Elementool Features and Strengths
Issue Tracking and Test Cases
Elementool Issue Tracking enables project teams to easily add a list of issues or bugs to work on. The software allows users to have different roles and access rights. The project leader can prioritize the list and assign important tasks to specific team members for quick resolution. Each team member can see the prioritized tasks assigned, work on them, and create an updated status of their tasks for the succeeding steps in the process as well for status reporting.
The Test Cases product lets users manage and delegate test cases for overall quality control. The software enables the test team to organize and assign each and every test case to minimize any discovery of defects after rollout. Users can track new test cases, define test case steps and procedures, prioritize cases, assign them, and generate reports. Its views and forms are customizable for effective oversight and increased visibility into the project testing process.
Help Desk and Requirements Management
The Help Desk tool enables a company to run a streamlined customer service operation. It centralizes all customer information needed by desk agents to easily track issues from start to finish. They can view all the messages received from and sent to customers. Additionally, the help desk team can view and track all the correspondence history of each message and generate reports.

Case Studies
Peter Jin is the Director of IT, QA, and Release for an event ticket resale marketplace based in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. The company provides secondary tickets to the public for a variety of events including sports, concerts, and theater shows. It uses several applications to give customers an enjoyable and secure online shopping experience. Problems occurred because the company could not effectively measure and monitor application defects and project status, making improvements nearly impossible.
Once implementing Elementool, the company could track all their production and test defects. The team finds Elementool easy to use, allowing Jin and the team to update issues, create new users, and update forms in minutes. Now, the company can keep track of issues that exists, as well as prioritize and manage all their projects throughout the software development life cycle.
