Migrating from other RM tools that do not support ReqIf Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used other Quality Management tools for testing. IBM Quality Management tool is very effective for creation, execution and maintenance. It's one tool for all testing activities. Right from creation of teat plan to test execution runs can be easily linked and tracked. Easy to generate and maintain status graphs on dash board for various quality management needs.

Even when the user is actively working on Quality Management tool, sometimes the tool prompts the user to login again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many options out of the box for a person to use. There are features to make sure you can get the correct data and reporting you need for your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting. The reporting feature needs a lot of extra work to be able to view the correct data within the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

traceability to requirements, lot of places to capture data about testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it needs to be more geared towards engineering for example support floating point attribute type in custom attributes, more flexibility with test environments, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use RTC to manage our workflow. It is a quite comprehensive tool that helps to manage the employees' work much better. Primarily, tickets are generated, which will be tasks that each of the employees will manage. It has the ability to change the status it is in, what type of

In summary, it is capable of managing work items with flexible process flows, reviews, approvals, discussion features captured/grouped in one place. It allows obtaining the complete information of the work item with the history of how it evolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The administrator controls are powerful, but there is a rather complicated learning curve and you will need the support of colleagues who already know how to use it or the IBM manual. It is too powerful to manage easily from the beginning if you are new as an administrator.

The concept of SDLC in RTC is very good and clear, but if you bring this tool to an existing organization, your developers, testers, etc. will NOT accept it easily. You MUST ensure that they have adequate time for training, have sessions to experiment and ask questions, and offer unlimited retraining sessions. Seriously. Make the RTC administrators own that, because ultimately it will save you time and frustration as an administrator, as people will start to learn the RTC method and will be less and less likely to cause alarms and panic in the final hours before scheduling an implementation.

All my test procedures can be stored in one system. This gives access to everyone on my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There seems to be a lot of moving around/clicking to run the test procedure. I am fairly new, maybe there is a better way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the flexibility and power of the DNG platform and the fact that it directly integrates with RTC and RQM for full lifecycle management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would have preferred more examples of configuration management within the help documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM Engineering Workflow Management helps my company map requirements to products. We develop these product to help with knowledge on our sensors. The best thing I like about Engineering Workflow is the traceability it provides on development cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had a long learning curve with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WM has a lot of potential to improve the workflow when properly is used with other tools in IBM ALM suites. It supports SAFe which is important for organization that requires scalability with Agile framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited usability on plan views and tools can be unreliable at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Global Configuration Management is a real great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am missing features that i am used from DOORS 9 and which I think made DOORS 9 the most used Requirements Tool like:

- Extendible thru scripting (with UI integration!)

- Soft-deleted Objects

- Calculated Columns (dxl layout columns)
