Your Rational ClearQuest administrator can configure Rational ClearQuest to send e-mail messages to users or user groups to notify them when someone has submitted or modified a change request. This feature is helpful because it immediately alerts you to action on change requests that interest you. You do not need to repeatedly check the status of change requests. For example, your administrator can configure Rational ClearQuest to send e-mail messages to members of the quality engineering team whenever a defect has been fixed. This notification alerts the quality engineering team to verify that the defect has been resolved successfully.
