Configuring integrations for Collaborative Lifecycle Management

You can configure and use the Rational® ClearQuest® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) integrations with Rational® ClearQuest® to connect the work of all team members. The Rational® ClearQuest® solution for CLM integrations, which are based on Jazz technology and the open architecture of Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC), include IBM® Rational Team Concert, IBM® Rational® Quality Manager, and IBM® Rational® DOORS® Next Generation. 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.

Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations provide the following capabilities:
  • 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.
