Quality Management to Change Management in JIRA

You can associate Rational quality management artifacts with JIRA issues.

About this task

The Rational Adapter for JIRA can be used to integrate Rational quality management artifacts and JIRA artifacts, useful when working with teams that use both Rational products and JIRA. You can link to a JIRA issue with aTest link, an Affected by link, or a Related tasks link.

The procedure described here is based on the Money that Matters scenarios described in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/MTM_Lifecycle_Scenario. It shows you how to link a test from Rational Quality Manager to a JIRA change request, creating the JIRA link as part of the link process. You can follow these steps using the Money that Matters sample, or adapt them to your own project.

  2. Search for and open the "7. Allocate dividends by amount and frequency" test case.
  3. For the purpose of this use case, you do not need to run an actual test; just generate mock test results. Click the Play icon, and in the window that opens, either accept the defaults settings, or choose some sample settings, and click OK.
  4. In the displayed results, select Partially Blocked from the Actual results menu.
  5. Scroll down to the Defects section of the results, and click the Create New Defect icon, which is the first icon available. You can hover over each icon to see the icon description.
  6. From the dialog box that opens, select your JIRA project from the menu, and click OK. If you are using Internet Explorer, you might be prompted to choose to view only secure content. You must click No.
  7. A new JIRA dialog box opens. (Log in with your JIRA account if prompted.) Provide some sample data in the required fields, and click Create.
  8. Save your test results.
