(1-6 of 6)Great defect management tool for waterfall projects
- Capability to query bugs on multiple criteria and export it to csv for triages.
- Simple and intuitive user experience and clearly planned defect life cycle
- There are other features like assigning the defect to pull request, clearly explaining defect by attaching screenshots, detailed description etc
- If you are using other IBM tools for requirements documentation, this tool integrates very well
- Lot of defect management tools are out there and are free to use
- In agile world, teams use Jira or other tools and they have the defect tracking capability builtin
- Don't really see the need to use this tool in agile world
Less Appropriate - In this Agile world, everyone uses Jira or some other agile tracking tool. All the agile tracking tools have already built in defect tracking capabilities and can integrate with the work very well. If your project is running on agile or don't use IBM tools that much, then Clear Quest doesn't always add value.
ReqPro - a great tool for requirements management in the enterprise
- Flexibility to customize the repository to meet the needs of your process and business unity
- Compatibility with Microsoft Office tools
- Flexible reporting capability to extract data and report in Excel
- Ability to tie requirements and break them do to trace requirements to implementation
- Performance can be an issue. Make certain the server is sized properly
- There is a large difference in capability of the Thick Client Version compared with the web based version. Make certain each job function has proper access to be able to do what is required of them.
- Learning curve is not too steep, but would suggest having someone with experience setup the repository. Highly suggest getting a contractor to assist to get the repository up and running.
RequistePro for superb requisite management
- Traceability of artifacts, coom requirements, use cases, functionalities, etc.
- Document management and easely MS Office integration
- IBM Rational products integration
- Learning curve, especially if you're not familiar with IBM Rational tools
- Payment product
- SVN Integration
The main business problem that it handled was managing workflow, creating and assigning service/task requests, logging bugs, defect tracking and monitoring, and automatically mailing the assignee and the assigner, a snapshot of the request status whenever an update happens.
- Effective change management, workflow management.
- Bug tracking.
- Integrates with the IBM versioning tool for version management.
- Integrates with IBM rational testcase for achieving an overall test management.
- Creating reports on the task status for managing deadlines and deliverables.
- Does not provide complete test management like HP QC. Although it can be easily integrated with IBM's rational test case manager and versioning tools.
- UI look and feel is good but can be improved in terms of usability.
- Best suited for handling change management.
- Workflow management. Creating and assigning change requests for a particular product/service/business area and managing their workflows.
- Also handles bug tracking.
- It is less appropriate for handling test management on a whole unlike HP Quality Center (HP QC) which is really useful for the testers in our project to integrate their test cases, automation test scripts and linking them with the bugs in a single tool/interface and hence not having to maintain tow different tools for tracking incidents and writing their tests.
Great Tool
- We can create a project in this document and attach all the documentation to get signatures from various team members. This is really helpful for tracking purposes.
- We can create a Project Change Request and get it approved.
- We can log defects of documents and get it resolved from the document owner.
- If you use theweb version, then it's really not good idea to use for sending emails through the tool, as it won't give you the chance to format your email, or modify the receivers list.
- Most of the times people try to sign the WPI record instead of acknowledge it. So the error message should explain to them why they can not sign. People simply gets confused.
IBM Rational ClearQuest is a competent issue tracking tool for our organization. ClearQuest users are able to manage their workflow effectively to assure releases are on time. We are in a highly regulated industry and ClearQuest records track and document all phases of the life cycle providing valuable and detailed information during audits.
- IBM Rational ClearQuest records and workflow are highly customizable. As a result, ClearQuest implementations can be tailored to any organization's methodologies.
- IBM Rational ClearQuest Integration with IBM Rational ClearCase provides traceability between work records and source code changes, expanding the SDLC scope of the toolset.
- Greater and more complex customization requires more administration. Prepare to devote full time resources to maintaining and administering IBM Rational ClearQuest. The greater the customizations and if integrated with ClearCase, the more maintenance will be required.
- At my previous company, our organization's contract with IBM lapsed and they didn't offer "a-la-carte" support. We couldn't obtain support even though we were willing to pay for it.
