IBM® Rational® Quality Manager provides
several tools to help you manage, organize, and locate the test assets
within a project.
Organizing with categories
In IBM Rational Quality Manager,
a category is essentially an attribute of a test asset. Categories
can be used as a grouping mechanism to organize a test project into
logical hierarchies. If you migrate test assets from other products
that typically use a hierarchical organization, the container elements
in those hierarchies are represented as categories in Rational Quality Manager.
Searching for test assets
Over time, most test teams generate a large number of test
assets. IBM Rational Quality Manager provides
tools to help manage and locate these assets.
Track test assets and activities for auditing
You can view a history of test asset events, types, and
attribute changes, with information about the users that performed
those actions and the date and time of each action. You can track
every result of every test execution record see the history of every
state, and see all the changes in between. This is vital to any testing
effort, enabling project managers to track testing status, and providing
detailed audit information with no extra preparation required.
