VMware Lab Manager Add-in For HP Quality Center

The VMware Lab Manager Add-in for HP Quality Center provides an automation bridge between testing and deployment of test environments. QA staff now have the power to seamlessly invoke operations in VMware Lab Manager as part of a Test Set within HP Quality Center or from QuickTest Professional. Test Sets can now deploy variations of applications under test in a virtualized environment and direct other testing tools such as QuickTest Professional and WinRunner to run against them. When defects are encountered, the Add-in facilitates the creation of LiveLinks to capture the running state of the application when it failed. When the tests are finished running, the Add-in can undeploy the virtualized environment to save memory and processing resources.
