I. ITC Project Code A. Assigned To and Assigned Team field Customizations

The Assigned To list box should only display Users who belong to the Team that was selected in the Assigned Team list box. To do this, a number of things must be considered: 1. Each Team must be its own separate list. This is because it is impossible to hide list items from users. We have removed the original ASSIGNED TO lookup list and created a lookup list for each individual Team, containing its users. When you need to add or delete users to the project, make sure you add/delete the users from the Team in the Customize Project List section. 2. When a user changes the Assigned Team field, the Assigned To field will be blanked out so the user will be forced to enter a valid user that belongs to the new Team. 3. Since the Assigned To needs to be a lookup list, the original Assigned To field (BG_RESPONSIBLE), which is a USER LIST, has been hidden from users. However, we need to synch the value between the two Assigned To fields because the User List is needed for the Defect Automatic Mail feature. Fields Involved: Assigned To BG_USER_18 Assigned Team BG_USER_01 AssignedTo (original field, hidden) BG_RESPONSIBLE Code: Defects Module: Sub Bug_MoveTo On Error Resume Next 'Change the Assigned To list to the respective Team based on the Assigned Team field Bug_Fields("BG_USER_18").List = Lists(Bug_Fields("BG_USER_01").Value) On Error Goto 0 End Sub Sub Bug_FieldChange(FieldName) 'Synch the Assigned To Lookup List with the AssignedTo User List if FieldName = "BG_USER_18" then Bug_Fields("BG_RESPONSIBLE").Value = Bug_Fields("BG_USER_18").Value elseif FieldName = "BG_USER_01" then 'If Assigned Team has changed, change the Assigned To list accordingly Bug_Fields("BG_USER_18").List = Lists(Bug_Fields("BG_USER_01").Value) 'Blank out Assigned To if Assigned Team changes to a group user doesn't belong to if VerifyUserExistsInGroup("BG_USER_01", "BG_USER_18") = 0 then Bug_Fields("BG_USER_18").Value = "" Bug_Fields("BG_RESPONSIBLE").Value = ""

B. Detected By and Detected By Team Customizations

When adding a new Defect, the Detected by field is automatically filled in by Quality Center. We need to automatically fill in the Detected By Team with the team the user belongs to. Below are some considerations: 1. Make sure all Users in the Project belongs to a Team in the Customize Project List section, else, the user cannot select a Detected By Team.

Application Lifecycle

2. When the user changes the Detected By Team field to a Team he/she does not belongs to, the Detected By field should be blanked out. 3. When the user changes the Detected By, the Detected By Team should be automatically switched to the Team the user belongs to.

Fields Involved: Detected By BG_DETECTED_BY Detected By Team BG_USER_02 Code: Defects Module: Sub Bug_New On Error Resume Next WizardFieldCust_Add ' Added by wizard 'Auto populate Detected By Team Bug_Fields("BG_USER_02").Value = FindUserGroup(Bug_Fields("BG_DETECTED_BY").Value) On Error Goto 0 End Sub Sub Bug_FieldChange(FieldName) 'Blank out Detected By if Detected By Team changes to a group user doesn't belong to if FieldName = "BG_USER_02" then if VerifyUserExistsInGroup("BG_USER_02", "BG_DETECTED_BY") = 0 then Bug_Fields("BG_DETECTED_BY").Value = "" end if 'Auto populated Detected By Team elseif FieldName = "BG_DETECTED_BY" then Bug_Fields("BG_USER_02").Value FindUserGroup(Bug_Fields("BG_DETECTED_BY").Value) end if End Sub Function VerifyUserExistsInGroup(Field1, Field2) On Error Resume Next This Function verifies whether the User exists in a Team.

C. Retest_QA Customizations
Whenever the Defect Status changes to Retest_QA, both the Detected By and Detected By Team fields should be copied to the Assigned To and Assigned Team fields, respectively. Fields Involved: Assigned To BG_USER_18 Assigned Team BG_USER_01 AssignedTo (original field, hidden) BG_RESPONSIBLE Detected By BG_DETECTED_BY Detected By Team BG_USER_02 Status BG_STATUS

D. Disable Add Defect Button

To prevent users from adding Defects directly from the Defects module, we need to disable the Add Defect button there. We need to force users to only use the Add Defect button when running a Manual Test. This way, traceability is enforced. NOTE: Users still will be able to Add Defects from the following locations: Add Defect button when running a Manual Test Linked Defects dialog box From the main Tools menu

On Error Resume Next 'Disable the Add Defect button in the Defects module if not an Admin If ActiveModule = "Defects" and Not(User.IsInGroup("ADMIN")) then Actions.Action("BugAddAction1").Visible = false end if On Error GoTo 0 End Sub

E. Copy KPC and Test Name from Test Lab to Defects

The Key Process Chain field and Test Name in Test Lab should be copied to the Defect that user adds. The Workflow code requires that we pass data from one module to another (Test Lab to Defects). However, Quality Centers Workflow module does not have this capability. To get around this problem, we have to have the Test Lab module write temporary data to a file, which the Defects module will read and delete after use. The file will be written on one of the following locations, depending on the Client machines Operating System: C:\WinNT\Temp\QC_KCS.txt C:\Windows\Temp\QC_KCS.txt

F. Run Manually and Continue Manual Run Customizations

The Run Manually and Continue Manual Run buttons should be enabled or disabled depending on the current Status of the Test highlighted in the Test Lab Execution Grid. The following are the rules:

Test Status No Run Yes

Run Manually

Continue Manual Run No

Not Completed Passed Failed

NOTE: There is a bug in the QC Workflow wherein disabling either the Run or Continue Run button doesnt work, when you either first enter the Test Lab module, or when you press the Refresh All button in the Test Set Tree area. So we have to add a Message to the User to prevent them from pressing the wrong button in these cases.

III. Administrator Lockout Code

The purpose of this code is to enable Administrator to prevent users from logging in during a maintenance period. The following are the requirements: 1. Create a file called AllowedUsers.txt in the Project Repository. To find the Project Repository: a. Login to Site Administrator and go to the Site Projects tab. b. Highlight the project you want to lock down. On the right, you will see an edit box called Project Directory. This is where you need to create the file. 2. Copy and Paste the Workflow code below in the Customization area of the project that you wish to lock down. 3. The following are the rules that the code will follow: a. If the file is empty, all users can log in. b. If the file contains Quality Center usernames, each of which are separated by New Lines, only those users are allowed to log in. For example, the following entries will allow only alex_qc and alice_qc to log in:

alex_qc alice_qc

IV. Site Administrator Usage queries

The following SQL queries can be ran in TOAD against the QCSiteAdmin_DB Schema to get usage statistics

A. List of users who have not logged in within a certain date range:
select user_name from users where user_name not in (select distinct(user_name) from sessions_history where start_time>=to_date('08/06/2007', 'mm/dd/yyyy') and start_time<=to_date('08/09/2007', 'mm/dd/yyyy'));

The first date is the From date, while the second is the To date.

B. List of idle sessions at a specified amount of time (hours):

select p.ps_domain_name, p.ps_project_name, l.ls_login_time,

Application Lifecycle

Customer Page 27

l.ls_last_action_time, l.ls_client_type from login_sessions l, project_sessions p where (((select sysdate from dual)-ls_last_action_time) * 24 > 1) and l.ls_id = p.ps_ls_id

The 1 after the > symbol is 1 hour.

V. Next Responsible Workflow Code: A. Next Responsible Rules and Challenges:

1. NextResponsible code should work when a Step is Passed or Deferred. 2. NextResponsible code should not work if any of the Steps are Failed. 3. It should no work if the next TESTER is already the same as the Next Responsible. This is because making an unneeded change will trigger a mail to the Next Responsible person. 5. When all Steps are Passed, or when the Pass All button is pressed, the Next Responsible field will have the value of "Test Passed". 6. To find the next Step, we use a SQL Statement that orders the Steps for that Run according to ST_STEP_ORDER. However, we do not assume that the next Step is ST_STEP_ORDER + 1. This is because users have the capability of deleting Steps. Thus, you may have an order of 1, 2, 3, 5, where Step of Order 4 was deleted. To make sure we have the correct Step, we use a SQL Statement ordered on the said field, and get the next Record in line. 7. We need to make sure that we post the NextResponsible field only if the user presses End Run button. If the User presses the x button to close the Manual Runner window, then a dialog appears that asks the User whether he wants to post the Run. We need to run the code, only if a Yes was pressed. To do this, the Actual posting of data occurs in the ManualRun_Run_AferPost event. 8. If the Step's Status was changed to No Run, and the previous Step shows Passed or Deferred, the Next Responsible should change to this current Step's Tester. 9. If the Step's TESTER field was changed, this Step's Status is No Run, and the previous Step is Passed or Deferred, the Next Responsible field should also change. 10. Step deletion - When a user Deletes a Step during the Run, and if the Step before that deleted Step has a Status of either Passed or Deferred, the Next Responsible should change to the Tester of the Step that comes After it. Challenge: Workflow doesn't catch whether the User pressed Yes or No on the Delete Step Confirmation dialog box. In order to detect this, we use the following methodology: a. Use a Public variable to switch on when the Delete Step action is executed. Also record the Step ID of the step highlighted when the button was pressed. b. In the Event immediately after this action (occurs after confirmation message), which is the Step_MoveTo, if the flag is True, find out if the Step still exists. then the user pressed "No", we do nothing. Otherwise, we assign the Next Responsible.

B. Recommendations:
1. The code is not completely tested for freedom from bugs. Therefore, do not use without extensive testing. 2. This code is complex, and has coded around limitations due to the behavior and design of the Quality Center User Interface. This may pose a problem when upgrading to next versions of Quality Center, as the User Interface changes. Therefore, I recommend either of the following before such a time arises: a. I recommend the Services of HP Professional Services Organization before upgrading to a new version, to properly test and make modifications to the code as necessary. b. Consider not using the code at all, and try restructuring the Test Cases in a way where each Tester is responsible for their own Tests instead of Testers sharing Tests and owning separate Steps within the same Test Cases. I recommend this because with the latter structure, the capabilities Applied Materials is looking for is already built-in to Quality Center. I also recommend a discussion between Applied Materials and an HP Consultant around customer Test Design and Execution processes to see if the recommended structure can be applied to AMAT at all.
