how to integrate bugzilla and HP quality center?

Question

I'm working on integrating Bugzilla with HP Qc. I'm performing this by using perl script by directly manipulating the database using sql commands. I want to use the web services of Bugzilla. I have gone through the Bugzilla webservice API but tat wasn't enough to get started. I'm a beginner and this is the first project of my career. How do I go about this?

Would it be better to retag this as hp and hp-quality-center since it's a product made by HP? — Crippledsmurf, Dec 09 '09 at 05:30

Check out the Perl script bz_webservice_demo.pl in Bugzilla's contrib directory, it shows how to talk to Bugzilla via XMLRPC.

There are a few things you could do:

Export defects from Bugzilla into a spreadsheet and upload it into Quality Center
Use the Open Test Architecture API (OTAClient.dll) to update defects in Quality Center
Use the HP Synchronization Server and build an adapter

Using the HP Synchronizer is probably the only "real" way to do it. Though you could potentially build your own sync mechanism, potentially using just OTA and a message queue.

There may be an existing adapter available from proficom-ag based on a presentation I found via a web search
