Enhanced test planning capabilities in CARS and QACenter allow users to balance risk and time factors when planning a testing effort. "Now an organization can prioritize what testing can be done in the time they've actually got," Eshelby said.

Both CARS and QACenter now can integrate with third-party requirements management tools such as Borland CalibreRM, IBM Rational RequisitePro, SteelTrace Catalyze, and Telelogic Doors.

"Our integration allows you to publish requirements from these tools into both our CARS and QACenter solutions and synchronize them back to the requirements tools," Eshelby said.

The two new Compuware products are available now.
