After you associate Rational® requirements collections or modules
with HP ALM test folders, you can check that each requirement has
a corresponding test case. You can then update links to reflect any
changes or generate any missing HP ALM test cases and link them to
a corresponding requirement.
Checking HP ALM test cases
and Rational requirements
ensures that you have thorough testing coverage and traceability for
each requirement.
About this task
Before you can generate test cases for requirements in requirement
collections, you must associate requirement collections or modules
to HP ALM test folders, see the related links.
Procedure
- Locate the HP ALM test folder that you are working with.
You can find the test folder from your Rational requirements management dashboard.
- From your Rational requirements
management dashboard, select and hover
over the collection you are working with.
- From the preview, locate the Links section
and click the Validated By link to go to the Rational Adapter for HP ALM
resource page.

- Detailed information about the HP ALM test plan you selected
is shown, including a link to the Rational requirements
collection in the Validates Requirements Collections section.
- Click the twistie next to the link to open a rich representation
of the collection.

- Click Create Test Cases. A
comparison is made between the tests in the HP ALM test plan and requirements
from the Rational requirements
collection. A list of any requirements without test plans is returned.
- Select the requirements for which you want to create new
test cases and click Create Tests. When the
tests are created, they are given the same title and description as
the requirement they are linked to and a link between the requirements
is also created.
