Service Test Management Overview
When developing an application comprised of many components, it is
essential that you organize the components and keep track of their tested
status. Service Test Management, in conjunction with other HP testing tools,
enables you to test and organize the application components. You can
ensure that they perform their intended function and that they are able to
scale to the needs of the applications that use them.
Service Test Management’s Application Components module in Quality
Center, enables you to centrally manage your assets. Using this module, you
can define and store application components in Quality Center’s repository.
After you define components, you can generate a set of requirements and
tests to validate the functionality, interoperability, security, boundaries,
standards compliance, and performance of the components in your
application. You can then run tests and view results in the Test Plan and Test
Lab modules.
Service Test Management also provides change analysis that highlights
changes in the components and evaluates the impact that they may have.
Based on these changes, Service Test Management can automatically
generate the test sets that are required to validate the component.

The Service Test Management Integrated Solution
Service Test Management is an integrated solution that allows you to
manage the quality of your application components, such as .NET, Java, or
Web Service applications. It integrates the following HP products:
➤ HP Quality Center. Enables you to centrally manage SOA assets from the
Application Components module. You can define, import, and store services
in Quality Center, and generate the necessary requirements and tests.
➤ HP Service Test. Enables you to automatically create scripts for testing your
SOA environment. You can edit tests generated using Service Test
Management, run tests, view results, reuse components and services, and
create an emulation of a Web service for testing purposes.
➤ HP LoadRunner/HP Performance Center. Enable you to perform load testing
on services, and monitor and predict their performance under load.
HP LoadRunner Analysis allows you to drill down to determine the specific
source of bottlenecks and generate actionable reports.
➤ HP Systinet Registry. Enables you to import Web services from the HP
Systinet Registry (supports Systinet 2 with Service Pack 1 or later).
The Advantages of Service Test Management
Service Test Management provides the following features:
➤ A complete testing process that includes functional testing and
performance testing.
➤ Automatically generated requirements and tests that validate the
functionality (positive and negative), interoperability, standards
compliance, security, and performance of an application component or
service.
➤ Reusable tests that can be combined and extended across teams,
providing easier transfer of knowledge and test data.➤ Change management and change impact testing that highlights changes
in application components and environments, and evaluates the impact
that changes may have on different applications.
