Micro Focus ALM Microsoft Excel Add-in 17.0

Micro Focus ALM Microsoft Excel Add-in is a plug-in for Microsoft Excel that lets teams create, update, and synchronize Micro Focus ALM/Quality Center entities—such as requirements, tests, test steps, and defects—directly from spreadsheets. It provides a guided wizard to map Excel columns to ALM fields (including custom fields), validate data before submission, and perform bulk imports or updates without manual re-entry. You can also export data from ALM to Excel for offline analysis and then re-import approved changes, helping maintain a single source of truth.

Key capabilities:

• Bi-directional data exchange: import to and export from ALM projects
• Flexible field mapping with reusable templates; supports lists and custom fields
• Bulk operations with pre-validation and detailed error reporting
• Support for hierarchical structures (for example, requirement or test plan trees) via path columns
• Works with ALM permissions, workflows, and customizations defined by your administrators
• Secure connections to ALM domains/projects using your configured authentication (including SSO where enabled)
• Proxy and SSL/TLS support according to your environment

Benefits:

• Reduces manual copy/paste and data-entry errors
• Speeds migration of existing spreadsheets into ALM
• Enables offline review and mass updates while preserving ALM audit trails

Typical use cases:

• Migrating legacy requirements or test cases from Excel to ALM
• Performing mass updates to fields such as status, priority, or owner
• Exporting reports to Excel for analysis and syncing approved changes back to ALM

Basic requirements:

• Microsoft Windows with a supported version of Microsoft Excel (32-bit or 64-bit)
• Network access to a compatible Micro Focus ALM/Quality Center server
• Appropriate ALM user permissions for the target entities and projects
