Verifying the Rational Requirements Composer Requirements integration (optional)

If you defined a Rational® Requirements Composer server, verify if the integration is working properly.

About this task

You verify if the Rational Requirements Composer integration is working.

Procedure

Check Rational Requirements Composer

  1. Go to the Rational Requirements Composer project that you pushed the blueprint data to.
  2. Confirm that a requirement exists for expected SAP artifacts. If you are using the default mapping, business requirements on the Transfer to IBM Rational project tab in Solution Manager map to requirements in Rational Requirements Composer.
  3. If you created Rational Requirements Composer requirements from SAP business requirements or SAP documents, load a requirement and validate that the specified by link takes you to the corresponding artifact in Solution Manager. The specified by link is located towards the lower right links section of the Rational Requirements Composer requirement page.

Check Rational Quality Manager

  1. If Rational Requirements Composer is linked to a Rational Quality Manager project, two more linkages often occur.
    • Rational Quality Manager test plans link to Rational Requirements Composer test plan collections
    • Rational Quality Manager test cases potentially link to Rational Requirements Composer requirements

    The test case to requirement linkage occurs only if artifacts are linked together in Solution Manager. For example, if a business requirement is linked to a test object in Solution Manager, the corresponding Rational Quality Manager test case is linked to the Rational Requirements Composer requirement if the blueprint mapping is appropriately set.

  2. To validate that the linkages are working, push a blueprint from Solution Manager into a Rational Connector project that is associated to a Rational Quality Manager and Rational Requirements Composer project.
  3. Locate the master test plan. This test plan has the same name as the Solution Manager blueprint. Click the test plan to load it.
  4. Go to the Requirement Collection Links section.
  5. Click the test plan collection. Validate that a test plan collection that contains all requirements from the blueprint push is listed.
  6. Validate that a link back to the Rational Quality Manager test plan exists in the lower right corner of the links section.

    Assuming that test objects and business requirements are linked in Solution Manager and that the default blueprint mapping is used, repeat the link validations but this time for Rational Quality Manager test cases and Rational Requirements Composer requirements.
