TestStrategist® Project is a finger on the pulse of software quality giving you a clear understanding of project status and go-live ability. The clear metrics’ reporting in TestStrategist® Project enables informed management decisions, such as how to structure project resources to maximise testing progress.

With TestStrategist® Project you can:

	Monitor all aspects of test development, from planning and analysis to preparation and execution
	View snapshots of current status across all phases
	Make rapid decisions to manage the risk inherent in any testing project
	Deliver software on time with quality assurance
	Compare results with industry best practice
	Adopt process improvement for future projects
	Learn from prior project experiences
	Implement 'Test Points' - Cresta's unique performance based approach based on quality and quantity measures to track testing effort and progress

How it works:

TestStrategist Project analyses a number of key measurements from your central test repository. TestStrategist Project collates and stores these measurements over time and presents them in an intuitive console interface, allowing quick status analysis of individual areas, and of the project as a whole. Status indicators cover the following areas: Preparation, Execution, Quality and overall Risk as defined below:

	Preparation (Tests Scripted vs Tests Identified)
	Execution (Tests Executed vs Tests Scripted)
	Quality (Tests Passed vs Tests Executed)
	Risk (Tests Passed vs Tests Estimated

These key metrics allow the progress of the testing function to be used as an analogy for the overall progress in the development lifecycle. By constantly monitoring your test repository, TestStrategist® Project enables you to see past and current performance. TestStrategist Project’s trend monitoring ability allows you to forecast future progress and completion dates.

TestStrategist®Project’s ability to analyse test Preparation, Execution, Quality, and Risk gives you an instant, up-to-date overview of any project’s status.
