Not enough information about the tool
Not needed at all
Not needed, though it is important we should
have this kind of tool in the company now or in
the future
could be good for our needs but yet soon to be
define
good software, could help
strong advise
Very much

Rational ClearQuest and Functional Testing
Learn about | How to buy | Support
Solution for defect management, test management and functional software testing
My opinion according to the demo :
Amazing tool yet I think this tool is over killing for our business it has great aspect to manage the testing
into requirements through the tool and running the test through the web application and analysis them
into bugs (1)

Great tool in the concept of the tool though don’t think we need it at this
moment maybe in the future (1)
Summery
According to the tool presented here the future overview of tool we need to set in our
company.
Form point of view we should divide the system into components for the system check.
System should include level of concern:




Application
Database
OS
Network level
Each of these components is vital to produce the product images.
Therefore we should check the system \components
1. Regression test on the system
a. Algorithm component (on DATA )
b. System regression (3 computers ,DICOM files )
2. Load test
Increasing the load on the system with automated tools.
a. Random ,sequence ,step
i. Per system
ii. Per component
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
iii. DATABASE load test
Performances test which analysis the BIT rate and FPS.
The goal of performance testing is not to find bugs, but to eliminate bottlenecks and
establish a baseline for future regression testing. To conduct performance testing is to
engage in a carefully controlled process of measurement and analysis. Ideally, the
software under test is already stable enough so that this process can proceed smoothly.
Functional testing
Automated tool to run scenarios on the whole system.
In IBM they had a tool that hold the SPEC inside a GUI and then run scenario on the
product and immediately can add cases according to new SPEC.
Client \server web application tool to run functional test on the error handling
application or if the application will have kind of GUI.
Memory leak and memory corruption detection for Windows\Linux (for the
APPLICATION).
Stress testing – takes resources of the system and try to see how the system recover
(like CPU, closing ports and opening other ports, close the database, rebuild the raid
while system is using it).
