Rational Policy Tester Quality Edition

Improve the quality, effectiveness and usability of your website

IBM® Rational® Policy Tester Quality Edition automates the scanning, analysis and reporting of website content for issues that impact site effectiveness and usability. It helps ensure visitors to your site have a smooth, problem-free experience that encourages them to return. It allows you to identify and eradicate problems before your customers even know they exist.

Rational Policy Tester Quality Edition includes these reports:

  • Content defects—locates site defects that directly affect visitor activities such as broken links, spelling errors and broken anchors.
  • Interaction problems—tests user interactions to verify they are working properly. These include interactions that visitors might encounter when using forms or performing transactions such as checkout processes.
  • Page efficiency—provides an analysis of the overall page efficiency of the site such as slow-loading pages, and multiple warnings and redirects. Also analyzes usability issues including deep pages, and missing height and width attributes on images.
  • Search and navigation—analyzes critical search and navigation elements. Verifies that visitors will find what they need within the first three pages of search results, which is the documented tolerance for typical users.
  • Custom—aligns with your organization's internal quality standards. As needed, the IBM professional services team can help you create additional custom reports required by your organization.
