So, here we begin to introduce our updated Point of View.
We’ll start with the understanding that the technology decision is key decision that needs to be made, at a project level. HP has not traditionally talked about development because we don’t have many solutions for development (exceptions: Defect management in Quality Center and DevInspect in the Application Security Center portfolio).
We acknowledge that technology is important, but HP focuses on the business level value where technology decisions aren’t as relevant. E.g. whether an application is built using Java or .NET is less important to the business than whether or not the application delivers the business value they need. In the mean time, developers will use the programming language, the IDE or the Source Code Manager (SCM) that fits their particular project or environment, without impacting the business outcome of the application.
So instead of focusing on development and the technology decision, HP focuses on the integration with the development environment to get the key information needed and provide visibility to stakeholders to enable better business decision-making.
That is HP’s key differentiator: the breadth of our ALM approach (from strategy, through development and into operations), our integration strategy with the development environment, and our focus on delivering business value and leveraging those strategic control points to manage the entry and exit through each phase of the application lifecycle to ensure success.

Short:
With Risk Based Test Management, stakeholders can assign business risk to requirements which helps test managers calculate where to apply testing resources. This allows you to develop a strategic plan and a business contract between QA and business managers so that limited time and resources can be focused on the highest-risk, highest-priority requirements.
Advanced test planning capabilities allow functional, regression, load, unit and integration testing–each with its own set of requirements, schedules and procedures. You can emulate real life business processes and run tests unattended, during off-peak times.
Detailed:
Risk Based Test Management – Highly competitive business environment today is forcing organizations to do more with less. While resources available to IT organizations are shrinking, applications are growing in number, size and complexity. The business risk associated with this scenario can now be managed through QC Risk Based test management. Stakeholders can assign business risk to the requirements that helps test managers calculate how much effort to spend on testing each requirement. This helps you develop strategic plan and develop business contract between QA and business managers. Tests can now be designed based upon requirements. QC can manage both automated and manual tests in same repository to help easy reusability of these assets. Advanced test planning capabilities allows various types of testing including functional, regression, load, unit and integration – each with its own set of requirements, schedules and procedure. You can run tests unattended and emulate real life business processes.

11. Manage multiple versions of tests
Versioning
Manage multiple versions of tests
Key benefits
Allows distributed teams to collaborate on joint development of tests without over-riding each other’s changes.
Feature: Version control is enabled for requirements, tests and test assets to enable distributed teams to collaborate and manage multiple versions of assets in parallel while maintaining data integrity and providing an audit history of changes throughout the project lifecycle. A component can be checked out for update, then checked back in when changes are complete. All projects utilizing that asset are automatically notified of the change and can choose to accept or reject the change as they manage their version of assets.
Benefit: Allows distributed teams to collaborate on joint development of tests without the risk of over-riding each other’s changes. They no longer have to worry about making multiple copies of the assets and can be automatically notified when an asset changes so they can stay in synch with the latest version, or choose to continue using the version that they have.
Key capabilities
Version control is enabled for requirements, tests and test assets.
A version of an asset can be checked out for update, then checked back in when changes are complete. 11

Prioritize defects based on impact to the business
Enhance communication and collaboration between testing and development teams
Key capabilities
Track defects from requirements through all stages of test management and execution
Alert key stakeholders through automated s
Enforce defect lifecycle process through custom fields and workflow
Share defects across projects and initiatives (QC Premier)
Defects give managers the visibility into the quality of the application under test. Using QC, you can manage defects through the entire lifecycle, from requirements through test execution. Analyze defects to make go/no go decisions about deployment. Because defects are tracked from initial problem detection through fixing and verification process, no defect Is overlooked or closed before it has been addressed.
In QC Premier, we’ve also enabled defect sharing across projects as well. When the initiative is being tested, and defects are discovered, they can now be shared back to the project where the developer works, without the developer having to be aware of the other projects, have logins to each project, and have to search each project for defects and then prioritize them across projects. Now the developer can access the defects in a central repository, fix the defect, and propagate that fix back to the projects that are impacted and where it can be retested
