SAN FRANCISCO, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- QMetry, a leading provider of SaaS-based and on-premise Test Case Management solutions, today announced that it has embedded JasperReports Server Professional into its reporting and business intelligence (BI) engine. Jaspersoft BI software enables end users of QMetry to extract greater insights about the testing lifecycle. The joint solution also helps developers monitor the progress, volume, status and effectiveness of all testing activities.

Companies that rely on software to run their business now realize that quality assurance (QA) is not just about testing, but also about bringing efficiencies to the overall software development life cycle (SDLC). Test managers need to constantly monitor the progress of any test and be able to communicate that progress with other SDLC stakeholders via interactive reports. JasperReports Server Professional provides a flexible reporting platform and enables test managers to generate custom reports that convey testing progress to other team members.

QMetry leverages the Jaspersoft BI reporting platform to drive a rich set of reports that can be rendered in HTML (web), Excel, Word, Flash, CSV and Adobe Acrobat PDF formats. Team members can then view reports in real-time or receive them through pre-scheduled email distributions. For QMetry, Jaspersoft Business Intelligence was the obvious choice because of its flexible architecture and cost effective license subscriptions.

"After evaluating several analytics and BI solutions in the market, we selected Jaspersoft because of its proven flexible architecture," said Manish Mathuria, CTO of QMetry. "Jaspersoft gives us the ability to start small and grow our BI engine into a state-of-the-art, open source enterprise application as our business requirements grow. By using JasperReports Server Professional, our customers can now deploy and experience advanced and customized reporting. This has made QMetry's reporting engine one of the most popular and talked about features that differentiate us from our competition."

"We are excited to offer advanced reporting capabilities to QMetry's customers," said Jim Bell, Chief Marketing Officer of Jaspersoft. "Jaspersoft aims to be highly customizable to meet the unique needs of its diverse client base. We empower the next generation of BI builders – developers, IT professionals and business managers tasked with creating customized analytics and reporting solutions to embed within web applications – and it's great to see QMetry doing exactly this and deriving increased value from it."
