Running Automated Tests
You
can execute automated tests on your own computer (locally), or on
multiple remote hosts. The Test Execution window enables you to control
test execution and manage hosts. You can execute a single test, or
launch an entire batch of tests.
•Track Defects
When
testing an application, your goal is to locate and repair any defects
before the software is deployed. TestDirector enables you to report new
defects and track their progress. Defects can be detected and reported
by software developers, testers, and
end users during all stages of the testing process.
When a defect is detected in the software:
Send a defect report to the TestDirector database.
A
quality assurance or project manager reviews the defect, determines a
repair priority, and assigns it to a development team to repair the
open defect.
Test a new build of the application to make sure
that the defect is corrected. If the defect does not reoccur, the
quality assurance or project manager updates the defect status.
Generate reports and graphs to determine the current quality level of
the application and to track the process of repairs.
