Rational ClearQuest Test Manager migration overview

Rational® ClearQuest® Test Manager is a feature of Rational ClearQuest that allows users to perform test planning and test execution. This feature relies on the ClearQuest framework for querying, reporting and storage. Test assets are stored in a database with access to the data through the ClearQuest Application Programming Interface.

The migration process requires that you add new migration plugins to the existing ClearQuest Eclipse client. These new plugins add an RQM Export function to the client. The RQM Export function starts an Export wizard in which you select the test assets to be migrated and the destination of that migration.

With this migration, data flows in XML fragments via HTTP from the ClearQuest client to the Rational Quality Manager server, as shown in the following figure:

CQTM to RQM migration
Note: If your Rational ClearQuest Test Manager projects are integrated with test scripts from Rational Manual Tester, you must migrate your manual test scripts before migrating your Rational ClearQuest Test Manager projects.

The following Rational ClearQuest Test Manager asset types can be migrated to Quality Manager:
