What is the most basic difference between Quality Center and Test Director?
I am confused. Some say that they are one and the same thing.

Yes.Test director and Quality center are same.From 8.2 it is known as Quality center.The latest Quality center is 9.2 and was released in march 2006.

though Qc and TD are both bug tracking tools but few differences includes
- there are four views in QC but two in TD.
-defect no can be found in TD when it is mailed to developer but in QC it is not so.

QC and TD are NOT Bug Tracking tools. They are Test Management Tools with a free bug tracking component.

Find attached the document which has all the differences listed out between Quality Center and Test Director

Hi All! I have just migrated QC8.2 to QC9.2. Whenever I am trying to execute to Testsets simultaneously, one of the Automatic Runner is fetching error "Unspecified error". So, at a time I can only execute inetestset. But in 8.2 it was possible to open multiple testsets with Automatic runner for the same host.? Please tell me is it QC9.2 new feature or there is any config change?

Hi,
I'm a newbie in the testing environment. How do you upload and log defects in QC?

)Open test script in QTP click on Connect to QC under File menu.
2)Enter QC URL project name/domain/username/password and click on Login.
3)Click on Save As under File menu
4) click on Save in QC.
5)select folder path
6) click on OK

It will be uploaded successfully

After following these steps will it generate automatically?
