"Incredible Power and features with complexity to match"

2.5/5

What do you like best about IBM Engineering Test Management?

There is a lot of features to make sure you can get the data and reporting you need for your project. It has many options out of the box for a person to use and with configuration there is even more available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Test Management?

Too complex for a normal team to use. There would need to be a person dedicated to its use and get training on it to get everything out of it. Installing the system is not easy and user reporting is not a mandatory feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Engineering Test Management:

Make sure you try to install it yourself. We have to depend on a 3rd party to keep it working for us. Be clear on what you want from them like the user reporting was not there for us. This also has a bunch of extra parts and so much can go wrong. the jazz server has been a problem and the use of java too.

We've had it running for 6 months with problems here and there. Without support from an expert we've would have many problems. It also took us a month to get it implemented with the help of another company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Engineering Test Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making sure we have defects identified and fixed. Tracking the progress of the fixes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Functional Test Analyst - worked as a contractor for Highmark Insurance"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Engineering Test Management?

Very neat layout. Allows for a well-organized work. It was always convenient to use it. User-friendly. Was an employee of CIBER (a IT service company), and we used to sit at a different location than Highmark. For every new project we used to receive requirements and it was very clear what the Highmark needs. The entire testing process was made easier. Made a good installation choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Test Management?

Actually I didn't dislike this tool as it was very user-friendly. Used this tool for two years on multiple projects and felt the most comfortable receiving requirements, perform testing, and submitting back the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
