Functionality. Security. Performance.
HP Application Quality Management
In today’s complex and demanding testing environment, you can get your job done easier and faster with the power of the HP Application Quality Management portfolio behind you.
Whatever testing methodology you’re currently using or your level of testing maturity, HP’s three quality management solution centers can help you improve your testing effort and the quality of your applications:
Verify Functionality
Quality Center helps you verify application functionality and establish a structured and maintainable manual or automated testing base.
Ensure Application Security
Application Security Center helps you ensure the application is secure by catching and resolving security issues pre-production.
Validate Performance
Performance Center validates application scalability and performance through load testing and diagnostics.
Each of these three elements of Application Quality Management has its own distinct function and together they form a complete testing solution and a solid base for your testing effort. And only by using them together will you be able to harness the full power of the Application Quality Management portfolio and ensure your applications are quality-checked and ready for deployment.

HP Quality Center
If your organization relies on your business applications for the smooth running of day-to-day business, then it’s your job to make certain these critical applications do not fail. This can only be accomplished with efficiently managed and standardized test processes.
For example, when you use stand-alone documents, a collection of disparate systems and non-standardized processes, you increase the risk of deploying a bad application due to missing information, ineffective communication and a lack of consistent and repeatable processes.
When you don’t have a clear, real-time overview of progress and status, you run the risk of last-minute problems, missed deadlines and poor quality.
Minimizing risks is what HP Quality Center does best. Leveraging consistent, repeatable and standardized processes, this HP Software solution helps you address the wide-ranging challenges you face. From making sure your application does what it should to providing information to allow you to make informed decisions to meet business requirements.
Benefits
When you harness the power of HP Quality Center, you can:
- Gain real-time visibility of requirements coverage and associated defects for a clearer picture of business risks
- Better manage the release process and make more informed decisions with real-time reports
- Measure progress and effectiveness of quality activities
- Facilitate standardized testing and quality processes that boost productivity through workflows and alerts
- Lower costs by capturing critical defects early in the application lifecycle

HP Application Security Center
Many organizations traditionally check applications for security vulnerabilities as an afterthought before deployment or even in production. In any case, ensuring the security of an application was not in your job description.
But that has changed. With users’ increased reliance on web-based applications and more regulations governing privacy, a security breach can not only be detrimental in terms of business performance and costs but also reflect negatively on your business.
And since industry analysts have identified that 70 percent of security vulnerabilities exist in the application layer security testing must now be integrated throughout the application development process – and should be considered an essential part of your quality management strategy. After all, testing is all about finding defects in an application – and a security vulnerability is just another kind of defect.
The problem, however, is that application security testing tools are limited with existing tools often requiring security and vulnerability expertise. But not with HP Application Security Center. This solution helps you, with minimal security expertise, quickly and cost-effectively perform a security risk assessment to detect and correct security vulnerabilities and defects.
Benefits
When you harness the power of Application Security Center, you can:
- Lower risks by detecting security vulnerabilities early in the application software development lifecycle
- Reduce time and budget for a security risk assessment through consolidated, automated testing
- Provide visibility into enterprise-wide application security status
- Meet legal and regulatory compliance requirements
- Check complicated sites, including those using JavaScript, flash, web services, SOAP or Ajax

HP Performance Center
Predicting how your systems will behave and how your applications will perform under extreme conditions is no easy task.
First, performance is often tied to business requirements. Second, predicting what will happen is, well, unpredictable. For example, if your company has received some positive press your website may experience a surge in traffic that, though highly welcome, can wreak havoc on your systems if you’re not prepared.
For a retailer, things like the Christmas rush needs to be taken into account. Internally, a merger or the end-of-year closing could strain a mission-critical business application.
What you need is a testing solution that enables you to optimize applications based on different load conditions as defined by the business. Using minimal hardware resources, HP Performance Center can simulate the effect that hundreds or thousands of concurrent users would have on an application’s performance.
With this integrated solution, you can stress an application from end to end, applying consistent, measurable and repeatable loads, and use the data to identify scalability issues that could impact users – and ultimately, the business.
Identifying a performance issue, such as a slow-running application, is half the battle. HP Performance Center can also help you pinpoint the exact cause of the problem and fix it.
Benefits
When you harness the power of HP Performance Center, you can:
- Lower the cost of distributed load testing
- Reduce the risk of deploying systems that do not meet your performance requirements
- Lower hardware and software costs by accurately predicting system capacity
- Pinpoint the root cause of application performance problems quickly and accurately
