LAFAYETTE, Calif., Oct 20, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- TechExcel, Inc., the leading provider of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and IT Service Management (ITSM) software solutions, today announced it has partnered with AutomatedQA to provide a studio of products which function as a best-of-breed quality management solution, competing with the likes of HP's Quality Center, yet at a lower price point. With the out-of-box integration of AutomatedQA's TestComplete, DevTest Studio provides an alternative to HP's Quality Center as a high-end quality management solution that is more cost effective and much easier to deploy.

DevTest Studio combines the award winning test management functions of DevTest, the industry standard defect and issue tracking features of DevTrack and a Test Link API for full automation and integration with AutomatedQA's TestComplete automated test manager. "With the addition of TestComplete to TechExcel's DevTest Studio, organizations are able to manage the development process in the development method of their choice and efficiently leverage test management to bolster the success of their quality control initiatives," says Derek Langone, C.E.O of AutomatedQA.

DevTest Studio allows users to add automated tests from TestComplete to the DevTest library, schedule manual and automated tests, as well as track automation results with real-time dashboards and customizable reports. Best of all, DevTest Studio helps facilitate teamwork and ensures product quality through a definable and enforceable workflow. The integration even allows automated tests from TestComplete to be launched directly from the DevTest interface. "With the ability to define quality standards with DevTest test case templates, plan test coverage with a definable matrix, submit and manage defects within the testing interface, and administer manual and automated testing -- users now have ability to control their product quality in one, easy to use interface," says Tieren Zhou, C.E.O. of TechExcel.

What makes DevTest Studio different? DevTest Studio bridges the gap between development and testing, which allows these two critical processes to progress together in a unified and cohesive fashion, resulting in higher quality software. DevTest Studio leverages its ability to promote teamwork to ensure product quality through standardization, process management and knowledge management which allows relevant data to be linked to test templates, or template view folders. At a macro level, the studio also provides critical management decision making metrics such as quantitative development and testing time estimations, as well as the ability to plan product releases based on the current or projected quality.
