Configure Rhapsody DM as an OSLC consumer of Rational Quality Manager

You can integrate the Design Management capabilities of Rational® Rhapsody® with the quality management application, Rational Quality Manager, by configuring the applications to associate quality-related artifacts with design elements and resources.

About this task

You can use this integration to link design resources to test plans, test cases, and other artifacts for quality management. Design resources are linked to quality management artifacts by using the Validated By link type in Design Management. Links to Rational Quality Manager are unidirectional: they are not visible on the server that hosts the quality management application.

Note: Steps 1 through 6 of this task should only be completed if Rhapsody DM and RQM are on separate Jazz™ Team Servers. If they share a Jazz Team Server, they are friended by default, and only steps 7 through 11 should be completed.
