Quality Center 11.0 Essentials

This hands-on course provides the tools you need to implement and utilize Quality Center 11. Students learn how to manage quality information throughout the development cycle, from constructing requirements, designing and executing tests, through monitoring defects. Note: Course is based on the Enterprise edition of Quality Center.
