Project Reports

A new Project Report reporting tool is available in the Analysis View module, enabling you to design and generate comprehensive reports of project data. Using templates designed by the project administrator for each ALM entity, users create project reports, by selecting the entities that are included in report sections, and defining data filters.

Project reports offer the following advantages:

Rich style and layout option using MS Word templates.


Enhanced performance.


Single configuration for multiple output formats (doc, docx, html).


Centralized template management.

For more information, refer to the HP Application Lifecycle Management User Guide:

Project Reports Overview

Project reports enable you to design and generate comprehensive reports containing information from your HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) project. In a project report, you define sections and sub-sections, each listing records of a specified ALM entity. You can choose to display data of a selected baseline. To each report section you assign a template, that determines the fields and layout of the section. You also assign document and style templates that determine the overall report appearance. Note: Report templates are managed in Project Customization. For more details, refer to the HP Application Lifecycle Management Administrator Guide: Project Report Templates. You can generate project reports in HTML or Microsoft Word. For details on creating project reports, Note: You can also create reports using standard reports, or the Document Generator. For more details, see Standard Reports Overview, andProject Documents Overview. Project Report Templates Project report templates determine the layout and style in which data is displayed in project reports. For more details on project reports, refer to the HP Application Lifecycle Management User Guide: Project Reports. This section includes: About Project Report Templates Managing Project Report Templates Working with Report Template Files About Project Report Templates Project report templates are Microsoft Word files that determine the design of project reports. Users assign templates to project reports in the Analysis View module. In the Project Report Templates link, as a project administrator, you manage report templates that are available to all project users. Note: Depending on permissions, users can create and use custom report templates, in addition to the project report templates. There are various types of templates that affect different aspects of template reports: Document Templates. Define the outline of the report layout. For example, a document template dictates the design of the title page, whether the report includes a table of contents, page orientation, page numbering, and more. Style Templates. Define the formatting (for example, tables, section headings, paragraphs) applied to Microsoft Word styles. History Templates. Define the format in which history information is displayed in report sections. Section Templates. Define the fields that are included in report sections, and the format in which they are displayed. Section templates are defined separately for each ALM entity. Predefined templates are provided for each of the above template types. You design report templates using the Template Creator tab in Microsoft Word. For more information, see Working with Report Template Files. Managing Project Report Templates As an ALM project administrator, you manage the templates that are available to project users for creating project reports. This section includes: Creating a New Report Template Editing a Report Template Duplicating a Report Template Deleting a Report Template Project Report Templates Page

Working with Report Template Files

Report templates are Microsoft Word files that contain the outline of report sections.

Note: Complete examples of report templates are provided in Project Customization. For more information, see Managing Project Report Templates.

New Manual Runner - HP Sprinter

You can now run manual tests in ALM from the Test Lab module using the new HP Sprinter. Sprinter provides enhanced functionality and a variety of tools to assist in the manual testing process, including:

the ability to create and annotate screen captures
capture movies of your run
record and run macros on your test application
automatically enter data into fields in your application
automatically include the list of your steps or user actions in any defect you submit
replicate your user actions on multiple machines with different configurations

For more information, refer to the HP Sprinter User Guide, available from the HP Application Lifecycle Management Adds-ins Page (select Help > Add-ins Page).

Sprinter functionality is not available with HP Quality Center Starter Edition or HP ALM Performance Center Edition.

Test Configurations

Using the Test Configurations tab in the Test Plan module, you can now design tests that run according to different use-cases, each with different sets of data. Each use-case is called atest configuration. Values for the test configurations are supplied from within your ALM project or from an external data resource.

Test Configurations Overview

You can run tests for different use-cases of the application you are testing. Each use-case of a test is represented by a test configuration. Atest configuration is a set of definitions that describe a specific use-case of a test. You can associate different sets of data for each test configuration. Working with test configurations enables you to run the same test under different scenarios.

When creating a test, by default, a single test configuration is created by HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). This test configuration is created with the same name as the test. Using the Test Configurations tab of the Test Plan module, you can create as many additional test configurations as needed.

You associate a test configuration with data defined in the Parameters tab of the Test Plan module. You can associate different data with each test configuration.

When creating coverage, instead of covering each requirement only at the level of the test, you can link a requirement to a test configuration. Associating test configurations with requirements provides finer granularity for requirements coverage by enabling coverage by different use-cases of a test.

After creating coverage, you define a test set in the Test Lab module. A test set can include any or all of the test configurations defined for a test, or it can include test configurations based on requirement coverage. When you run a test set, the parameter values are retrieved from the data resource according to the settings defined for each test configuration.

Traceability Matrix

You can now determine the extent of relationships between requirements and other requirements, and between requirements and tests using the Traceability Matrix view in theRequirements module. The traceability matrix helps you verify that all requirements are met, and identify changes to the scope of your requirements when they occur. For more information, refer to the HP Application Lifecycle Management User Guide: Traceability Matrix. Traceability Matrix Overview The traceability matrix enables you to determine the extent of relationships between requirements and other requirements, and between requirements and tests. It helps you verify that all requirements are met, and identify changes to the scope of your requirements when they occur. The traceability matrix lists source requirements, and their associated requirements and tests. The total number of relationships is listed for each source requirement. A low value may imply that the source requirement is not associated with enough requirements or tests. A high value may imply that the source requirement is too complex and can perhaps be simplified. A zero value indicates that no relationship exists. For task details, see How to Use the Traceability Matrix. How to Use the Traceability Matrix This task describes how to configure and display the traceability matrix. To learn more about the traceability matrix, see Traceability Matrix Overview. Tip: For a use-case scenario related to this task, see How to Use the Traceability Matrix - Use-Case Scenario. Prerequisites  Define requirement traceability links. In the Requirements module, select View > Requirement Details. Click the Requirements Traceability tab.
