Track and measure project milestones and KPIs

Project Planning & Tracking

– Visibility into application project progress and status

– Team visibility into key project milestones

– Proactive adjustment of plans when project is not on track

– Identifying poor quality before it impacts on schedule

– Updating project status against project plan

The 4 Principles of Requirements Mgmt

requirements and having a "single version of the truth"Capturing

on requirements to make sure the right thing is being captured Collaborating

requirements to other development assets - tests, defects, code...Linking

requirements so that everyone works in a common wayStandardizing



Business Process Model (BPM) Integration

– Misalignment between business processes and business requirements

– Clear understanding of the exact business process and critical paths

– End to End coverage by development and QA is hard




Business Process Model (BPM) Integration Import

Business Process Models

View critical paths for

development and testing

Link Requirements

to Model



Business Process Model (BPM) Integration

– Automatically generate requirements hierarchy• Mapping requirements directly to BPM

– Supports standard BPMN format• i.e. Provision, Aris

– BPM available to a wider audience• Developers, QA

– Clear end to end business process communication• Better testing; understand what can be

componentized

– Improvement in requirements coverage

Other Capabilities

Key Benefits


New Rich Text Editor & Requirements TemplatesRequirements Management

– “Requirements Management tools are hard to use”• Easy to default to using MS Word, that results in…….

– No ‘single point of truth’ for requirements

– Capturing requirements and getting the right data- Lack of standardization

- Requirement details missed

- Inconsistent requirements (High amounts of Overwork & underwork)




New Rich Text Editor

Entire content is searchable

BAs can work in QC like they work in MS

Word



Requirements Templates

Template per

requirement type

Define rich text template

- Familiar interface

Specify exact requirement

structure



Traceability Matrix

– Verify that all requirements are met

– Identify changes to the scope when they occur

entities

Test ConfigurationsHP Application Lifecycle Management 11.00



Test Management

Test Configurations

…..or Sometimes all configurations are in one requirement

Results in:

– High test script maintenance costs

– Lower requirement coverage accuracy

The Past Situation

Requirement/Use Case A:

Gold MemberRequirement/Use Case

B:Silver Member

Requirement/Use Case C:

Blue Member

Test Script 1:Login as Gold

MemberTest Script 2:

Login as Silver Member

Test Script 3:Login as Blue

Member

A test script for each

configuration was

needed

– When a requirement has multiple configurations or use cases:


Test Management

Test Configurations

– Significantly lower test script maintenance costs

– Increased requirement scenario accuracy• Test all use cases

– Share and leverage data sources and definitions

With Test Configurations

Requirement/Use Case A:

Only 1 test script needed

for all configuration

HP Sprinter – Manual TestingHP Application Lifecycle Management 11.00



Manual testing has not changed in 15 – 20 years – It’s challenging

Manual Testing Today

Defect RemediationExecuting Tests

Development TeamQA TeamSignificant time spent

executing tests

Following and executing test steps is challenging

Repetitive test steps waste execution time

Test multiple environments is time consuming

Entering data is a chore and can be error prone

Bug descriptions are rarely complete

Information needed to recreate the bug is often missing

Significant time spent trying to recreate and figure out defects

No history of user actions when exploratory testing


HP Sprinter

Connects directly to HP Quality Center

Connects directly to HP Quality

Center

Open test cases from HP Quality

Center

Save results directly into HP Quality

Center

Included with HP Quality

Center 11.0 and HP ALM 11.0


Test Execution

Tabs around application under test

Test steps for

execution

Easy to use, unobtrusive and

maximizes application under test real estate


Screen Annotation and Tools

Clearly communicate defects to developers

using visual tools

Annotation Tools

Annotate directly on the

screen

Check application elements

- color, position


Log defects in QCEasily give

developer the most possible information

Simply create a defect

Create defect without entering

QC


Data Injection

Automatically insert data into the application

Save significant time on most tedious manual testing

activity


HP Sprinter

Exploratory Testing

Log user all actions

performed during test

Create formal test script from exploratory test

Communicate user actions

taken clearly to development Increase value of

exploratory testing and improve

communication of results
