test management with HP Quality Center
HP Quality Center is a powerful and highly configurable test management tool.
Many organisations make the mistake of simply installing the tool and deploying it immediately, allowing the users to find their own way around the system. This invariably leads to the Quality Center modules being under-used.
Each user tends to develop their own working methods, which results in unpredictable processes and workflows and an incoherent repository of test assets.
automation frameworks use best-practice methods to deploy and customise your HP Quality Center solution quickly and effectively so that your company can maximise the returns from the tool in the shortest time frame.

HP Quality Center installation
The installation process is preceded by a short planning activity that will identify the hardware and software licensing requirements that best suit the organisation's infrastructure and planned usage.
HP Quality Center customisation
The fundamental goal of HP Quality Center customisation is ensuring that the tool fully meets the requirements of the organisation and users.The first step, therefore, is to hold a workshop or a series of workshops with the relevant stakeholders to get a clear understanding of the following:
- the current software development processes within the organisation
- the existing systems in use for:
- recording and tracing requirements
- creating and storing test specifications and test cases
- ascertaining requirements coverage
- test execution and results reporting
- defect reporting and defect management
- configuration management of test assets
- test automation
- the groups of users and their specific activities
- the reporting requirements of management at all levels
- the workflow of a defect throughout its lifecycle
With all of this information, HP Quality Center can then be customised and optimised for easy adoption by the users, as they will have been involved in the design of the tool.
HP Quality Center training
Before leaving the organisation to work with their newly integrated and customised test management tool, automation frameworks will ensure that the users receive full training in the custom features of their system.
automation frameworks will provide bespoke documentation for the various users, targetted at the configuration changes and different activities they will perform.
As part of the training exercise, we will assist you in setting up a new or existing project in HP Quality Center so that you can see how the live system can start producing tangible results in a short timeframe.
automation frameworks has extensive experience in importing existing test assets from any format into HP Quality Center.
