Under the hood

Assure Management Console is a web application built with the latest Web 2.0 technology.

Management Console runs on its own server and does not require QC components to be installed on the client PC. Tasks are queued and executed in the background.

Assure Management Console is both fast and secure. We access QCs DBs to retrieve data, resulting in excellent performance. However, authentication and changes to QC are done via the QC API - so users can only perform actions they have permissions for in QC.
