Features: IBM Engineering Test Management offers robust integration capabilities, traceability features, and comprehensive tracking and reporting capabilities. Parasoft Development Testing Platform provides extensive automation tools, static analysis, and thorough code coverage.
Room for Improvement: IBM Engineering Test Management users often highlight the need for a modern interface, enhanced customization options, and faster support response times. Parasoft Development Testing Platform users desire better integration with other tools, improved documentation, and a simpler deployment process.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: IBM Engineering Test Management is generally easier to deploy thanks to its well-documented installation process, but some users report slower support response times. Parasoft Development Testing Platform has a more complex deployment process but receives higher marks for its responsive and helpful customer service.
Pricing and ROI: IBM Engineering Test Management users find the initial setup cost reasonable with a satisfactory ROI due to its integration with other IBM products. Parasoft Development Testing Platform tends to have higher initial costs, but users indicate a high ROI justified by its advanced features and automation capabilities.
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.
