Notes:

You can instruct Quality Center to create alerts automatically and send email to notify those responsible when changes occur in your project that may impact the testing process.

Traceability can be achieved in two ways 1) Automatic Alerts & 2)Follow Up alerts

Automatic Alerts

• Automatic Alerts generation depend on the configuration set by your Quality Center administrator
• Examples of Automatic Traceability alerts are when a requirement changes , the designers of associated test are notified, when the status of a defect changes to “Fixed”, the responsible tester of the test instance is notified.

Follow Up Alerts

• You can use follow up flags to remind yourself to follow up on something.
• You can set follow up flags for  a test in the test plan tree or Test Grid, a test instance in the Execution Grid &  a defect in the Defects Grid
• You can view or modify existing alerts.
