Overview

• The past few years have brought in a major breakthrough in the field of testing. While the pressures to deliver quality applications continue to increase, challenges like shrinking development and deployment schedules, geographically distributed organizations, outsourcing, and high turnover rates for skilled employees make application testing the ultimate challenge, faced with the reality of having to do more with less, manage multiple projects, and organize diverse and distributed project teams.
• PPM Studio Test Management solution gives control & visibility to your project by calculating where the time is spent and helps to centralize, organize, prioritize, and document testing efforts and helps you to maximizes resource utilization and supports on-time deployment.

Features	Description
Test Plan	Test Plan creation aligned to Project and Release Plan. Testing Requirements definition from Release Scope. Test Strategy formulation comprises of defining test cycles, testing approaches to be used among various cycles. QA Resource Planning.
Test Case Design	Structured Test Case Definition with important parameters like: Preconditions, test case steps, pass fail criteria, priority etc. Test Case automation by attaching QTP script to the test case.
Test Run (Test Scheduling and Execution)	Scheduling of test cases for execution on the basis of the readiness of the software build. Capturing test results while execution. Defect logging in case of test case failure.
Defect Logging and Tracking	Defect logging with important attributes like: Severity, Priority, Impacted component, Associated risk, Test Environment etc. Defects identification, logging and categorization across the SDLC: Requirements Defects, Design Defects, Code Defects etc. Defect lifecycle definition to ensure track to closure.
Test Results, Reports and Metrics	Overall quality management and monitoring with the help of graphical metrics:   Test Success Ratio: Graphical report to show % of test cases passed-failed in different test cycles.   Week wise Defect Find vs. Fix Rate.   Week wise defects introduced and re-opened.   Phase wise defect removal efficiency calculated on the basis of defects captured during multiple SDLC phases.   Review and Testing Effectiveness Cost of Quality: The effort spent on developing the application vs. effort spent on project planning, reviews and rework.
End-to-End Traceability	End-to-End traceability with all engineering objects:   Business Requirements.   PCR Specifications   System Components   Test Cases   Code objects   Defects
