Difference between test environment & test cell in RQM 4.0.1. Why we are using lab resources as we have alreadt set the test environment

For more detailed information, InfoCenter is always a good place to look at. You may want to check this topic:
For a use case scenario sample, you could refer to this article: https://jazz.net/library/article/976/
(check the "Using a test cell for preparing robust test bed" section)

Adding to this topic that:
- the example provided by Thomas is VERY enlightening.
- a GLOBAL view of Test Lab management capabilities of RQM could be found in the following blog post: http://sleroyblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/10/rqm-test-lab-management-a-cheat-sheet/
Hello Kritika,
Maybe this helps also:
test cell: RealLife Usage
What is concrete used for Testing maybe fulfilling a defined Test Environment.
test environment: Planning Description:
What is needed to Test the Application or System may be defined by multiple Machines and their software configuration.
For Example: You want to automated tests against your “Web” Application:
1) Environment:
Sample definition of one test environment called “TEST-ENV-STAGE” you which must be provided be someone in the IT:
TEST-ENV-STAGE Contains:
A) A Server Machine with the App Server and Database
Sample: processor: i5 ram: 8GIG OS: Linux, AppServer: WAS Database: DB2
B) A Client Machine with a Browser and the test automation tool
Sample: processor: i5 ram: 2GIG OS: Windows Automation Tool: RFT
2) Testcell:
In a Test Cell you concretely show which machine fulfills your needed test environment definition.
Sample: TESTCELL-FOR-ENV-STAGE fulfills TEST-ENV-STAGE by usingConcrete - LabResoure:
a) Hostname: TE20130701-Server.sample.jazz.net -> mapping to Server Machine in the test enviornment.
b) Hostname: TE20130701-AutomationClientsample.jazz.net -> mapping to Client Machine in the testenvironment
