Rails App Integration with HPQC (HP Quality Centre

Question

I wanted to integrate hp quality centre to a rails app which is developed and deployed on a linux system.

I found that it uses the OTA (Open Test Architecture API). However it been specified that it uses a OTAclient dll for doing the activities of the api.

I would like to know if there is any documentation of such an integration been done (hpqc+rails on a linux system) ? Is it possible to attain this integration.. Any gems or plugins...?

Answer 1

Unfortunately the OTAclient.dll requires a number of Windows only dll's. We eventually created a web service on a Windows machine in C# to provide an access point for our Ruby services.

The newer version of HPQC (ALM 11) has a REST-like service that you can use but upgrading to ALM 11 may be a bit much for what you are trying to do.
