Mercury TestDirector™ allows you to deploy high-quality
applications quickly and effectively by providing a
consistent, repeatable process for gathering requirements,
planning and scheduling tests, analysing results, and
managing defects and issues.



TestDirector is a single, Web-based application for all
essential aspects of test management — Requirements
Management, Test Plan, Test Lab, and Defects Management. You
can leverage these core modules either as a standalone
solution or integrated within a global Quality Centre of
Excellence environment.




TestDirector supports high levels of communication and
collaboration among IT teams. Whether you are coordinating
the work of many disparate QA teams, or working with a
large, distributed Centre of Excellence, this test
management tool helps facilitate information access across
geographical and organization boundaries.




Using TestDirector, multiple groups throughout your
organisation can contribute to the quality process:



* Business analysts define application requirements and
testing objectives

* Test managers and project leads design test plans and
develop test cases

* Test automation engineers create automated scripts and
store them in the repository

* QA testers run manual and automated tests, report
execution results, and enter defects

* Developers review and fix defects logged into the database

* Project managers create application status reports and
manage resource allocation

* Product managers decide whether an application is
ready to be released.

I installed TestDirector 7.6 on my PC which has windows media center edition. It was working fine in the begining. But now when I try to start it, I get the message, "cannot connect to databas. The data base version is older than 7.5, please update database". I am using MS Access as the database. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All, Im currently getting to grips with the Document Generator in Test Director and have a query. We use TD to link requirements to test cases and I am attempting to produce a report which lists the requirement and the test case it is linked to. I cant see a way to do this as the test case link info resides on the Coverage page and it appears the only field available to display for requirements reports within document generator as those on the 'details' tab. Any tips?
