Alm Edit Lab Test Description
- ALM Testing – Sidebar: Test Lab: A test set contains a subset of the tests in an HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) project designed to achieve specific test goals. As your application changes, you run the manual and automated tests in your project in order to locate defects and assess quality.
- 1) If even a single step is in No Run state and other are passed then the overall status will be displayed as Not Complete. 2) Diff statuses: No Run, Passed, Failed, Not Complete, N/A. Rest you can customize. 3) Yes you can pass a TC without opening by directly setting the status as Passed from test suite in test lab.
Add Time Dependency to Flow Adds a time dependency icon to the diagram. Test Sets (Test Lab module) Edit (Test Runs module). ALM Edition: For functional test sets, opens the Execution Report page for the selected test set, displaying the last Execution Report belonging to this test set.

HP Application Lifecycle Management (HP ALM) is a set of software tools developed and marketed by Micro Focus for application development and testing. It includes tools for requirements management, test planning and functional testing, performance testing (when used with HP Performance Center), developer management (through integration with developer environments such as Collabnet, TeamForge and Microsoft Visual Studio), and defect management.[1][2]
ALM is designed to support key stakeholders responsible for delivering applications as they progress through their lifecycle. It is a combination of a common platform, several key applications and a dashboard targeted at managing the core lifecycle of applications, from design through readiness for delivery to operations.[3] All of these core lifecycle activities are connected together from a workflow perspective with a common management console, layer of project tracking and planning and built on a common software foundation containing a consistent repository and open integration architecture with a supported SDK.[4]
ALM is intended to provide Information Technology departments with a centralized application management platform for managing and automating within and across application teams and throughout the complete process of developing an application, within a single workflow.[1] HP offers a number of consulting services to support ALM.
- 1Components of HP ALM
Components of HP ALM[edit]
Project planning and tracking[edit]
ALM provides project planning and tracking so application development solutions teams can define, track, measure, and report on project milestones and key performance indicators.[3]
Application lifecycle intelligence[edit]
Real-time traceability of requirements and defects.
Lab management automation[edit]
HP lab management capability allows testing teams to provision and deploy a test lab themselves in a hybrid delivery environment (bare-metal or virtual, in-house or in the cloud) through integration of HP ALM with HP Continuous Delivery Automation (CDA).[5]
Asset sharing and re-use[edit]
ALM supports sharable asset libraries that can be reused across projects while maintaining traceability. Specific changes can be applied to shared assets for each project while maintaining library integrity, and projects can re-synch with the library as needed. Cross-project defect collaboration is also supported.[6]
Cross-project reporting[edit]
ALM provides cross-project reporting and pre-configured business views for reports such as aggregated project status metrics, application quality metrics, requirements coverage, and defect trends for both an enterprise release and individual projects.[7]
HP Enterprise Collaboration[edit]
HP Enterprise Collaboration uses social media for application development teams to communicate without leaving the HP ALM environment. Users can import relevant objects (defects, incidents, reports) for participants to review and comment on.[8]
HP Performance Center[edit]
Alm Test Management
Performance Center software is an enterprise-class performance testing platform and framework. The solution is used by IT departments to standardize, centralize and conduct performance testing, as well as reuse[9] previous test cases. Performance Center finds software code flaws across the lifecycle of applications. Built on HP LoadRunner software, HP Performance Center supports developer testing and integrates with HP ALM.[10]
Quality assurance[edit]
ALM includes quality assurance features for risk-based test planning and management, version control, baselining, quality release and cycle management, test scheduling and execution, integrated manual testing and defect management.[7]
HP Quality Center is a quality management platform that can be used for a single project or across multiple IT projects to manage application quality across the entire application lifecycle. The solution provides requirements management, release and cycle management, test management, defect management and reporting from a single platform.[11]
Requirements definition and management[edit]
ALM is used by IT departments to capture, manage and track requirements throughout the application development and testing cycle.[12]
Fortify security[edit]
Fortify security software, from Fortify Software, provides application security software, including both dynamic web application security testing and static code analysis. HP Fortify security software integrates with ALM secure application delivery.[13]
Multi-environment support[edit]
ALM can be installed on-site or delivered through the cloud in a [Software as a Service] (SaaS) model.[14] HP ALM is also available for mobile device support, including Apple iPhone and Android mobile devices.[15]

I have created a piece of code in vbscript through which I am able to create test scripts in ALM via OTA.Now I am trying to do the same thing through Java using JACOB as the Java 2 Com bridge and I have been able to create an empty test script using this, but I am not sure how to set the various field values.
VBScript Code (That works perfectly):
Alms Test Answers
Java code (Only that much that works)
Now the issue is the last line in the VBScript code,
How do I code this in Java using JACOB?Please help. I have done a lot of google searching, but haven't found anything substantial.
