Both are Test Mangement tools. Rational clearquest is from IBM. Test Director from Mercury. Most of the difference are unknown as features wise they have different features as rarely any company will be using both tools. One differnce is cost wise two product from different company can not have same cost. Mukesh Chauhan Bangalore

RE: what are the difference between rational clearques...

Test Director is by Mercury where as ClearQuest is from IBM. Clear Quest fall in the bucket of IBM Rational Tools.

Clear quest is purely used for Tracking Defects. Some folks also used it for action item /task list. But you need to keep in mind its a defect tracking tool.

Test Director is a Testing tool used for Manual as well as Automated testing. For automated testing you might need win runner and other tools which will run parallel to Test Director. For Manual Testing you do your stuff just like anyother manual testing and in the end TD will generate the report. You can also tracks defects in Test Director. New name for Test director is Test Ceter . You can do more research on it.

mapping

3. Can be used in conjunction with automated tools like Winrunner

4. Serves as a ready made reference for all test scripts even after a resource
