Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very reliable as a solution.""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.""Integration with the other professional tools is a very strong advantage, so that we can have a traceability between the requirements and defects in Rational Team Concert. That's the most important aspect.""RQM's best features are integration with test automation and performance testing.""Reusability and integration capabilities which make it a great choice for organizations that use a variety of development tools and platforms.""Latest features include versioning of testings which can be great when used for multiple releases of a product.""RQM is something that we use everyday, so it has to be up and running, otherwise we would lose everything."

"The initial setup was not complex and the product itself is very easy to configure and use.""It is easy for business users to use who are not familiar with testing tools.""Test migration from HPE are done automatically. We can extract our tests from HPE, and they convert it into the Panaya format.""The test repository to follow the test progress is most valuable because we can easily create and manage a huge number of test scripts. We can copy and paste, replicate, and drag and drop many tests scripts. We can create test scripts en masse. When you have a high volume of tests, the tool is quite useful. It works well when you want to manage a lot of tests, such as you have 1,000 or more test scripts.""The solution helps with recording and documentation.""Provides better monitoring for testing campaigns and business process testing.""The most valuable feature is the ability to copy the scenarios and as we do a rollout we can efficiently complete test three and put it somewhere else under a new subsidiary."

Cons
"It would be helpful if we could assign a hierarchy to a group of test cases.""Organizing the test cases is tedious. There is no mechanism to keep and maintain the test cases as hierarchy. This should be seriously addressed.""Mainly Quality Assurance and DevOps, but of course the whole company and management areas with more knowledge of quality and client success approach.""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.""Currently, the user interface needs to be more user-friendly.""Integration capabilities with other vendors' tools should improve."

More IBM Rational Quality Manager Cons →

"They provide options for custom fields or tabs, but customization of workflows would be great.""It would be nice to be able to test offline. What I mean by that is today most of the time things are in the cloud, but sometimes when we are in factories and we do not have network access and we should be able to download a test script into our PCs and do the test offline. Once that is complete we can re-upload it when we have a network connection.""Nothing is automatic.""The setup of Panaya Recorder is a bit complex. Panaya is a SaaS application, but you need to install some components on your computer. You need to set up your computer to allow Panaya Recorder to work. There are five or six things to do each time you install Panaya for any user. If you miss something, Panaya Recorder doesn't work. So, it is complex to install.""Support is reactive and in English only."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licenses of these tools (the whole CLM package) is very costly as compared to other vendors' tools."
  • "Each license includes 12 months of customer support. A free 90-day trial of the software is also available."
  • More IBM Rational Quality Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution is rather expensive due to the security it has to offer."
  • "It is expensive. Because of its cost, we couldn't deploy Panaya to a large extent. Its licensing should be improved, and there should be more license types. There should be an advanced license and a basic license."

    Overview

    IBM Rational Quality Manager is a next-generation web-based collaboration tool that provides test artifact management, construction, and planning throughout the entire development process. IBM Rational Quality Manager is based on IBM’s successful Jazz™ platform and derives many of its popular intuitive features from Jazz™.

    IBM Rational Manager was developed for every type of test team in the marketplace today. Every role is included, such as test manager, test architect, lab manager, tester, and test lead. The solution is also able to include various roles outside the established test organization.

    IBM Rational Quality Manager Features and Benefits:

    • Customizable design and construction: Users can easily define the overall design for each and every test case. Every test case contains a robust text editor, which can include background data concerning the test case. Test cases can include links to developmental requirements and items. They can also include test artifacts, such as test scripts, test case execution processes, and test plans. Test cases can also be integrated with test suites.

    • Intuitive reporting: IBM Rational Quality Manager provides an intuitive set of predefined reports to ensure users get comprehensive status on all projects. Additional customized reports can be made available by using the Development Intelligence or Rational Insight features for more precise reporting. Users can view live test execution status and are also able to discover the relationship between test artifacts, development artifacts, and requirements in the traceability view.

    • Exhaustive test planning processes: Users define and customize test plans that will drive all activity for the organization's teams through every component of the project’s lifecycle. Everything is developed around the concept of: “ Is this ready for release?” The test plan defines the project scope and test effort, and contains the key indicators so all team members will understand the desired outcomes.

      Top test plan tasks include (but are not limited to):

      • Definition of test and business objectives.
      • Evaluate the size of the test effort.
      • Define different environments to test and develop test configurations.
      • Develop entrance criteria, exit criteria, and overall quality goals.
      • Create a review and approval process for the test plan and/or individual test cases.
      • View Real-time Test Progress

    • Collaboration made easy: Users can easily share data with other members of the team with the Collaboration Lifecycle Management (CLM). Team members can also assign tasks and view each other's progress. They can also distribute work for review and track the input and status of each reviewer. There is also the ability to lock artifacts to prevent others from editing a completed piece.

    • Security: IBM Rational Quality Manager can protect against attack threats and data breaches with the IBM AppScan Tester. This can help achieve higher quality and more secure applications with greater positive outcomes at a very reasonable competitive cost.

    • Governance: The solution will ensure that an organization’s business processes are in compliance with department, corporate, industry, regional, and government regulations and standards. IBM Rational Quality Manager will correlate test processes and create suitable records of testing results and project history to comply with any auditing process.

    Panaya Test Dynamix makes it easy for large enterprises to test smarter and release faster, by gaining control and visibility of every aspect of their ERP testing wherever they are.
