The Ap. Test Manager Solution z. Consistent, repeatable process z. Permanent information store z. Real time access to tests, results, status y. Geographically distributed users y. QA, customers, development, . . . z. Test method and tool neutral

Ap. Test Manager Benefits z. Higher product quality y. Better tests, better coverage, better process y. Find and fix bugs sooner in the development cycle z. Shorter projects at a lower cost z. Improved, measurable productivity

Manage Manual/Automated testing Requirements Test Cases Manual Testing Automated Testing Test Results Reporting

Requirements Repository z. User defined tree of Folders As deep and wide as you want z. Folders contain Requirements and Files z. Requirements fields totally configurable. As many fields as you want: menu fields, text fields, date fields, tables, etc. z. Requirement names can be strings or automatically assigned numbers

Test Repository z. User defined tree of Folders As deep and wide as you want z. Folders contain Test Cases and Files z. Test Case fields totally configurable. As many fields as you want: menu fields, text fields, date fields, tables, etc. z. Test Case names can be strings or automatically assigned numbers

Link Requirements and Tests z. Tests can be linked to Requirements in any relationship One-to-one, many-to-one, and one-tomany z. Tests can be automatically created and linked to Requirements

Execution z. Unlimited number of different groups of tests (Test Sets) y. Created by querying test characteristics: e. g. the tests for a particular version or feature. z. Each Test Set can be run as many times as you want, results stored separately for different test environments (Test Sessions)

Typical Project Reqs Tests Sets Sessions test subsets execution results . . .

Customization z. Easily customized y. What fields make up a Test Case x. Name, Format, Default Value y. How a Test Case is displayed x. Editing, Executing, Reporting y. Session Variables x. Characterize test environment H/W-S/W z Design your own ‘gold standard’ configuration

Reports z On part or all of a project composed of different Sets and Sessions y. Status: %done, results, vs. schedule y. Coverage of test cases y. Productivity of users z Compare Sessions z On specific sessions z Custom queries can be defined and saved

Requirements Repository z. Tree of Reqs y. Create y. Edit y. Copy y. Rename y. Delete y. View

Repository Reports z. Test Requirements Reports z. Test Specification Reports

Test Execution z. Run specific groups of Tests (Test Sets) z. Run them in specific Test Environments (Test Sessions)

Test Execution z. Any number of Test Sets (subset of Test Cases for different test cycles, product versions, etc. ) z. Any number of Test Sessions, each recording the execution of a Test Set (in a different H/W-S/W environment). z. Test Cases only need be defined once, so easily maintained and evolved

Test Set z. Group of Test Cases based on an ad hoc query of Test Case field values

Test Sets z. Queries select different groups of tests

Test Session z. Results of running Test Cases for a Test Set z. Session Variables specify test environment

Test Sessions z. Session Variables tag the session with info on where and how it was run. e. g. O. S. , browser, hardware, product version, tester, . . . z. You can search for and report on Sessions based on a variety of criteria, including session variables, e. g. compare the results of all the Sessions run on Windows XP with Oracle.

Test Execution z. Tester is given y. Requirements y. Procedure z. Tester enters y. Test result y. Time spent (optional) y. Notes

Reports z. Are generated for one or more sessions z. Sessions can be selected with ad hoc queries

Status Report z. Multiple sessions z% Complete z. Time remaining z. Trends z. Result Details z. Links to per session reports

Users Report z. Results z. Productivity z. Schedule analysis

Results Report z. Test Case details and results

Regression Report z. Multiple Sessions z. Compares Results

Coverage Report z. Coverage of Test Cases by Sessions z. Can create Test Sets of uncovered Test Cases
