Connecting to HP ALM (Quality Center)

Adding a Repository

Before queries can be created over HP ALM requirements and defects, you must first set up an HP ALM Task Repository in the Task Repositories View:

  1. Open the Task Repositories View – from the Window menu select Window > Show View > Other > Mylyn > Task Repositories
  2. In the view that opens, click the Add Task Repository button in the view toolbar.
  3. In the wizard that opens, select ‘HP ALM 11’ (or in some installations ‘HP Quality Center 10 and HP ALM 11’) from the list of available repositories and click Next.
  4. In the server field, enter the HP ALM web service URL. For example, http://server.com:8080/qcbin
  5. Choose a label for the repository and enter your credentials. Check the Save password box if you want the password to persist between workbench sessions.
  6. Click Refresh to download the list of domains and projects available on the server, and select the Domain and Project that you would like to connect to (if you already know the Domain and Project, you can just enter the URL in the format http://server:8080/qcbin;Domain;Project). If you want to connect to more than one project, you will have to repeat this process to set up a repository for each one.
  7. Press the Validate Settings button to confirm that the settings are correct.
  8. Press the Finish button

At this point you may wish to create a new query or create a new task. Or, if your HP ALM server has ALI 1.1 or greater installed, you can automatically provision your workspace with the queries and source code for a release.
