Answer / diana

Answer #3 is wrong. In TestDirect there were always 4 tabs.
Requirements, TestPlan, TestLab, Defects.
TestDirector for Quality Center has same 4 tabs - that did
not change. Quality Center perfectly integrates with
Functional Testing that now includes QTP + WinRunner (this
integration was possible before with TestDirector as well).
As far as tabs... There is 1 additional tab that appeared
in Quality Center that was not there before and it's called
Dashboard (for project management). I did not see it since
the license need to be purchased separatly.

Answer / jayanthi

Quality Center is the latest version of Test Directory

Answer / ankita nath

Quality Center is Functional Suite provided by Mercury which
has the following:
1. Test Management Tool: Test Director
2. Fucntional Automation tool: Winrunner and QTP

In addition to the normal test director features, QC has a
dashboard for reporting metrics.

Business Process Testing is a new feature that has been
incorporated in QC 9.0. This would have additional charges
when purchasing the package.

Also, in the latest version of QC 9.2, Release Management is
also an important module.
