RQM 2.0 Beta 2- Customization questions
Hi,
I have the following questions about the possibility of customizing RQM
in version 2.0. I would like to know if what I am proposing is feasible
although some custom code is needed.
* Process Template: can I customize and export a new testing process
template so when I create a new project area I can select other process
templates (as it works in RTC) instead of having only the default
"Quality Manager Default Process"
* With the RTC client I can customize everything in requirements,
defects, tasks... but what about TestPlans, TEst Cases, Test results?
From the web user interface I can create/remove sections, add/modify
enumeration fields..
But what about delete specific fields as for example description that
come by default?
What about add new fields that are not enumeration values? Can I add
standard text fields?
What about modify default value names for test execution results?
* Multi-language: it works fine with default fields and menus. But what
about if I create a new field? Is there any way (xml file for example)
to make this customized field also multivalue?
* Can I add new columns to the manual script steps? for example, in
addition to step number, step type, description and expected results I
would like to add a new column to enter additional info. Is this
possible although with custom code?
Many thanks in advance,

Hi,
* Can I add new columns to the manual script steps? for example, in
addition to step number, step type, description and expected results I
would like to add a new column to enter additional info. Is this

I can answer the above question around manual script customization: at the moment, you cannot add new columns. That said, it is possible to display an additional comments column for a Test Script. Click on the "Show/Hide Comments column" toolbar button for the manual test script editor, and choose to "Show comments column".
This will give you a Comments column where you can add additional information per step.
Note: you can still enter comments per step without explicitly showing the Comments column: the comment will appear as an icon to the right of the step; comments can be viewed by hovering/mousing over the comment icon.
Couple more answers:
* Process Template: can I customize and export a new testing process
template so when I create a new project area I can select other process
templates (as it works in RTC) instead of having only the default
"Quality Manager Default Process"
No, only the Quality Manager Default Process template can be used at this time.
* With the RTC client I can customize everything in requirements,
defects, tasks... but what about TestPlans, TEst Cases, Test results?
From the web user interface I can create/remove sections, add/modify
enumeration fields..
But what about delete specific fields as for example description that
come by default?
What about add new fields that are not enumeration values? Can I add
standard text fields?
What about modify default value names for test execution results?
This type of field customization is not available in the 2.0 release for the test artifacts. I would recommend submitting an enhancement request.
To modify the names of execution states, try the Execution States settings under Admin/System Properties.

Hi, I got a problem when I'm creating a manual test script from test case design. Either the "Create manual test script from test case design feature of RQM" is not implemented correctly, or it is hard to figure out how it is working. There should be a way for Test Case Design formatting, which allow creating a correct manual test script from it. Currently, when you finish typing the statements in the text area, click the "Create manual test script from test case design icon (Generate new test script)" to automatically create a test script from the statements in the text editor.
But whatever the user enters in the Test Case design text area, in the generated manual test script, it is put in the "Description" column and nothing can be put in the "Expected result" column. From user point of view, it is expected to have a way to specify an execution step and expected result as well. It makes no sense to put everything in the same column in the generated manual test script. So, my question is: Is there a way to make the RQM to put text in the "Expected result" column in the automatically created test scripts.
Proposal: Most people format there Test Case Design in a table with 2 columns - Execution Step and Expected result. Maybe it is a good idea to specify a template for it to be used by the users for the easily creation of manual test scripts from test case design.
