What's New
HP Service Test Management 10.00 includes the following enhancements:
- Testing Status tab. This tab provides a graphical display of the service's coverage of aspects, requirements, tests, operations, and defects.
- Aggregate Views. Ability to view the status of all services in a folder or belonging to a group, in a single pane.
- Modeling. A graphical mapping tool that allows you to join services into a group, and define dependencies between services.
- Test Generator Integration. Support for other script generators, aside from HP Service Test, when using the Generate Requirements/Tests wizard.
In addition, version 10.00 includes the enhancements released with HP Service Test Management 9.40.
- Rules. The Customization tool lets you define rules for your project based on filters and testing aspects. For example, you can indicate that all tests created by user John, must undergo the Security testing aspect.
- Alerts. The alerts mechanism indicates rule violations and guides you in resolving them.
- Spot Testing. The Web Service Call utility lets you spot-test single operations. You provide request values, submit them to the server, and view the SOAP response.
Notes and Limitations
- Importing services may fail if you set the Service fields to Required in project customization.
- In the customization for Service Test Management (Tools > Customize), when working in the Aspects tab—if you select a requirement type whose coverage is set to None (Requirement Type link in customization), or if you deleted the requirement type—you may encounter unexpected results when generating requirements for that aspect.
- Vista users must log in to the Quality Center project with administrative privileges.
- When installing Service Test Management on a Linux machine, disregard the following message: `Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /opt/HP/STM/_jvm/lib/tools.jar'.
- The following error occurs if the Quality Center server is not restarted after adding an SOA license. When you click the Site Connections tab and there is at least one user connection, an error is returned. Workaround: Restart Quality Center server after installing the SOA license.
- Importing from UDDIs through proxy servers is not supported.
- You cannot import WSDL files that are located in a secured network share. Workaround: Copy the file to a local folder or to a non-secure location.
- You cannot change a requirement's Testing Aspect Type field.
- WSDL files with non-English characters are not supported.
- If you enable versioning on a Service Test Management enabled project, part of the Quality Center functionality may be unavailable (planned fix in patch 1 of Service Test Management).
Upgrade Issues
- Updating a project from Service Test Management version 9.4x to version 10.00, may result in missing Service Groups. Create the groups again in the updated project.
- Updating a project from Service Test Management version 9.4x to version 10.00 or performing an automatic copy from one project to another within version 10.00, may result in missing folders. Workaround: Manually copy the missing mstm folder through the Windows Explorer into the location of the new repository.
- When upgrading a from Quality Center 9.2 to Quality Center 10.00, the Service Test Management extension can be enabled only after the upgrade.
- After upgrading a project from Service Test Management version 9.4x to version 10.00, the Interoperability Aspect view wrongly shows the aspect as not covered. The tests were covered and this is visible in the expanded tree view.
