IBM Engineering Test Management and Akamai CloudTest compete in test management and load testing. Akamai CloudTest is superior in performance testing for large environments.
Features: IBM Engineering Test Management offers strong test planning, execution, and reporting, integrating seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines. Its test management and collaboration tools support a variety of IBM tools. Akamai CloudTest simulates real-world user scenarios at scale, provides detailed performance analytics, and is designed for high performance testing and scalability.
Room for Improvement: IBM can improve by enhancing its load testing capabilities, offering a more flexible deployment option, and streamlining initial setup configurations. Akamai could enhance its test management functionalities, improve integration with third-party tools, and optimize customer support documentation.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: IBM Engineering Test Management offers an on-premises deployment model, requiring more upfront configuration but is praised for its extensive support and documentation. Akamai CloudTest provides a cloud-based model, allowing rapid deployment and adaptation, noted for quick setup and flexibility.
Pricing and ROI: IBM Engineering Test Management typically involves higher initial setup costs but can offer significant ROI within IBM environments due to its integration. Akamai CloudTest offers a scalable pricing model aligned with its cloud-based approach, delivering high ROI for optimizing large-scale load testing.
Soasta's CloudTest rapidly builds realistic test scenarios using real user data, then tests, analyzes and repairs faster. CloudTest's visual test environment and real-time analytics test your website, mobile app and api backend to give you a streaming view of all your performance data while tests run from back-end systems to front end performance.
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.
