Test Director is a global test management solution which provides communication, organization,
documentation and structure to the testing project.
Test Director is used for
Test Director offers an organized framework for testing applications before they are deployed.
Since test plans evolve with new or modified application requirements, you need a central data
repository for organizing and managing the testing process. Test Director guides through the
requirements specification, test planning, test execution, and defect tracking phases of the testing
process The Test Director testing process includes four phases:
Specifying Requirements
Requirements are linked to tests and defects to provide complete traceability and aid the
decision-making process
See what percent of requirements are covered by tests
Each requirement in the tree is described in detail, and can include any relevant
attachments. The QA tester assigns the requirement a priority level which is taken into
consideration when the test team creates the test plan
The Test Plan Manager enables to divide application according to functionality. Application can
be divided into units, or subjects, by creating a test plan tree.
As the tests are also linked to defects, this helps ensure compliance with testing requirements
throughout the testing process
Running Tests
As the application constantly changes, using test lab, run manual and automated tests in the
project in order to locate defects and assess quality.
By creating test sets and choosing which tests to include in each set, test suite can be
created. A test set is a group of tests in a Test Director project database designed to achieve
specific testing goals.
Tests can be run manually or scheduled to run automatically based on application dependencies.
Tracking Defects
Locating and repairing application defects efficiently is essential to the testing process. Defects
can be detected and added during all stages of the testing process. In this phase you perform the
following tasks:
This tool features a sophisticated mechanism for tracking software defects, enabling Testing
Team and the project Team to monitor defects closely from initial detection until
resolution
By linking Test Director to e-mail system, defect tracking information can be shared by
all Development and Management Teams, Testing and Wipro Software Quality
