Using integrations for Collaborative Lifecycle Management
You can use Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) integrations with products based on Jazz technology, including IBM Rational Team Concert, IBM Rational Quality Manager, and IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation, to connect the work of all team members. Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations with Rational® ClearQuest® Web are also referred to as the Rational® ClearQuest® Bridge.
Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations provide a common approach to artifact linking, dashboards, security, and user interface frameworks. Cross-product links support traceability, web-like navigation, commenting, and status tracking across project repositories.
- Link to existing artifacts across repositories in integrated products; for example, Rational® ClearQuest® records are linked to work items, test cases, and requirements.
- Hover over links to quickly check that status of associated work; for example testers can monitor the status of a defect that they reported to the development team.
- Add a widget to a dashboard to report query results from associated projects; for example, you can display requirements that have not been assigned test plans.
- Add comments to any artifact in an integrated repository.
By using the Rational® ClearQuest® Web client in Rational® ClearQuest® versions 7.1.2 and later, you can add, view, and traverse artifact links. In versions of Rational® ClearQuest® earlier than 7.1.2, you can view and traverse links, but you cannot add new links.
