What's New in QuickTest Professional 11.00?

Manage Your Test Data

Quality Center (HP ALM) test configuration functionality enables you to determine at runtime which data sets to use for your tests.

ALM test configurations enable you to:

    * Unbind your data from your tests
    * Share common data sources across different tests
    * Filter your data to fit your testing needs
    * Increase requirements traceability

You store the data for your tests in the Quality Center Test Resources module in the form of data table resource files.

You can then define multiple test configurations for a test in the Test Plan module. When working with data-driven QuickTest tests in HP ALM, each configuration is a QuickTest test that is set to run with a selected data resource file and optional data filter settings.

One or more specific configurations of the test can be included in a Test Set to cover different parts of a requirement or to cover multiple requirements.

By using Quality Center test configurations, you can create more generic tests and reuse them by associating a different set of data with each. You can also reuse your data by associating the same data table file with multiple tests.
