Quality Center is the test management platform encompassing:

Requirements Management allows you to track multiple requirements types and


analyze requirements change impact, and provides full traceability from
requirements to requirements, tests and defects

Risk-Based test management enables risk mitigation by enabling you to assess


risk from both a business and technical perspective, optimize test coverage and
auto-calculate the testing effort in order to product a contract between the
business/quality teams such that that the highest-priority, highest-risk
requirements are planned for testing.

Release and cycle management to manage requirements and tests according to


application releases and QA cycles. Allows you to compare planned vs. actual
progress for each application release and QA cycle and assess release quality
across multiple QA cycles

Defect management allows you to track defects from requirements through all
stages of test management and execution

As an addon, we also offer QA lab management (Surgient) to allow you to select


an environment library directly from QC Test Lab, qutomate provisioning of test
environments on-demand and enable self-service deployment and secure
worldwide access to complex test environments

Functional testing products for both manual and automated testing:


Quick Test Professional enables you to easily create, execute and maintain
regression runs on ever-changing applications. It provides keyword IDE for non-
programmers, Data table for data-driven tests and process guidance with built-
in best practices and ability to customize processes.

Business Process Testing (and BPT4SAP) provides a framework for building


reusable, data-driven test components and supports manual, keyword-driven
and scripted components with a web-based repository for sharing tests and
components. It also provides extended capabilities for creating and updating
tests for SAP applications.

SAP-specific testing products:

BPT4SAP (see BPT)

Change Impact Testing (CIT) used to identify the impact of SAP changes and
Reduce the time, cost and risk of making changes to production systems

Security Testing

QAInspect tightly integrated with Quality Center to manage security testing


within existing QM methodology and enable correction of security defects early
in application lifecycle

SOA Testing products

Service Test is used to expose headless services through contract inspection


and provide support for testing from unit level through complex business
processes

Service Test Management allows you to maintain a service oriented quality


management strategy & conduct Change Impact Testing on SOA assets

Dashboard – to enable business decisions based upon holistic view across all
quality initiatives

Center Management for Quality Center

A PPM product with integration to Quality Center to manage the quality process
from PPM to enforce and automate QA processes and workflows, plan and track
QA project and manage resources efficiently, and reduce the cost of CoE
Administration

Quality Center is an industry leading, global platform that lets you manage
quality with a consistent, repeatable process and minimize risk through the
entire application lifecycle. It drives high levels of communication and
collaboration across distributed teams using a single platform, and helps
manage application quality from requirements through test execution and
defect resolution.

Because QC is web-enabled, teams can access real-time project information


regardless of geographic and organizational boundaries. This unprecedented
visibility helps lower costs by identifying defects earlier in the process, drives
collaboration across the business, and contributes to vastly improved decision
making, significantly reducing the risk of failure.

Key benefits

Facilitates global collaboration and communication between teams on a single


platform
Enables management of the release process and more informed go/no go
decisions
Enable lower costs by capturing critical defects before they reach production
Enables enforcement of standardized workflows and customizations across
projects
Allows asset sharing and reuse across projects and initiatives

Key capabilities

Enables a consistent, repeatable process for:


Requirements management
Test planning and scheduling
Managing testing cycles
Defect tracking
Version control and baselining
Real time reporting of progress and status

Quality Center is a web based test management tool, It is based on client
server technology and has 8 modules.

[M, R, B, TP, TR, TL, D, D]

Management > Requirements > Business Component > Test Plan > Test
Resources > Test Lab > Defects > Dashboard.

Management module includes the following two sub modules:

a) Release – Enable you to define releases and cycles for the application
management process.

b) Libraries – Enable you to define libraries to track changes in your


project, reuse entities in a project, or share entities across the multiple
projects.

1) Requirement module – Enables you to manage requirements in a


hierarchical tree-structure, Requirements can be linked to other
requirements, tests, or defects.

2) Business Components module – enables subject matter experts to drive


the quality optimization process.

3) Test Plan module – enables you to develop and manage tests in a


hierarchical tree-structure. Tests can be linked to requirements and defects.

4) Test Resources module – enables you to manage test resources in a


hierarchical tree-structure. Test resources can be associated with tests.

5) Test Lab Module – enables you to run tests on your application and
analyze the results.
6) Defects module – enables you to add defects, determine repair priorities,
repair open defects, and analyze the data.

7) Dashboard module – enables you to create graphs, reports and excel


reports. You can also create pages, which enable you to view multiple graphs
side by side.

A baseline is a snapshot of your library at a specific point in time. You can use a
baseline to mark any
Significant milestone in the application development life cycle. A baseline includes
all the entities defined in the library, including requirements, tests, and test
resources. Baselines also include the relationships between the entities in the
library, such as traceability and coverage. Baselines enable you to keep track of
changes made to your project over time.
