3 Track and Test Your Projects like Never Before The Requirements Traceability Matrix for Selenium in Plutora Test enables teams to utilize one tool, one location and one login to track delivery pipelines, testing needs, and delivery requirements. It gives stakeholders a realtime view of the progress and coverage across the entire testing lifecycle. Plutora makes it easy to customize and manage multiple workflows for different projects with rollup management and reporting. Managing test coverage and the associated risk has never been so easy. An intuitive traceability matrix visualizes requirements, test cases and defects under each test plan. Automated Tests and Automated Reporting Gone are the days of trying to manage your test plans with an outdated spreadsheet. Plutora Test automatically tracks every detail of every test, with the added ability to generate and distribute real-time actionable reporting to stakeholders. These reports and dashboards have the best visualizations on the market, and can be further customized to meet your unique organizational needs. They allow you to quickly identify trouble spots and drill down to see more detail. Good news! Because all of this reporting is tracked automatically, you get all these real-time charts and reports without disrupting the ongoing testing efforts of the testers. No more having to choose between testing or reporting on testing.

4 Automation by Selenium, Application by Plutora There is no question that the creation of each Selenium automated test script will save valuable time. Plutora takes that time savings to the next level. Imported Selenium test scripts can be seamlessly integrated and coordinated with manual test scripts from a single location, eliminating the need to jump from one application to another. Eliminate duplication of work. An individual can create an automated or manual test script that can be instantly shared with the team or with multiple teams. Associate tests with user stories and assign to a test case, then build out a timeline for completion or pull in dates from an existing project. You have complete control to run your tests individually or in parallel. If you choose to also integrate Plutora with Jira, you can enable automatic defect tracking which feeds that information back into Jira so the development team can get automated alerts when defects are identified. This level of automation can eliminate hours or even days of testing for each release. Migrate in a Few Clicks The Bulk Upload feature makes it a breeze to import all test cases from any legacy application to Plutora Test in just a few clicks. Enterprise testing teams can get a single project running in minutes, and fully migrate to Plutora Test in less than a week. Mobility - Bring on the Light There s nothing worse than being in a meeting and being asked Where are we at with our testing efforts? and not being able to give an accurate answer. With Plutora Test, you will never be in the dark again. Its mobile interfaces allow you to monitor real-time progress and results across all projects. You can see live telemetry on testing efforts while in meetings, on conference calls, or from the mountain trail.

5 UPDATES MANAGE DEFECTS RESULTS Seamless Integration with Jira Finally, an end-to-end solution to allow all your development and test tools to act as one. With a link established between Plutora Test and Jira, testers automatically create Jira bugs as issues are identified. Details from defects are automatically pushed to Jira for developers to address. This allows developers to both quickly identify quality trends with new code commits and also keep Jira as their tool of choice. More than the act of testing, the act of designing tests is one of the best bug preventers known. Boris Beizer Software Engineer and Author As Jira projects and requirements are created or updated, Plutora Test is automatically synced in a customizable cadence, keeping product management, development, and test teams aligned. Plutora Test also receives automated updates as developers close out Jira defects. This means developers can keep using their tools, and testers can track real-time progress in the Requirements Traceability Matrix. Effective Collaboration like Never Before Communication is managed right in Plutora so there s no need to jump back and forth to external tools. Testing status and results are automatically tracked and reported, so the need to communicate those things in the comment stream is eliminated. This means that the comments given are much more relevant, making all comments much more pertinent. Plutora also automatically tracks history, so you never have to guess or wonder what really happened.

6 Automate your Automated Tests The Autohub feature allows you to run individual or batched Selenium tests cases. It automatically tracks the test results showing real-time reports and has the ability to log any identified defects directly in Jira. Test case batches can run both in sequence or simultaneously on remote servers. This trims valuable time off of your testing cycles without sacrificing product quality. Autohub is ideally suited to expedite unit tests, integration tests, regression testing and performance testing. Design and Manage Test Cases Empower developer and test teams to draft, discuss, approve, build, test, retest and deliver with a highly customizable interface, with built-in test case management. Enable stakeholders to participate even if they are external. Plutora Test is 100% SaaS-based.
