Reconciling Rational requirements and HP ALM requirements

After you link Rational® requirements collections or modules and HP ALM requirements folders, you can use the Rational Adapter for HP ALM to check whether each Rational requirement has a corresponding HP ALM requirement. You can then automatically generate and link any missing HP ALM requirements. You can repeat this procedure as new requirements are added. To synchronize changes to existing requirements, use the suspect traceability feature.

Procedure

  1. Locate the HP ALM requirements folder that you are working with:
    1. From your Rational requirements management dashboard, select Collections > Browse Collections and hover over the collection you are working with.
    2. From the preview, locate the References grouping in the Links section and click the References link to work with to go the Rational Adapter for HP ALM resource page.
  2. Detailed information about the HP ALM requirements folder you selected is displayed, including a list of links.
  3. Click the twistie next to the link to open a rich representation of the collection.
  4. Click Reconcile. A comparison is made between the requirements in the HP ALM requirements module and requirements from the Rational requirements collection or module. A list of any requirements without corresponding HP ALM requirements is returned.
  5. Select the requirements for which you want to create new requirements and click Reconcile. When a requirement is created, it is given the same title and description as the corresponding Rational requirement and a link between the requirements is also created.
