Wrap-up

Summary

In this tutorial, you have explored a number of capabilities provided by Rational TestManager to manage your testing progress. However, this tutorial has just touched the surface of Rational TestManager's capabilities. The key benefit of TestManager is that it provides your entire team a central tool to plan, manage, execute, and analyze the progress of testing. Rational TestManager can plan test cases against your application's requirements, allow you to define test cases to validate requirements, then execute manual or automated test scripts and store the results of those test executions. A well-organized testing effort ensures that you have a comprehensive test plan and factual information to make decisions about the fitness for use of your application.
