Integrate Rational DOORS with Rational Change for collaborative requirements management

Rajeswari Venkata Atmuri (arajeswa@in.ibm.com), System Software Engineer, IBM
Rajeswari Atmuri has been working on Rational Synergy, Rational Change, and their associated integrations for the past five years. The major part of her work in this period has been with various integrations of the two, with tools such as Rational DOORS, Rational Team Concert, Rational Clearcase, Microsoft VisualStudio, HP QualityCenter and Eclipse, which has given her a strong understanding of all of these products.

Summary:  Learn how you can use the IBM® Rational® DOORS® Change Management integration feature in Basic mode to communicate with IBM® Rational® Change collaborative change management software. This article covers the entire process, from configuration, through features for gathering requirements, to the implementation phase of the requirements, all to help you achieve complete traceability of requirements. It is intended for readers who have an intermediate level knowledge of Rational DOORS and Rational Change software.

Prerequisites

You will gain the most from this tutorial if you have intermediate-level knowledge of IBM® Rational® Change, IBM® Rational® DOORS®, and the DOORS change management integration.

  • Rational Change is an integrated Web-based, change management solution that can help increase quality, improve accountability, and provide consistent change management for software delivery.
  • Rational DOORS is a requirements management tool for systems and advanced IT applications. You can use it to gather, track, and manage requirements. It supports OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration) specifications for requirements management, change management, and quality management, thereby providing a generic approach to integrate systems and software lifecycle tools. It also supports OAuth, which is an open protocol that enables users to share their protected resources among different web sites without risking exposure.
  • The Rational DOORS Change Management integration is implemented using OSLC, which works with IBM® Rational Change, IBM® Rational® ClearQuest®, and IBM® Rational® Team Concert software.
  • Rational DOORS Web Access enables users to use a web browser to create, review, edit, and discuss requirements held in a DOORS database.
