Where it is Documented |
Rational TestManager- Rational Administrator |
Use Rational Administrator to create and manage Rational projects. A Rational project stores software testing and development information. When you work with TestManager, the information you create is stored in Rational projects. When you associate a RequisitePro project with a Rational project using the Administrator, the RequisitePro requirements appear automatically in the Test Inputs window of TestManager. |

TestManager- Rational ClearQuest |
Use ClearQuest with TestManager to track and manage defects and change requests throughout the development process. With TestManager, you can submit defects directly from a test log in ClearQuest. TestManager automatically fills in some of the fields in the ClearQuest defect form with information from the test log and automatically records the defect ID from ClearQuest in the test log. |

TestManager- Rational Rational Unified Change Management (UCM) |
Use UCM with TestManager to:
- Archive test artifacts such as test cases, test scripts, test suites, and test plans.
- Maintain an auditable and repeatable history of your test assets.
- Create baselines of your test projects.
- Manage changes to test assets stored in the Rational Test datastore.

TestManager- Rational RequisitePro |
Use RequisitePro to reference requirements from TestManager so that you can ensure traceability between your project requirements and test assets. Use requirements in RequisitePro as test inputs in a test plan in TestManager so that you can ensure that you are testing all the agreed-upon requirements. |

TestManager- Rational Robot |
Use TestManager with Robot to develop automated test scripts for functional testing and performance testing. Use Robot to:
- Perform full functional testing. Record test scripts that navigate through your application and test the state of objects through verification points.
- Perform full performance testing. Record test scripts that help you determine whether a system is performing within user-defined response-time standards under varying workloads.
- Test applications developed with IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) such as Java, HTML, Visual Basic, Oracle Forms, Delphi, and PowerBuilder. You can test objects even if they are not visible in the application's interface.
- Collect diagnostic information about an application during test script playback. Robot is integrated with Rational Purify, Rational Quantify, and Rational PureCoverage. You can play back test scripts under a diagnostic tool and see the results in the test log in TestManager.

TestManager- Rational Rose |
Use as test inputs in TestManager. A test input can be anything that you want to test. Test inputs are defined in the planning phase of testing. You can use TestManager to create an association between a Rose model (called a test input in TestManager) and a test case. You can then create a test script to ensure that the test input is met. In TestManager, you can view the test input (the Rose model element) associated with the test case. |

TestManager- Rational SoDA |
Use SoDA to create reports that extract information from one or more tools in Rational Suite. For example, you can use SoDA to retrieve information from different information sources, such as TestManager, to create documents or reports. |

TestManager- Rational Unified Process (RUP) |
Use Extended Help to display RUP tool mentors for TestManager. RUP tool mentors provide practical guidance on how to perform specific process activities using TestManager and other Rational testing tools. Start Extended Help from the TestManager Help menu. |
