Gain control of the chaotic software testing process

Software quality is essential in enterprise applications that drive business success. The issue with software quality is that it means different things to different people; is it performance, scalability, reliability, functionality, accuracy, usability? It is actually the right mix of all of these, aligned with specific project requirements. Software test management must harness the complexity and volume of tasks that organizations face when testing all these quality attributes. Managing manual software testing, automated regression testing and performance testing are all basic requirements in the software testing lifecycle. Complexity is compounded today as teams are often geographically distributed often using different testing tools, development processes and technology platforms.

Borland's approach to software test management delivers control and visibility of the entire software application testing process. From the planning stages where business requirements are linked directly to test requirements, through test and fix cycles, all the way to the final Go/No-Go decision support, Borland's test management offering provides the means to manage the software testing process for your organization, small or large, centralized or distributed, with our scalable, open software test management framework. Whether you are exploring adopting more test automation, or if you are simply trying to improve the efficiency of your manual software testing, Borland can help you harness the chaos of software test management with our powerful solution.

Borland's next generation software test management system answers the following key questions:

• What is the requirements test coverage for an application?
• Have all high-priority requirements been met?
• What are the optimal schedule, priorities and resource allocation for each test?
• What progress is being made against the testing strategy?
• What are the test results for a specific build?
• Where are the defects?
• What are the necessary steps to resolve them?
• What is the status of each defect?
• Is an open issue holding up the release?
• Is the application ready for deployment?
• Are certain features likely to compromise the quality of the overall release?
• What are the quality trends for an application?
