Creating Test Cases in Quality Center

Here we will discuss how to create test cases in Quality Center. All test cases in HP QC and HP ALM are written in the test plan. The test lab is where we execute them. It is also recommended not to create duplicate tests in the test plan.

Now you have simply created a folder to put your test cases in. The next step is to create an actual test case. Now suppose we are writing test cases to book a flight on Expedia. We would need to write our steps and expected results.
