Q. What is the use of Test Director software?
Test Director is Mercury Interactive's software test management tool. It helps quality assurance personnel plan and organize the testing process. With Test Director you can create a database of manual and automated tests, build test cycles, run tests, and report and track defects. You can also create reports and graphs to help review the progress of planning tests, running tests, and tracking defects before a software release.
Q. In the defect life cycle, if you find a defect in QC and think that it is not a valid defect. what will you do? Just close it or store it in any document for future review, if yes what type of document and where?
In the above scenario, the defect can be rejected.
