Currently we are using HP ALM 11 at our company to keep track of defects and change requests! While logging a defect or change request we specify the module in which the defect was found or changes required. Is there a way to customize this tool so that we can assign developers to modules? And later on whenever the defect or change request has been made in specific module, each developers that belongs to that modules gets notified?
Since you are talking to automate the HP QC, then you should have a look at two possibilities:
VX-API or the most recent REST-API.
Then it will be not so difficult to create automatically test/test-set/run/defect.
You can then assign a defect to a team or person and every time that the defect got modified/updated you can trigger a mail to the responsible people.
Unfortunately creating this kind of automation will require a bit of time and patience.
For instance I found ok a good start by using requests module in python and connecting to HP QC ALM REST api.
Full documentation is available on HP site and it's free :-)
Hope this help you a bit understanding your future tasks.
Have a nice day!

Hello to all the community. Within the Metatrader platform, there is a way to create accounts once the desired broker has been selected. My problem arises when I want to automate this process from code. From my search on the internet I understand that the solution could be using the .crv / .dat files, from within the config folder where said platform is installed, which contain the necessary information. But unfortunately it hasn't worked for me because I don't even know how to read them.
Specifically, I would like to know if there is any API that allows me to carry out the explained process (account management), as well as consult information (account balance, trades ...) which is also shown on the platform. Currently I am only interested in demo type accounts.
The closest solution I've found is using this API, but it's not free and also doesn't work for all brokers.
There is basically no solution to register demo accounts for any broker this way as not all brokers support registering demo accounts via MT terminal.
If a broker allows creating demo accounts via MT terminal, then it is also possible to register a demo account via MetaApi MT account management api.
For most applications the revenue application owner will earn per demo MT account is much higher than a fee MetaApi charges for API use, thus the fee just makes sense. It allows the MetaApi team to continue working on the project while not reducing application owner earnings significantly.
However if your application is low margin then you might want to automate it yourself. In this case you will also need to spend either time or money or both to implement your own solution.
Hi Overstock flow peoples,
I've been in the startup/digital marketing scene and know some things on analytics, html/css, and marketing automations and have recently picked up some SQL/Tableau. Im coming here looking for possibly help/recs on connecting a marketing system/inflow that uses Fare Harbor/Mighty Call/Life 360 and I'm wondering if I could automate things with Zapier (or some other platform), or if I'd have to do it all with development or using APIs or something.
I work with a company that does some travel taxiing/luggage help for travelers. Im looking to see if Zapier (or any other system) would be able to automate some tasks.
So clients book through Fare Harbor, their data goes into our system through Mighty Call, and we give updates to the clients on the drivers ETAs manually through Life360 (like the owner actually TEXTS people directly).
Would anyone here know if there's a way to use Zapier to automate the ETA/communication updates of Life360 through Zapier? (Or would I have to develop something completely on its own to do this?). Or know if there's any other type of software to do this immediately off the top of your head? (etc). Otherwise we have to text all these updates manually and we're trying to get away from doing things that way.
Sorry if this comes off as a rookie post, as its my first direct post on Stack Overflow, although I've used this website a number of times to configure CSS before and other ish (and this isnt my first rodeo). Any advice or direction that could be given would be IMMENSELY helpful.
I have a requirement where I need to develop a web application in which two application users negotiate with each and later after agreeing on terms they are to trade illiquid bonds via Bloomberg. For this I need to generate the BXT and SXT Trade Tickets through my application. The question really is that is this even possible without the Terminal?
A white paper on Bloomberg API's website says
Other applications are possible, for example submissions of trade orders
But I am not able to find any reference or example how this can be achieved using Bloomberg API or any other service provided by Bloomberg.
I'd be surprised if you are able to do this, by definition a web application is hosted on server x and interacted with from device y. Bloomberg's entire business model is based around having a Bloomberg terminal on device y.
I'd recommend you look at other bond trading platforms not just Bloomberg, e.g. TradeWeb, MarketAxess or even the large brokers e.g. ICAP, Tullett who may have a more suitable API.
This might come a little bit late but you might want to have a look into Bloomberg's FIX API. I am working on a similar project and I have implemented this functionality in a web application that creates and sends Trade Tickets via FIX. You do not have to have a Bloomberg terminal installed. Your FIX session will connect directly to a Bloomberg FIX endpoint.
Bloomberg has a test environment for this. You have to contact one of their representatives and ask for a Beta FIX Session.
FIX is a publicly available protocol for exchanging financial information. A good starting point would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Information_eXchange
Need suggestions on room reservation system. Posting it as I couldn't find a similar question here in SO.
Question: Can I use wordpress and create my own plugin using php/mysql for a very simple and straight-forward room reservation system (4 page workflow)? If not what are the possibilites, Please suggest.
If the post is not in the right forum, please feel free to close it or re-direct me.
Background: I work part time for a non profit organization (I dont get paid, it's just a service to the community during my free time). They own a small property with about 20-30 rooms onsite and manage their room reservations, manually with Google drive.
I've suggested them to build an online portal for reservation. This is a service project, to enhance my technical resume as well as help someone.
My technical abilities - HTML, CSS, VB, SQL, PL-sQL (A long time ago) and I'm an automation tester so very good with programming skills.
Project deadline - 4 to 6 months. (I'd be spending about 15 hours/week)
PS: If this is beyond my capabilities I will be asking them to outsource.
Did you look at SourceForge, etc, to see if you can get a ready made system for free?
You may have to tailor it a little, but it might still be the quickest & easiest way to get somethign up & running. Your skills seem fine, though (VB is fine for a Windows app, you would want PHP for web-based).
Take a look at
Meeting Room Booking System is a free, GPL, web application using PHP and MySQL/pgsql for booking meeting rooms or other resources.
Meeting Room Reservation System, a mock project for study purpose.
phpScheduleIt, a web-based resource scheduling system
OpenRoom provides a simple online interface for managing and reserving rooms
RoomTimes is a php written application with which you can manage the rooms of any organisation
or you might want to google for others
Bloomberg Open API announced recently - is it just the Bloomberg SDK which had been (limitedly) exposed to public for quite a while?
My understanding is that Bloomberg SDK is possible to use only on the machine with a Bloomberg Terminal installed, but the recently announced Open API (which is syntactically the same) will be possible to use from any machine.
Is that correct? Are there any restrictions on the new API (say, delayed responses etc)? Just cannot believe they're giving away for free something that costed money - any clarifications are welcome!
EDIT: The above was probably not clear, so to rephrase:
I wonder if the newly announced Open API is syntactically the Bloomberg SDK API (or how they call it?) which has been available for years already
assuming there are restrictions on using Open API on any machine (comparing to using SDK from a machine with Bloomberg Terminal installed) - I wonder if those restrictions are specified in detail in some official Bloomberg doc.
I can myself guess on both questions, but I thought I'd rather ask :)
Since the data is not free, you can use this Bloomberg API Emulator (disclaimer: it's my project) to learn how to send requests and make subscriptions. This emulator looks and acts just like the real Bloomberg API, although it doesn't return real data. In my time developing applications that use the Bloomberg API, I rarely care about the actual data that I'm handling; I care about how to retrieve data.
If you want to learn how to use the Bloomberg API give it a try. If you want to test out your code without an account, use this. A Bloomberg account costs about $2,000 a month, so you can save a lot with this project.
The emulator now supports Java and C++ in addition to C#.
C#, C++, and Java:
Intraday Tick Requests
Intraday Bar Requests
Reference Data Requests
Historical Data Requests
Market Data Subscriptions
Edit: Updated Project link, moved to github
The API's will provide full access to LIVE data, and developers can thus provide applications and develop against the API without paying licencing fees. Consumers will pay for any data received from the apps provided by third party developers, and so BB will grow their audience and revenue in that way.
NOTE: Bloomberg is offering this programming interface (BLPAPI) under a free-use license. This license does not include nor provide access to any Bloomberg data or content.
Source: http://www.openbloomberg.com/open-api/
This API has been available for a long time and enables to get access to market data (including live) if you are running a Bloomberg Terminal or have access to a Bloomberg Server, which is chargeable.
The only difference is that the API (not its code) has been open sourced, so it can now be used as a dependency in an open source project for example, without any copyrights issues, which was not the case before.
I don't think so. The API's will provide access to delayed quotes, there is no way that real time data or tick data, will be provided for free.
