In terms of QA , ALM ( application life cycle management ) is widely used test management tools where test cases are written , executed and result uploaded . Test result uploading in ALM is one of main challenge when tests are executed through the automation tool like selenium, after successfully executing the tests ,one have to execute tests in test lab under a test set then attach report in attachment against that test run. This manual execution and report attachment in ALM is time consuming and waste of effort .

Below article explain how to integrate selenium with ALM using java language . you would able to automate this manual process of test execution and report attachment in ALM. This article will cover below topics:

1. Rest APIs Details
2. Architecture
3. Java Code to implement the integration

This implementation will cover below functionality in ALM:

1.Able to create a test instance in Execution Grid under the Test Set

2.Able to create Test Run

3. Can update status all of test steps with actual.

4. Can attach the report to the test run in attachment

Below is the Rest APIs diagram.
