Rational Quality Manager and Rational Test Lab Manager

A collaborative ALM software quality delivery environment

IBM Rational Quality Manager provides a collaborative application lifecycle management (ALM) environment for test planning, construction, and execution. Rational Quality Manager helps meet the challenges of software testing with effective workflow control, tracking, and traceability features. The application also offers metrics analysis and reporting functions that quantify how project decisions impact and align with business objectives.

IBM Rational Test Lab Manager integrates fully with Rational Quality Manager and helps to improve the efficiency of the test lab and optimize how resources are requested and provided. You can also integrate Rational Quality Manager with Rational solutions in these areas: security, functional testing, performance testing, web services testing, and run-time analysis testing.

What's new in 2.0.1

We're making it even easier to adapt Rational Quality Manager to your environment by introducing master test plans and project templates. This will streamline and provide consistency between new project areas and test plans through use of inherited data.

We've also expanded capabilities to locate, edit and copy test artifacts, added the ability to create a snapshot of an execution result record to aide with compliance requirements and added support for Windows 7, Windows 2008 Server R2, and Solaris.
