Automated Software Quality (ASQ)
Q: What is the use of Test Director software?
TestDirectoris Mercury Interactive's software test management tool. It helpsquality assurance personnel plan and organize the testing process. WithTestDirector you can create a database of manual and automated tests,build test cycles.
TestDirector is not used for executing any actualtest activity but it is a test management tool used for RequirementsManagement, Test Plan, Test Lab, and Defects Management. Even if theindividual test cases are not automated, TestDirector can make lifemuch easier during the test cycles.
Q: How you integrated your automated scripts with TestDirector?
Whenyou work with WinRunner, you can choose to save your tests directly toyour TestDirector database or while creating a test case in theTestDirector we can specify whether the script in automated or manual.And if it is automated script then
Q: Is there any possibility to restrict duplication of defects being created in TD?
No Way. The only thing we can do is to find the similar defects and delete or close them.
Q: What is Quality Center( Test Director)?
Youcan use Quality Center to create a project (central repository) ofmanual and automated tests and components, build test cycles, run testsand components, and report and track defects. You can also createreports and graphs to help you review the progress of test planning,runs, and defect tracking before a software release. When you work inQuickTest, you can create and save tests and components directly toyour Quality Center project. You can run QuickTest tests or componentsfrom Quality Center and then use Quality Center to review and managethe results. You can also use Quality Center with Business ProcessTesting support to create business process tests, comprised of thecomponents you create in either QuickTest or Quality Center withBusiness Process Testing support.

Q: How to use TestDirect like a Dashboard?
Thenew version of TD (TestDirector for Quality Center) should provide youwith that. If you not want to upgrade, you have to design your own'start page', include the apps and bits you want to display, and usecode to extract data from TD.
Q: Can you retrieve a test case once you have deleted them in Test Director?
InQuality Center, if you delete entire folder with tests, the tests getstored in Unattached folder. But if you just deleted 'individual'tests, they are GONE! and can't be retrieved. Not sure if Test Directorhas the same behaviour/functionality.
There are 2 options in QC. oneis remove and another is delete. the diffrence is that .once it isremove it is removed from test set but avail in QC directory. If it isdeleted, you can't retrive. If you press delete that will delete fromthat QC directory also.

Yes.
Create your req. structure.
Create the test case structure and the test cases
Map the testcases to the apr. req.
Run and report bugs from your test cases in the test lab module.
Thedatabase structure in TD is mapping testcase to defects, only if youhave created the bug from the apr. test case.
