Do you need to manage testing as part of your Agile development projects?

In Agile software development, quality becomes more important than ever. Testing is integrated into the development process and takes place in each iteration as work is completed.

Rally Quality Manager improves quality by ensuring consistent testing throughout the life of your projects. This optional module helps you organize, schedule and run acceptance, regression, functional, system tests and more. Rally Quality Manager also makes it easy to manage and track recurring regression test results.

With Rally’s Quality Manager module, you can:

• Organize test cases by functional folders to quickly locate test cases
• Schedule regression test runs within iterations and releases
• Execute scheduled manual regression tests
• Track separate executions of a single test case across multiple systems and platforms to simplify platform/configuration testing
• Share test cases across multiple projects and teams
• Design ad-hoc reports of test case results

Organize Test Cases by functional areas

A flat list of Test Cases can quickly become unmanageable. With Rally Quality Manager, you can organize Test Cases by functional area and quickly assemble test plans. In the Test Plan view, you can organize your Test Cases in a hierarchy of folders to easily find and manage them when planning your work. You can also pull in the results from an automated testing system to gain an instant high-level view of test coverage.

View status of automated test runs through color-coded role-up reports

When running daily automated tests, you need to know at a glance which Test Cases pass, fail, are indeterminate or did not run. Rally Quality Manager clearly indicates status in a color-coded, roll-up report.

Manage regression testing with Test Sets

Test Sets streamline regression testing by allowing you to run a collection of Test Cases together in a single instance. You can create Test Sets for each platform or configuration and share a single Test Case across multiple Test Sets. You can continually add new Test Cases to your test sets to ensure full regression testing. You can use Rally's project scoping control to view the status of your Test Sets across multiple projects.
