What is IBM Engineering Test Management, and what problem is it built to solve?

"Four year user of manual testing in RQM & Rational Tools"

1/5

What do you like best about IBM Engineering Test Management?

I like the link to the requirements tool. We used to use RequisitePro and now we use RDNG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Test Management?

The interface is frustrating: it bounces around as one makes entries, there are side panes that slide around until you figure out how to pin them, if you can. Navigation can be idiosyncratic from screen to screen, sometimes requiring one to place one's cursor in a field and tab to see the fields that extend off the screen.

The interface for reports is horrible.

The underlying structure that supposedly allows re-use of test cases is apparently flawed in that you can re-use a test case but you can't update it without overwriting the originally recorded results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely great experience using Rational Quality Manager"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Engineering Test Management?

What I liked the best is that you can manage your entire testing process directly within the tool. It gives you the capability to write your entire test plan, test cases, test scripts and import requirements from ReqPro all within the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Test Management?

The reporting mechanism. The reporting needs a lot of work to be able to view the data within the tool much better. It's kind of frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Engineering Test Management:

Highly recommend RQM...especially if you are a "Rational" shop. It integrates extremely well with ReqPro with ease. This tool will improve the way you manage your test artifacts and processes. It's easy to use and highly customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allowed our team to have both System Test and User Acceptance Test teams to manage their testing processes. That is something Excel is not built to handle. We went from Excel to RQM and it improved our entire test process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rational Quality Manager Review"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Engineering Test Management?

RQM integrates well with tools that support other disciplines such as requirements management and configuration/change management. For example, Rational Requirements composer (RRC), Reqpro, Rational Team Concert (RTC) and ClearQuest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Test Management?

RQM is slow to load on web browsers which could be due to poor scalability. RQM's performance also tends to become slower with more users. Furthermore, RQM is relatively expensive to purchase. The pricing appears to limit the adoption of RQM by smaller teams that don't have a robust budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
