Quality Center data.
The project database stores system information, some user information, and information produced while using the Quality Center modules.
Requirements data is stored primarily in the REQ Table. For more details, see the Requirements Module Overview.
In the Test Plan module, the user defines the subjects to be tested and designs tests that relate to each test. The main table is the TEST Table. For more details, see the Test Plan Module Overview.
In the Test Lab Module, the user organizes design tests in ordered groups called Test Sets that will usually run as a testing unit. The main table is the CYCLE Table. For more details, see the Test Lab Module Overview.
In the Business Components Module, subject matter experts create high-level components that represent steps in the business process. The main table is the COMPONENT Table. For more details, see the Business Process Overview.
In the defect module, QA engineers and others report problems with the application, such as test run failures and incidentally observed problems. The main table is the BUG Table. For more details, see the Defect Module Overview.
The Releases module handles information about releases and development cycles. Release information is stored in several tables, depending on the subject. See the Releases Overview.
The Customization module handles meta-properties for a project. Customization is stored in several tables, depending on the subject. See the Customization Overview.
Changes to data are tracked in the AUDIT_LOG and AUDIT_PROPERTIES Tables.
Alerts are maintained in the ALERT and RULES Tables.
