Overview
Your organization needs the right software testing tools to deploy high-quality applications quickly and effectively.
HP Quality Center offers a single, web-based application that supports all essential aspects of test management.
It provides a consistent, repeatable process for gathering requirements, planning and scheduling tests, analyzing
results and managing defects and issues. This software enables your organization to digitize specific quality
processes and procedures within the larger application lifecycle. It also supports high levels of communication
and collaboration among your IT team.
The HP Quality Center Agile Accelerator can be imported into Quality Center as a base project to manage both
development and testing efforts within the same Quality Center project. It comes with pre-defined Agile process
workflows, configurations and rules to help you manage projects driven by Agile methodology, pre-built Agile user
roles and related privileges which are easy to configure, and supports Agile reports and graphs to track progress,
burn-down, burn-up and velocity.
HP Quality Center is available in three editions:
HP Quality Center Starter: Addresses the needs of entry-level QA organizations getting
started with testing.
HP Quality Center Enterprise (formerly HP TestDirector for Quality Center software):
Suitable for mainstream QA organizations that may not have expanded globally and may not yet be managing large,
complex QA initiatives.
HP Application Lifecycle Management: Addresses the needs of large, global enterprises with QA
initiatives that span up to hundreds of applications and geographically distributed teams.
