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.
