Why QPack
• Am I really updated in project progress at all times?
Yes, QPack is updated in real-time, meaning that once an item is entered into the database, it is visible to everyone who has access to it.
• Can I keep my QA team focused on specific tasks that are part of the project goals?
With QPack, all testers are informed of their duties and assigned tests based on version content and ongoing changes.
• How much time is spent on unnecessary meetings, document upkeep, and task delegation?
If you find that you waste too much time on project management, free your time for more important tasks by using QPack. Our time-saving features include:
- Reduce maintenance involved in document administration, management of complex Excel sheets and changes alerts by using the QPack product tree container.
- Use the change request module to reduce the overhead of updating long Excel sheets for changes and customer requests, reducing maintenance time significantly.
- Using one collaborative system with automatic notification mechanism reduces meeting times.
- Manage all releases effectively using the Release Manager module. View each version's activities, pending tests, fixed defects to be tested, and then produce an automatically generated QA plan based on version changes.
• Are all of your project requirements being covered by the testing phase?
With QPack, you can easily generate a coverage matrix to identify requirements that have no tests designed for them.
Using the release management you can easily track requirements that were changed in the specific release and verify that tests were changed or added accordingly. The QA teams are notified for uncovered requirements and can add/update tests as necessary.
• How much time does it take to produce detailed reports?
Produce any kind of report such as QA progress, defects summary, resources utilization, and much more, in one click.
• Can I analyze the impact of change prior to change implementation?
Use QPack traceability matrix to identify dependencies between your project modules. Using the relations graph you can see how a change in one module can affect the others.
Use QPack BI to track feature history. By reviewing tests passed/failed for specific requirements, defects that were reported on it, both internally and by customers, test coverage, you can estimate the sensitivity of change impact for this specific feature.
• How do I cope with multi version management?
Reduce overhead in managing versions and delta between versions (For example, take a defect that was found in version 1.0, fixed in 2.0, and reopened in 3.0. Each state is managed within its specific version).
• How do I manage and communicate with 3rd parties involved in my project?
Using QPack permissions module, you can easily provide restricted access to 3rd party such as remote QA teams to perform the testing and defect reporting, without jeopardizing the data security.
• Do I have a reliable method to manage changes without harming project quality?
The QPack enhancement pool allows you to collect feature requests from customers and internal parties, set their target release, and add them to the specific release. If you see that you cannot provide them on the planned release, you can easily send them back to the enhancement pool, and add them to a future release. This way you can easily move versions from pool-to-release-to-pool
• Will I be able to deliver my product on time and budget?
Using QPack BI you can generate cost reports that show you an accurate estimation of your development cost. Using MSProject allows you to keep track of project progress using Gantt.
• Am I satisfied with communication flow between all development participants?
Being a central system with one repository, all data is concentrated in one place. There is no nee to integrate between multiple systems. Serving all participants of the development lifecycle. Using automatic workflow and notifications, QPack routes information between relevant parties submitted to predefined rule.
• How much time it takes to train new employee?
Being an easy to use system, with each module designed to serve specific participants, learning how to use QPack is fast and easy.
• Do I depend on my employees willingness to share their knowledge?
Creating information filters and saving them as private or pubic allows you to extract the required data with a click of a button at any time.
• How do I manage distributed development environment effectively?
QPack's permissions module allows administrators to restrict access to different groups. The dynamic workflow and notification system allows different groups from different location to work on one collaborative system
