Gartner - Magic Quadrant for Software Test AutomationPublished: 15 November 2016

IBM STRENGTHS•IBM's test automation tools can give many enterprises a jump-start in their continuous testing efforts. They are strongest as an integrated solution, delivering a combination of products and services.•IBM provides automated testing support for many technologies and applications, including legacy systems, client/server applications, packaged applications, and Web and mobile applications. It offers integration across the development and delivery life cycle.•IBM is well-positioned for cloud-based testing and advanced cognitive analysis to aid in adaptive testing and decision making.IBM CAUTIONS•IBM's portfolio is comprehensive and can be perceived as too complex, especially in the early stages of investing in test automation or for simpler testing needs.•While IBM provides a powerful portfolio, it is not optimized for nontechnical users and may require additional services to set up and implement.•IBM supports packaged application testing, but relies on partners for business process analysis and validation.
