IBM Rational Quality Manager Reviews

Integration throughout the complete product development process. Also, the integration of third-party automation test tools.

Easy collaboration between several development teams such as design, development, and testing.

• Management of artefacts
• Support of paramater needs to be easier
  

I've used it for three years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It was easy.

It was done in-house.

Project realization has been carried out much faster. The integration of test automation tools.

Use workgroup licenses for smaller environments.

Plan the training and usage properly. Also, proper planning of the architecture and test execution artefacts needs to be dond.

We are a consultancy and we use this solution to create a testing plan, that includes test cases, for our clients. It is part of a larger suite of tools that includes Rational Functional Tester, which helps to automate the process.

The most valuable feature is the RFT because it allows us to automate manual test cases. We can do mainframe automation as well as web-based automation.

Adding support for uploading a collection of test cases would be a helpful addition. As it is now, we cannot upload a set of test cases, and instead, have to create it manually. Being able to upload hundreds of test cases would save us time, but it needs to be fast. For example, if 10 users are writing 100 tests case in a day, then uploading them should not take more than a minute.

I have been working with IBM Rational Quality Manager for the past four years.

This is a stable solution.

In our organization, we have 4,000 users and we don't have any issues. If we add more users then IBM will not have any problem scaling.

The technical support from IBM is very good.

In the past four years, I have not personally needed to contact them.

I did not work with another similar solution prior to this one.

The initial setup is very easy for our team. It will take us half an hour.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

VF dashboard view looks okay. It allows user to add whichever widget (predefined) based on the need. It has integration with CCM and RM to achieve traceability.

Organizing the test cases is tedious. There is no mechanism to keep and maintain the test cases as hierarchy. This should be seriously addressed. As the number of test cases grows, it’ll be really difficult to maintain the test cases. The tool should be able to support and maintain the test cases in a folder-wise structure to identify the different module/phase-wise test cases.

Around three years.

No.

No.

Yes. Customer requirement.

Not applicable.

I suggest to go for other tools. As the number of test cases grow, it’ll be really difficult to maintain the test cases. The tool should be able to support and maintain the test cases in a folder-wise structure to identify the different module test cases.
