Getting Started

Can Axe be integrated with test management products like Team Foundation Server or HP Quality Center?
- Axe integrates with all leading test management tools, including TFS and HP Quality Centre (QC).
- Axe tests are defined in TFS or QC just like any other existing manual or automated test. This means that the full power of QC can be used for linking tests to Requirements and managing the full test creation process e.g. assigning tests to individuals, setting priorities and due dates etc.
- QC just contains the 'header' information for the test such as test id, priority, owner etc. The actual test itself is defined in the Axe spreadsheets. So there is no duplication of data and hence no need for synchronisation.
- Automated test runs can then be defined in the Test Lab and used by Axe to control which tests are built and executed.
- After the tests have run Axe provides the capability to import the results back into QC thus creating a fully joined-up and managed test process.
- The full power of QC's reporting capability can then be utilised to produce reports and analysis of the test runs.
- The integration with Axe is achieved by the open QC API. As such it is easy to further customise the Axe integration with QC to meet any specific requirements.
- Detailed information about Axe integration with QC and other test management tools can be found in the Axe documentation, which is supplied with software implementations.
