Views help you improve your business processes, and speed up your product delivery. Views
collect indexed engineering data from various development lifecycle management applications, and
show you the relationships among artifacts. With views, you can trace changes across engineering
disciplines, explore data associations, or monitor and measure the project status to make the right
business decisions. IBM
Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Engineering Insights (ENI) comes
with a collection of predefined views that you can run as is. Administrators can customize the
predefined views to meet specific environment and project goals, or create views from scratch.
Learning objectives
This tutorial demonstrates how to complete
these tasks:
Create a view.
Assemble a view to trace features to related test cases, test results, and test
environments.
Edit the view to customize it for your team.
Save the view, and run it.
Use the view to focus on a specific testing environment.

Use them as is, with sample data, or with indexed artifacts from across your lifecycle management applications. You can also modify the predefined views to show artifact relationships that are relevant for your project.Related tasksUsing Engineering Insights viewsViews help you visualize artifacts from various project lifecycle management applications (requirements, design models, work items, change requests, test artifacts, and so on), and explore the relationships among them. Use predefined views, or views that are customized by your administrator.Creating a Engineering Insights viewViews give teams insight into data from various development lifecycle management applications, and show relationships among artifacts. The artifacts can be requirements, test plans, test cases, change requests, work items, or other indexed information. Use artifacts as building blocks to create the views that you need and custom artifact elements to include design models in your views.Changing how nodes display in viewsWhen you edit views, you can change the appearance of the nodes in the view containers. For example, you can modify the node title, highlight artifacts that meet specific conditions, or change the appearance of the Count node in the view container.Related informationIntroduction: Working with viewsIn this tutorial, you learn how to create a view to help your team trace relationships among features, test cases, test results, and test environments. You learn how to use artifacts as building blocks to create the view. You customize the view, and share it with your team, so that team members can run the view. As a team member, you run the view, and to explore artifacts that are related to a specific test environment, you run dependency analysis.
