Micro Focus Compatibility and Limitations

Compatibility

The Micro Focus ALM Connector supports the following versions:

  • MicroFocus ALM: Versions 12.5 to 15.01
  • Quality Center
  • HP-ALM

Limitations

  1. Comments Synchronization:

    • Comments are synchronized only if added through the User Interface with their separator intact.

  2. Undefined Requirements:

    • Currently, only undefined requirements are supported.

  3. Test Steps Synchronization:

    • Changes made solely to test steps will not trigger synchronization unless a workflow script is added.

Resolving Test Steps Synchronization Issue

A script to resolve this issue can be found in the ./install directory:

  • Script Location: ./MicroFocus/StepsTrigger.vbscript

    Steps to Implement:

    1. Create a string field in MicroFocus under the test entity. This field will be updated when test steps are added or modified.
    2. Copy the provided script into the MicroFocus workflow and adjust the script to reference the newly created field.

  • For Jira Integration:

    A Groovy script is provided in the ./Jira directory for use with the ScriptRunner add-on in Jira.

    Steps to Implement:

    1. Create a datetime field in Jira.
    2. Create a custom listener in ScriptRunner for the “Test or pre-condition updated” event.
    3. Copy the provided script to the listener and replace “Calc Sync Date” with the name of the datetime field you created.

    Custom Listener

  1. Link Synchronization:

    • Adding or removing links between entities without changing any other field in the entity will not trigger synchronization.

  2. Multi-Select Fields:

    • Changes in multi-select fields do not trigger synchronization.
