IBM® Rational® Quality Manager is designed to be used by test teams of all sizes and supports a variety of user roles and work flows. This topic describes one possible flow to using the key core capabilities of Rational Quality Manager: test management, manual test scripts, defect management, and reporting.

The following diagram shows one possible work flow through the core capabilities of Rational Quality Manager for a test team. The test manager or test lead defines requirements and then creates a test plan and test cases. The tester creates manual test scripts and then runs the test cases and files any defects. The Test manager or test lead can also create reports on various aspects of the test plan and the status of the testing.

The diagram is provided only as an example. Your team might use a different work flow. In addition, the diagram implies that each task follows sequentially, whereas in reality most tasks can be acted on simultaneously.
