Abstract

This IDC Vendor Profile is one in a series of IDC documents that examine automated software quality solutions and provide both vendor analysis and customer reference context for technology adoption. This Vendor Profile assesses the ASQ strategy and position of IBM, a vendor targeting a broad spectrum of ASQ, application life-cycle management, and emerging SaaS and service virtualization capabilities of the IBM product portfolio. Here, we discuss IBM's broad range of ASQ and related ALM products. IBM's breadth of and depth of product capability position the company well across several categories of ASQ analysis. We position IBM within this product category and relative to trends in user adoption for the dynamic load testing for ASQ SaaS and cloud, software quality analysis and measurement (SQAM), ERP testing, and enterprise ASQ markets. We do so in the context of an overall economy that remains volatile and demands efficient access to software quality and deployment. We also include summaries of IBM customer references, including a leading steel producer using Rational Quality Manager, Functional Tester, Performance Tester, and AppScan, with plans to bring in Rational Team Concert and Requirements Composer.
