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 / 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.

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?
