Rational Quality Manager and Rational Test Lab Manager 2.0.1 Release Candidate 1 MilestoneTrial Version

March 5, 2010 | Learn about the project | Documentation

This is not the most recent version. We recommend Rational Quality Manager and Rational Test Lab Manager 2.0.1 iFix 3
This is a pre-release milestone build. We recommend that you install any pre-release build as an additional instance, in a separate directory, and that you do not "Update" your existing installation to the pre-release build using the IBM Installation Manager.
A release candidate is a pre-release milestone build that should contain all features planned for the release. After this point only defects are fixed prior to release. Each subsequent release candidate should be more stable than previous release candidates.
