Vector Software has announced an integration with Jama that helps engineering and QA professionals boost software quality by using the VectorCAST test tool and Jama Test Management to link test cases to requirements, run test plans, and log related defects to ensure complete test coverage.Jama Software’s test management solution is tightly integrated with its requirements management and collaboration capabilities for seamless workflows between product planning and quality assurance professionals.

The integration of the VectorCAST tools with Jama enables developers to import software requirements from Jama into VectorCAST, assign these requirements to VectorCAST test cases, and then after the tests have been executed, export test results back to Jama.

This highly customisable integration can be easily tailored to a specific Jama configuration, and requires only a network connection to the Jama Web Service for communication, with no additional software required.

Due to its tight integration across the define, build and test phases of product delivery, Jama Test Management gives developers full traceability by housing requirements in the same place as the test cases. Unlike traditional test management tools that simply organise test activities, Jama leverages the team’s collaboration to focus testing efforts on high-risk areas — resulting in increased quality and reduction in costly software errors.

The benefit of basing test cases on requirements is that developers can evaluate functional requirements, analysis models, and prototypes as soon as portions of the requirements stabilize, and find and correct problems before they significantly impact the project.
