Essentials of IBM Engineering Test Management (ODC8120G-WBT)

Overview

This course introduces test managers to the basics of using Engineering Test Management (ETM) to manage a test effort within a software development project.  IBM Test Management is a key component of the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM), providing quality management capabilities in a fully-integrated environment.
