QA Complete, the award winning test lifecycle management tool with over 70,000 active users, is designed to give teams the ability to complete the testing process faster and with more versatility than any other testing program available. With QA Complete, teams experience efficient software testing automation without losing quality. The program manages all aspects of the software test process, including test cases, defects, test tasks, project planning and beta testing, in one single application.

The features in QA Complete help teams with every aspect of the testing process. With the software testing automation services available with QA Complete, teams can:

• Manage external UAT or Beta test efforts with Defect and Contact Features

Not only does QA Complete manage the actual tests, it also offers a complete set of collaborative tools that were designed to increase team communication and make the testing process run smoothly. The collaborative features of QA Complete include those tools that are most important during the testing process, including document sharing, team calendars, interactive dashboards, knowledge bases and threaded discussions. When the entire team is able to communicate bugs, defects and test results easily, tests can run faster, allowing you to keep your projects running smoothly and efficiently.

QA Complete also gives teams access to the metrics that they need the most. In any software testing automation process, it’s crucial to know important data points about when the software will ship, how the testing effort is trending, and who may be causing project slippage when tasks begin to slip. This data allows teams to improve the efficiency of their test processes, obtain higher quality results and ship software faster and more often. The complete analysis tools in QA Complete give users access to these metrics using detailed screens, dashboards and reports.

QA Complete can be utilized for your software testing automation needs in two different versions: Standard and Universal. The Standard version is designed for those who need only the basic components for efficient testing, including requirements management, test case management, defect and issue management, custom dashboards and integration features for Crystal Reports and Fusion Charts. The Universal edition includes these features and also gives users access to project management tools, support ticket management, discussion forums, shared documents, knowledge bases, calendar management and powerful contact management (CRM) functionality.

Each version of QA Complete, the ultimate software testing automation program, is available in two licensing models: Software-as-a Service (Saas) or Enterprise. The Saas model is designed for small to mid-size businesses that require unlimited support, users and projects. This model features a 99.9% uptime guarantee, so your projects will never be left hanging due to problems with your testing software. The Enterprise edition, which is hosted at your location, gives teams access to a control panel with the ability to integrate your own Crystal Reports within the application. Additional features include a Synchronization Agent, for synchronizing data with other software within your organization, seamless Active Directory integration and a well-documented API.
