I have personally used HP's QC in general, but I have had a few issues with QC. When I was looking to upgrade, I had the same questions regarding stability and how testing would pan out. I personally took a different road and looked at different alternatives, just to see what was out there. QC alternatives were mentioned on http://breakfreefromhp.com/ .. have you ever heard of this web site Serge? Also, have you ever tried out different testing tools? I am curious to my options. - Michael Wilson Serge,

QC has this info in the DB as defects move from assigned to fixed but no way to get the info out Here’s a feature I would like….tell me which developer is the most productive and least productive (i.e. who fixed the most bugs, the fastest etc.).

Just to recap... - Version 1.1, which is being updated for the version 1.2. - Version 1.1.1, which was imported from 1.1 and modified for the parallel development/testing. - You're finished with version 1.1.1 tests and take a baseline - You retrofit your changes back into version 1.2 tests. Here is my question... 1. What do you do with the actual tests in Test Plan that were imported (i.e. 1.1.1)? If you delete them, all run history is lost.

How do I get rid of obsolete versions? If every time a test is modified a new version is created, you are going to very quickly create a lot of versions. Now I know that there is no delta management of versions, every change results in a complete copy of the test as the new version. So how much space is gonig to be consummed for this? How, when I reach version 20 of a test do I get rid of versions 1-10? I will not advise using version control until HP can publish a solution for that. Here is a question on verson control.

From what I have seen, it runs seamlesly and the installation/customization is also pretty straight forward. This version has actually taken off a pile of pending works from QC admin section and caters widely to the testing community for all facets. Your article is equally briliant, Serge. Thanks for putting this up. Regards, Nithin I’ve just been investigating and playing on the version 10 starter edition from HP.

An example of the test approval process is listed as below: 1. "Tester 1" writes some test cases in “test plan tab” 2. "Tester 2" reviews the test cases and finds some comments/inputs to be added. 3. Tester 1 again incorporates these review comments in QC and finally it goes next level for review and approval. Here, is there a way out to track these test cases review comments along with their respective versions and the complete test case approval process. if there is a link or document for this please direct me.

I have a question here regarding the QC 10.0 “version control system” and that is as to how we go about maintaining the complete “Test cases “approval process in the test lab.
An example of the test approval process is listed as below:
1. “Tester 1″ writes some test cases in “test plan tab”
2. “Tester 2″ reviews the test cases and finds some comments/inputs to be added.
3. Tester 1 again incorporates these review comments in QC and finally it goes next level for review and approval.
Here, is there a way out to track these test cases review comments along with their respective versions and the complete test case approval process.
