7 Alerting on Changes You can instruct Quality Center to create alerts automatically and send e-mail to notify those responsible when certain changes occur in your project that may impact the testing process. You can also add your own, follow-up alerts To generate automatic notification alerts, your Quality Center project administrator must activate alert rules in Project Customization. Alert rules are based on associations you make in Quality Center between requirements, tests, and defects. When an entity in your project changes, Quality Center alerts any associated entities that may be impacted by the change. The alerts can be seen by all users. Quality Center also notifies the person responsible for the entity at the time of the change of any associated entities that may be impacted by the change. Quality Center also enables you to add your own follow up-flag to a specific requirement, test, test instance, or defect to remind you to follow up on an issue. When the follow-up date arrives, Quality Center sends you an e-mail reminder. In this lesson, you will earn about: ‘On page: Triggering an Alert 124 ‘Creating Follow Up Alerts 126 123
