Dragonfly is a native plugin for SmartBear ReadyAPI that enables seamless integration with HP/Opentext ALM (formerly HP ALM/Quality Center). It allows users to automatically export ReadyAPI test cases and test run results to ALM with simple configurations and without writing code. Dragonfly supports both exporting new tests and mapping existing ReadyAPI tests to pre-defined ALM test cases, ensuring traceability and alignment between automated testing and ALM-managed test plans. The plugin exposes context menus and workflows directly within ReadyAPI, allowing users to perform exports at the project, testsuite, or testcase level. This integration streamlines the process of synchronizing test assets and results, reduces manual effort, and improves the accuracy and completeness of test documentation in ALM. Dragonfly is designed for QA teams seeking to bridge the gap between modern API test automation and enterprise test management systems.
