We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The one feature that has not allowed us to switch to any other solution is the integration with functional testing.""The most valuable feature is the RFT because it allows us to automate manual test cases.""It allows user to add whichever widget (predefined) based on the need. It has integration with CCM and RM to achieve traceability.""Latest features include versioning of testings which can be great when used for multiple releases of a product.""It's very reliable as a solution.""Reusability and integration capabilities which make it a great choice for organizations that use a variety of development tools and platforms.""RQM's best features are integration with test automation and performance testing.""RQM is something that we use everyday, so it has to be up and running, otherwise we would lose everything."

"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package.""We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros.""I face no challenges or stability issues.""It's stable and reliable.""I am impressed with the product's script test.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool.""As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding.""Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."

Cons
"Integration capabilities with other vendors' tools should improve.""Mainly Quality Assurance and DevOps, but of course the whole company and management areas with more knowledge of quality and client success approach.""While RQM allows for running tests and viewing results, it could be further enhanced in terms of performance and speed.""It would be helpful if we could assign a hierarchy to a group of test cases.""Currently, the user interface needs to be more user-friendly.""Adding support for uploading a collection of test cases would be a helpful addition.""RQM could be improved by adding a feature that allows test requirements to be selected when creating a task plan.""I think it's fine from a performance perspective but usability is something that needs improvement."

More IBM Engineering Test Management Cons →

"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation.""More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there.""Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area.""The solution is expensive.""The integration with mobile testing could be useful.""The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint.""The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve.""The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."

    Overview

    IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM), formerly known as IBM Rational® Quality Manager (RQM), is a business-driven software quality environment designed for collaborative and customizable test planning, workflow control, tracking, and metrics reporting. When integrated with IBM DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), ETM allows users to create test environments and scripts, deploy and run tests, and view HTML reports. This integration enables the creation of ETM test environments linked to Test Embedded target deployment ports, the deployment and execution of Test Embedded tests through the ETM interface, and the mapping of ETM test scripts to Test Embedded test suites. Additionally, users can import test suites as ETM test scripts, build new ETM test cases, and view test results as HTML reports within ETM. The integration requires the Test Embedded adapter service to be running on the user's computer.
