When you integrate IBM® Rational® Quality Manager with IBM Rational DOORS®,
you can export requirements from Rational DOORS directly
into the Requirements view in a test plan or test case.
After you import requirements
from Rational DOORS,
you can perform these tasks:
- Link from requirements in Rational Quality Manager to
requirements in Rational DOORS.
- Add the requirements from Rational DOORS to
an existing test plan or test case or create a new test plan or test
case and add the requirements to it.
- In Rational Quality Manager,
monitor changes to data in Rational DOORS to
identify test cases that are suspect.
- In Rational DOORS,
view the test details of Rational DOORS objects
that are linked to Rational Quality Manager test
cases.
- In Rational DOORS,
link from Rational DOORS objects
to requirements in test cases and test plans in Rational Quality Manager.
- Run traceability and test reports on Rational DOORS requirements
that are in Rational Quality Manager test
plans and test cases.
Note: When you import requirements
from Rational DOORS,
the requirements are read-only in Rational Quality Manager.
You cannot modify or archive these requirements in Rational Quality Manager.
To modify these requirements, open the requirements in Rational DOORS and
update them. The default synchronization schedule for external requirements
applications and Rational Quality Manager is
set to 20 minutes. The updates you make to the requirements
in Rational DOORS are
visible in Rational Quality Manager after
synchronization.
Refer to the Rational DOORS user
documentation for information about exporting requirements from Rational DOORS to Rational Quality Manager.
