IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM) is an end-to-end solution for collaborative test management from requirements to delivery. Create and manage test plans, monitor test resources and seamlessly share information across tool boundaries. Leverage IBM ETM for specific manual testing.
A collaborative, web-based quality management solution that covers the full test lifecycle from planning and construction through execution and reporting, fully integrated with the IBM ELM suite.
IBM Engineering Test Management (IBM ETM) is the test management component of the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) suite. It supports test teams of all sizes and all roles in a single, browser-based platform available on-premises or on the cloud. By linking test artifacts directly to requirements, defects, and work items, IBM ETM creates a traceable digital thread across the entire development lifecycle, giving engineering teams in regulated industries the evidence and visibility they need to release with confidence.

Deploy IBM ETM where it fits your organization with no compromise on functionality, security, or integration depth
IBM ETM covers the full test management workflow from structured planning, disciplined execution, to real-time reporting, all within a connected, traceable engineering environment.
Specify requirements, risks, test cases, the test environments, business and quality objectives, test schedules, and other elements. Customize templates and test plan elements as needed for your project. Multiple related test plans can be linked hierarchically.
IBM ETM provides a range of advanced predefined reports to choose from. For example, the Execution Trend Report shows whether the project is on schedule and the Scorecard Report helps you locate potential problems. Other reports show the impact of detected errors on requirements, tester workload, and much more.
IBM ETM includes predefined report formats that are required for certification, e.g. test cases per requirement, test execution per requirement, or visualization of the relationship between test artifacts, requirements, architecture elements, and development artifacts. Adapt the formats according to the specific certification requirements.
Monitor live test execution data. Open a test plan and then open the Execution View for real-time visualization of the current test plan execution data.
Let our seasoned experts support you with the set-up and deployment of IBM ETM with services tailored to your needs such as configuration, special customizations, training, or integration into your development lifecycle environment.
IBM ETM is built for engineering programs where quality is non-negotiable, combining structured process control with the flexibility modern, distributed test teams require.
With IBM ETM you design and deploy test plans in line with your quality objectives. Stay on top of things and run your tests efficiently and focused, in sync with project priorities. Define and manage responsibilities. Save resources through transparency concerning planning and status of execution, as well as through selective involvement of the respective experts.
Gaining approval for a product in a regulated market becomes easier with IBM ETM. A large portion of the documentation required for certification is created automatically with IBM ETM. Save preparation time prior to a certification review and reduce the risk of issues emerging during the approval process.
Gain clarity on the coverage level you can expect from executing your test plans by closing the gap between IBM ETM and other lifecycle tools such as IBM DOORS for requirements management. Coverage reports show precisely to which extent your tests cover the agreed requirements. Risks resulting from incomplete test planning and undetected errors are mitigated.
With IBM ETM you manage all information on test planning and execution in one place. Distributed and interdisciplinary teams can access up-to-date information at any time, review further details or contribute data. All team members and stakeholders will see the latest information in real-time.
Identify idle times, bottlenecks, or assignment conflicts as early as possible thanks to managing in one place all details on test equipment and other resources needed for executing your test plans. Improve utilization of test resources by promptly taking corrective measures to respond to issues detected.
