Move / Copy folders between projects and domains in QC / ALM


Have you ever tried copying folders between projects and different domains in Quality Center or ALM ?

If you have you would know that it's as simple as the steps below:


  1. Select the resource or folder that you want to copy in the test resource tree. To copy more than one item, use the CTRL key.
  2. Choose Edit > Copy. Alternatively, right-click and choose Copy.
  3. Open another instance of Quality Center and log in to the project to which
  4. you want to paste the resource or folders.
  5. Select the folder to which you want to copy the resources or folders.
  6. Choose Edit > Paste. Alternatively, right-click and choose Paste. The Paste Resources to Target Project dialog box opens. 
  7. Select one of the following options:
    1. Copy resources and link to existing related entities. QC copies the test resources or folders and pastes them into the target project. The copied test resources or folders are linked to existing test resources and called tests with the same name. If a related test resource or a test does not exist in the target project, Quality Center copies it to the target project.
    2. Copy resources and related entities. Quality Center copies the test resources or folders along with the related test resources and called tests, and pastes them into the target project. If a related test resource or a called test already exists in the target project, the copied related test resource or called test is renamed to resolve the duplicate name.
    3. Copy resources without copying related entities. Quality Center copies the test resources or folders without copying the related test resources or called tests, and pastes them into the target project. The copied items are not linked to any related entities.


That's about it! Happy Testing...

Software Testing @ Microsoft

Image
In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
