Great defect management tool for waterfall projects
IBM ClearQuest was used as our defect management tool across the organization. It gives capabilities to query the data with multiple filters. The defect life cycle is clearly defined and you can assign defects to various projects. For project managers and Test Engineers, this tool comes in as a very handy tool to track project health.
- 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

ReqPro - a great tool for requirements management in the enterprise
IBM Rational RequisitePro is leveraged as the Requirements Repository as well as the sole source for tracking User Stories and related Artifacts. Business Partners enter the user stories into the system, and then the are cataloged and go through our Agile Sprints and track through Quality Assurance. This allows everyone to have a real time view of requirements and how items are moving to production.
- 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
We have many projects simultaneously. Project management is vital in our industry, and within this, we want to have well-drawn artifacts. From the conception stage, it is important to evolve the software requirements, and that is where RequisitePro becomes important in the management of the project and the team in terms of the visibility of documents.
- 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
IBM ClearQuest was a client provided software for our project as per the agreements. It was used in several other projects too on the client side but not across the whole organization. The decision to use IBM Clear Quest was done by the client project heads considering various parameters like budget, project size, and our input on the best software in the market for managing workflow through our past experience with the products.
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.

Great Tool
IBM ClearQuest plays vital role in my previous organization. It is used throughout the IT section of the organization. We used ClearQuest for capturing signatures of the project team on various documentation required during the project lifecycle. Also change requests and defect management was mainly handled through ClearQuest tool only. I would say ClearQuest is one of the strongest tools in our organization.
- 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 the tool we use for the software development life cycle workflow for the legacy products at our organization. We are tracking features, issues and bugs while integrated with source control via a connection to IBM Rational ClearCase. ClearQuest is used across the enterprise, but the latest release of our flagship product utilizes Team Foundation Server for application life cycle management.
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.
