Project & Test Engineering System
The Project Lifecycle Management System
PTESY allows to manage the whole project life cycle, in reiterative way, on relational
database. The main activities:

database.
3) management of configuration items,
4) architetturale design,
5) management of the test procedures,
6) execution of the tests,
7) generation of the test reports,
8) management of the detected problems,
9) management of the I/O signals,
10) generation of the project documentation, in MSWord or MSExcel,
11) traceability of all the methodological objects (requirement, tests cases,
problems and solutions, etc…), along the whole project life cycle.
Thanks to the power of the relational database, the application allows to analyze and
to manage the changes in easy and quick way, keeping the project documentation
and the traceability matrices up-to-date, with great efficiency and time saving, until
the end of the project.
PTESY offers tools for fast and safe tracing of design activities, to quickly produce and
retrieve quality information. A complete suite of tools to deal the project according to

productive industry, and all the technological research.
PTESY is specifically conceived with the objective to support the project manager and
the systemist, particularly in all the heavy and repetitive tasks inherent the quality
methodology and the safe project activities control.
Standard quality (paper) methodologies were born in the public context, are very
expensive and the private enterprises can hardly afford them. PTESY makes possible
to start using methodologies, even when the budgets are reduced!
