Plan tests,Run tests,Track defects

13.Who is having full privileges in TestDirector project?

TD Admin

12.What is test set?

A test set is a subset of tests in our database designed to achieve a specified testing objective

13.How the analyzing of test results will be accomplished in TestDirector?

Analyzing results will be accomplished by viewing run data and by generating TestDirector reports and graphs

14.What is Test set builder?

The test set builder enables us to create,edit,and delete test sets. Our test sets can include both manual and automated tests. We can include the same test in different test sets.

15.How the running of Manual test will be accomplished in TestDirector?

When running a manual test,we perform the actions detailed in the test steps and compare them to the expected results. The mini step window allows us to conveniently perform manual tests and record results with TestDirector minimized

16.How the running of Automated test will be accomplished in TestDirector?

We can execute automated tests on our own computer or on multiple remote hosts. The test execution window enables us to control test execution and manage hosts. We can execute a single test, or launch an entire batch of tests.

17.How to execute test plan in testdirector?

Write testcases in test plan(Description and expected results)

To execute them go to TEST LAB . Give coverage from test plan to test lab by selecting “select tests”.

Then click on RUN of RUN TEST SET to execute the test cases.

18.What is the use of Test Director software?

TestDirector is Mercury Interactive's software test management tool. It helps quality assurance personnel plan and organize the testing process. With TestDirector you can create database of manual and automated tests, build test cycles, run tests, and report and track defects.

19.How you integrated your automated scripts from TestDirector?

When you work with WinRunner , you can choose to save your tests directly to your TestDirector database or while creating a test case in the TestDirector we can specify whether the script in automated or manual.
