You can configure and 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.
Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations provide the following
capabilities:
- Link to existing artifacts across repositories in integrated products; for example, 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.
