Rational ClearQuest integration packages

An integration package is one in which an external product integrates with IBM Rational ClearQuest. This section briefly describes each Rational® ClearQuest® integration package.

Note that earlier package versions may create different record types and fields. Some packages are read-only; their functionality cannot be changed.

To view other Rational ClearQuest packages not in this table, see the related links at the end of this topic.

Rational ClearQuest Client for Visual Studio .NET The Rational ClearQuest Client for Visual Studio .NET software enables you to use Rational tools directly in Microsoft® Visual Studio without leaving the integrated development environment (IDE). Rational ClearQuest functions have been added to Microsoft® Visual Studio menus, toolbars, and windows.

See Managing Change in Visual Studio with Rational ClearQuest for more information.

 
CQTM Rational ClearQuestTest Manager is a tool that manages the components of a testing environment:
  • Test plans
  • Test requirements
  • Tests (test scripts)
  • Test results
Test plans identify test cases, that is, the ways in which users are likely to use the product. Test scripts are written to ensure that the requirements for the test cases are met. The results returned when the test scripts run are evaluated to determine project status, in particular, the progress toward completing the work represented by the next milestone in the project. The hierarchical relationship between these files, documents, and data is represented by Rational ClearQuest Test Manager records in a Rational ClearQuest database. The records in the database are organized in a test asset registry hierarchy.
For more information, see the Rational ClearQuest Test Manager help.  
CrossPlatformSCM (CPSCM) The CrossPlatformSCM package is installed with Rational ClearQuest version 2003.06.14 or higher. It lets you use Rational ClearQuest as a single point of control for running coordinated builds and promoting operations across the SCLM and Rational ClearCase code libraries. For more information, see the Rational ClearQuest with CrossPlatformSCM help.

Fields added to enabled record type:
  • Project
Project Tracker

Rational ClearQuest Project Tracker is an add-in to Microsoft Project that integrates Rational ClearQuest functionality.

You can use Project Tracker to export tasks from a Microsoft Project project plan to create new database records in Rational ClearQuest. You can also import records from Rational ClearQuest to create new project plan tasks in Microsoft Project. Records and tasks are linked so that you can synchronize them periodically.

See Using IBM Rational ClearQuest Project Tracker for more information.  
IBM Rational Portfolio Manager Links detailed development activities with planning and tracking:
  • Automates status/state information retrieval from ClearQuest and updates corresponding task actuals in Rational IBM Portfolio Manager.
