0It belongs to the Rational Test Suite and it is an effective tool in Defects Management. CQ functions on a native access database and it maintains a common database of defects. With CQ the entire Defect Process can be customized. For e.g., a process can be designed in such a manner that a defect once raised needs to be definitely authorized and then fixed for it to attain the status of retesting. Such a systematic defect flow process can be established and the history for the same can be maintained. Graphs and reports can be customized and metrics can be derived out of the maintained defect repository.

Test Director (TD): TestDirector is an Automated Test Management Tool developed by Mercury Interactive for Test Management to help to organize and manage all phases of the software testing process, including planning, creating tests, executing tests, and tracking defects. TestDirector enables us to manage user access to a project by creating a list of Authorized users and assigning each user a password and a user group such that a perfect control can be exercised on the kinds of additions and modifications an user can make to the project. Apart from Manual Test Execution, the WinRunner automated test scripts of the project can also be executed directly from TestDirector. TestDirector activates WinRunner, runs the tests, and displays the results. Apart from the above, it is used for
•To report defects detected in the software.
•As a sophisticated system for tracking software defects.
•To monitor defects closely from initial detection until resolution.
•To analyze our Testing Process by means of various graphs and reports.
