripts/case.

A Test /Automation Engineer can not handle both complexity of Application Under Test as well as  extensive test script/test case creation.

Using Business Component,  Subject Matter Experts ( who are experts on the  Application  Under Test ) can create tests in a script free environment without involving in the Nitty-gritty of test case/script designing. It helps increase test coverage and creates re-usable business components used for testing essential Business Processes.

Development of Test Script / Cases is done by Automation / Test Engineer.
