Software Test Management

  • Is the handoff from development to quality assurance problematic?
  • Need visibility into the testing process?
  • Are requirements and tests well-connected?

Coordinate development and test processes
Testing software can be a tremendous challenge. Effective software testing requires the coordination of different groups (such as development and quality assurance), as well as different systems. The many points of coordination make it incredibly simple for things to fall through the cracks.

Serena makes it simple to keep your development and testing processes working like a well-oiled machine. Instead of treating testing as an island, Serena solutions incorporate test management processes in other systems (such as HP Quality center) into an application lifecycle process, cutting cost, reducing manual work, and increasing traceability.

Which solution is right for you?

Test Management as part of a single-repository ALM solution

Serena Dimensions CM, the leading single-repository ALM solution, provides bi-directional integration with HP (Mercury) Quality Center. Dimensions CM manages the entire ALM process, including automated hand-off between development and testing processes. Additionally, Dimensions CM can manage test cases along side other development artifacts, providing end-to-end traceability: from requirements through testing into production release.

Test Management across disparate repositories

If you are using a source-code repository such as Subversion, ClearCase, or Perforce, and want to unify your development and testing processes, Serena Development Process Management applications are the perfect choice. Development Process Management makes it simple to connect development processes (such as issue, incident, or change processes) with other applications such as HP (Mercury) Quality Center.

With Serena test management solutions you can:

Treat testing as part of a coordinated ALM process

With Serena your test management process can be easily integrated with a full lifecycle management process. Instead of manual notifications, Serena provides automated, bi-directional coordination between your ALM process and your test process. This decreases manual work, reduces the risk of error, and provides development and testing teams insight into key artifacts.

Gain traceability from requirements, through testing, into production

With Serena you have a single trail from requirements to production. Testing teams can see requirements, associated code changes, and which packages include the changes--making it much simpler to perform testing against business requirements.

Manage test cases and scripts along side other artifacts

Serena can manage your test cases and scripts along side other artifacts such as requirements, change requests, and code.
