IBM® Rational® Quality Manager integration overview

IBM® Rational® Quality Manager is a business-driven software quality environment for people seeking a collaborative and customizable solution for test planning, workflow control, tracking and metrics reporting capable of quantifying how project decisions and deliverables impact and align with business objectives.

Rational® Quality Manager allows you to:

Create Rational® Quality Manager test environments that are linked to Rational® Test RealTime target deployment ports
Create Rational® Quality Manager test scripts that are linked to Rational® Test RealTime test assets.
Deploy and run Rational® Test RealTime tests for the Rational® Quality Manager interface.
View HTML reports in the Rational® Quality Manager interface.

Rational® Quality Manager uses the term test script to describe it's basic test assets. Rational® Quality Manager test scripts are mapped to Rational® Test RealTime test suites. A test suite contains multiple test harnesses that are run sequentially to provide global results for a project.

To use Rational® Quality Manager with a computer that uses Rational® Test RealTime for Eclipse IDE, the Rational® Test RealTime adapter service must be running on the computer.

With the adapter running, you can import test suites as Rational® Quality Manager test scripts, construct a new Rational® Quality Manager test case based on those test suites, and run the tests from Rational® Quality Manager. You can also view the results of the tests in Rational® Quality Manager as HTML reports.
