MKS for HP Quality Center

Improve Software Quality and Enhance Development and Quality Assurance (QA) Team Efficiency

MKS supports integrations with market leading, complementary development lifecycle tools, including leading software testing technologies. Our deep integrations result in a well managed cohesive development environment that is highly functional and user friendly.

"Quality Assurance is a crucial component of any IT project and is the responsibility of everyone involved - not just the QA Engineer, which makes it imperative for companies to ensure close, consistent collaboration between development, QA, and the business."
- Mark Sarbiewski, Senior Director, Solution Marketing, Software, Hewlett-Packard Company

Benefits of MKS and HP Quality Center (formerly Mercury Quality Center) integration for improved software testing:

Support IT governance by directly linking software change to defects
Improve communication between QA and Development with continuous process
Delivers complete traceability, closing hte loop between defects found in QA and fixed in development
Reduces project risk, providing assurance that QA is testing against the most current set of requirements

Connect Development and QA Teams with Integrated Process and Workflow Management:
HP Quality Center is integrated with the process and workflow capabilities of MKS Integrity to build a continuous and two-way process flow between Application Development and Quality Assurance teams.

Requirements authored in MKS Integrity can be synchronized into the Requirements Module of HP Quality Center, ensuring that testing requirements are directly related to the requirements being authored by the business analysts.

After testing is completed, defects identified with HP Quality Center are automatically cycled back into the development process via MKS Integrity, and travel with associated development artifacts such as source code or documentation. The integration enables organizations to establish an enforceable and auditable process for defect resolution, improving software quality, enhancing development and QA team efficiency, and supporting IT governance initiatives.
