Test Management QuickStart

Installation, configuration and training for your first IBM Engineering Test Management team, in five days.

Overview

Your first test team in Test Management, in five days

A fixed-fee service for the rapid adoption of IBM Engineering Test Management (formerly Rational Quality Manager) by an initial team of up to 10 users, based on the out-of-the-box configuration.

Test Management gives quality teams a collaborative, role-based environment for test planning and execution, workflow control, tracking and metrics reporting. Its out-of-the-box configurations let you see the benefits within weeks.

It is often best to start with an initial team on a real project. You see the benefits at low risk and build the foundation for more teams later.

Our part

We plan the installation with you, install and configure Test Management, document the result and train your first test team on your own server. After five days your testers plan and run tests in Test Management.

Your starting point

Where is your test management today?

Most quality teams call us at one of these points. Each one ends with Test Management in daily use.

FAQ

Questions we hear before a Test Management QuickStart

How many users does the QuickStart cover?

An initial team of up to 10 users, working with the out-of-the-box configuration of Test Management. Larger teams and custom processes are a separate engagement. We run it on-site or remotely.

What do we need to prepare?

A Windows or Linux server, a DB2 or Oracle database, the completed prerequisite checklist we send before day one, and access to your system and database administrators.

What exactly gets installed?

IBM Jazz Team Server, Test Management, DOORS Next, Workflow Management, Report Builder and Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE), on a single server.

What is not included?

Integrations with other IBM or third-party products, platforms other than Windows or Linux, custom report templates and other applications. We can quote them separately.

Can you move our existing test cases?

Migration of test assets is not part of the QuickStart. We can plan it as a next step, for example from spreadsheets or another test tool.

What happens after the five days?

Your team works on its own. If you need more, see Software Testing Process or ask us about test automation.
