Overview of HP Quality Center Agile Accelerator
In today’s digitally-powered businesses, applications are critical to business process and ultimately, every business outcome. As a result, organizations cannot afford to deliver poor-quality applications.
To prevent this, quality assurance (QA) teams need modern, fully-integrated platforms that automate the delivery of quality applications.
HP Quality Center offers a single, scalable, Web-based application that supports all aspects of application quality test management and delivery. It enables a consistent, repeatable process for:
* Requirements management
* Test planning, scheduling & execution
* Release & cycle management
* Defect management
HP Quality Center offers real-time reporting of QA progress and status and enables improved communication and collaboration among IT teams. In addition, it allows your QA teams to automate quality processes within the larger application lifecycle.
HP Quality Center is available in two versions:
* HP Quality Center Starter Edition is for entry-level QA organizations that are testing applications for the first time.
* HP Quality Center Enterprise Edition is for experienced QA organizations, though not yet complex QA initiatives.
The HP Quality Center Agile Accelerator is designed to help you manage Agile development using HP Quality Center. It can be imported into Quality Center 10.0 or Quality Center/ALM 11.0 as a base project to manage both development and testing efforts within the same HP Quality Center Project.
It comes with pre-built Agile user roles and related privileges, pre-defined Agile process workflows, configurations and rules to help you manage projects driven by Agile methodology.
It also facilitates Agile reporting allowing you to track progress burn-down, burn-up and velocity.
