Lighthouse: Test Management

Why Use Lighthouse to Manage your Tests?

Testing is fundamental to ensuring that your software meets your requirements. Lighthouse Test Management is fully integrated with requirements, making this process simple.

Measuring success in test management is not about how many defects found, but how many requirements are met. Lighthouse test cases are automatically linked to requirements, and failed test cases automatically produce defects. Lighthouse dashboards and reports allow you to see how your project is really (not how many bugs were found) doing in real-time.

See the details of Lighthouse Test Management below, or try it yourself.
