With the Rational® Adapter
for HP ALM, you can associate requirements artifacts in the Requirements
Management (RM) application in the Rational solution
for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) with test resources in
HP ALM. You can also associate Rational RM
collections or modules with HP ALM requirements.
Then,
you can check that there is an HP ALM test case or requirement for
each Rational requirement
and create any missing items, all from the adapter interface.
Note: RM capabilities that are provided by the RM application in
CLM are licensed as Rational DOORS® Next Generation or IBM® Rational Requirements Composer. Adding or
removing links to HP ALM resources from the Rational DOORS Next
Generation rich client is not supported.
The HP adapter supports the following operations when you are working
with requirements:
Rational Lifecycle Integration
Adapters features support various project configurations and workflows
and can be customized to the needs of your environment. The following
describes a potential workflow for a site that uses Rational requirements management tools and
HP ALM testing tools:
- Create project requirements, which are organized by collection.
- Create test folders for the project in HP ALM.
- Using the adapter, associate requirements collections with the
test plans that verify the requirements.
- Using the adapter, generate test cases for each requirement in
a collection or module.
