Rally Quality Manager Overview

Rally helps you generate test cases from work items to pull testing forward and ensure traceability. Rally makes test development and maintenance easy. It jump starts your automation efforts with the ability to manage all types of tests: acceptance, regression, functional, system, etc. Rich media composers evolve tests throughout the iteration to increase their precision and scenario coverage. And because test results are automatically associated with requirements, organizations improve their quality and predictability, cut their defect tracking burdens and know when a feature is ready to deliver. The result is more consistent testing with improved software quality and faster delivery.
The Acceptance testing features included with all Rally implementations allow you to:

• Create test cases directly from user stories.
• Evolve acceptance tests simultaneously with - or ahead of - the coding efforts.
• View status dashboards that automatically group test case results by user stories to assess quality and readiness.
• Provide access to failing test cases for improved communication, easier defect re-creation and lower management burdens.

The Optional Quality Manager product enables you to:

• Manage regression tests that need to be run multiple times throughout the life of your system.
• Create custom test plan lists based on criteria you specify.
• Easily filter and sort tests outside of iterations and releases.
