EFFECTA™ FOR MERCURY™ TESTDIRECTOR®

Test management tools are breaking down the islands of QA automation much like previous integration technologies have done for applications. As software quality becomes more important, so does the need to deploy an infrastructure for coordinating and managing the quality process. The key to success is enabling bi-directional information and command/control between the test management hub and the various tools from multiple vendors that make up the firms QA and testing infrastructure.

Certified by Mercury Effecta makes it easy for TestDirector customers to integrate third-party quality assurance tools into the TestDirector-managed environment. This Arsin-developed product includes pre-wired Segue SilkTest and JUnit integration components, as well as additional software components and guidelines for integrating other tools.
