Product Information
HP Quality Center software is an industry-leading, global quality management software solution. It lets you manage the quality process for delivering high-quality applications efficiently and effectively.
HP Quality Center software (formerly HP TestDirector for Quality Center software) drives a more effective and efficient global application testing process and supports high levels of communication and collaboration among geographically distributed testing teams. HP Quality Center has several modules - requirements management, release and cycle management, test plan, test lab, defects management, and dashboard reporting - that are seamlessly integrated to allow for the smooth flow of information across testing stages.
HP Quality Center brings structure to your testing projects and stores information in a central repository. Because HP Quality Center is web-based, all members can access critical project information - regardless of geographic and organizational boundaries.
- Align testing priorities based on risk
HP Quality Center provides risk-based quality management to objectively assess and prioritize the highest risk, highest priority requirements so you can optimize your testing effort based on business risk. - Define test plans
Based on the requirements, your testers can build test plans and design tests using HP Quality Center, or import them from Microsoft Word or Excel. HP Quality Center provides a repository for both manual and automated tests, and the ability to leverage HP Business Process Testing software for collaborative test design. - Monitor quality across releases and cycles
The release management module helps you manage application releases and cycles more efficiently. You can track the progress of an application release against your plan to determine if your release is on track. - Schedule and run tests
Your testing team can use the test lab module to run scheduled tests unattended, overnight, or when the system is in least demand. HP Quality Center supports functional, regression, load, unit, and integration testing - each with its own set of requirements, schedules, and procedures. Defining dependencies among tests lets you realistically emulate real-life business processes and easily maintain and reuse tests. - Track defects
Analyzing defects and defect trends helps you make effective "go/no-go" decisions. The defect management module supports the entire defect lifecycle - from initial problem detection through resolution and verification. Before any defect is submitted, HP Quality Center checks the database for similar defects, reducing duplication and removing the need for manual checking. - Report and graph your quality process
HP Quality Center has an integrated dashboard module to centralize quality reporting and enable real-time decisions based on application status. HP Quality Center can also export a report into Microsoft Excel, allowing your end users to perform endless data manipulation.
