Configure Rhapsody DM as an OSLC consumer of Rational DOORS

You can integrate the Design Management capabilities of Rational® Rhapsody® with the requirements management application, Rational DOORS®, by configuring the applications to associate requirements with design elements and resources.

About this task

By integrating Design Management capabilities with Rational DOORS, you can link design artifacts to requirements and other requirements-related artifacts. You can use models to elaborate the design, structure, and relationships between development artifacts. Stakeholders can collaborate on designs and ensure that they are relevant and aligned with business and design requirements.

Design resources are linked to requirements management artifacts in Rational DOORS by using the following link types in Design Management:
  • Refines
  • Satisfies
  • Trace

You can create and view links in both Rational Rhapsody and Rational DOORS. You can view a summary of the linked artifacts or resources by hovering over the links.
