Using Open Test Architecture (OTA) Library Methods In TestStand

Hello,

 

I am trying to find information on how to use the OTA library that HP provides to control their HP Application Life-cycle Management (ALM), formerly HP Quality Center, test tracking software. I want to use ActiveX actions in TestStand that will create test runs, load in generic information about the test (pass/fail, tester name, timestamp, etc.), and attach the log file to the test run.

 

I have only gotten so far as logging into my desired HP ALM project, sent an email from HP ALM to myself (subject, and message, nothing really valuable), and logging out of said project. When I try and create an object for getting information from certain fields in HP ALM as a "proof of concept," I run into the issue where I cant create the object type I need in order to use the methods I want. I think I should be making an ITestFactory object in order to get the data from the fields, but the option to "Create Object" is greyed out in TestStand when I select that object class.

 

Could someone with experience please help me out?

 

Thanks,

Mitch M.

Hi Mitch_M,

 

As you pointed out, for questions about OTA it is better to contact HP. However, here are some links about ActiveX inTestStand that I think may be useful to you.

I hope you find this information useful.

 

Regards,
