Testing IBM Manual Tester
----------------------------

General Comments
The test went well, the application installas easily but is quite difficult to get a handle on. There are plenty of help files but to use this I imagine the user would have to have experience or training. It is however quite a useful testing application once you get a handle on it.

Good features
o The ability to mark test cases with type definitions. These type definitions allocate them as reporting stages, validation stages or just steps. Test bed could allocate type definitions and then allocate custom fields to type definitions.
o Configurable result fields for each test step ( A very good idea )

Bad Features
o File saving, all the tests appear to be done in files and have no central repository.
o Links that go n o where
o Not user friendly interface.

Conclusion
I would not recommend this software if I were evaluating it for use due to the bad features. However some of the good features will be very useful in Test Bed.
