How do I set a RQM Requirements Collections link to a DOORs baseline?

Hi Barb,

I have asked our RQM/DOORs integration expert to reply to this post when she returns from vacation.

Hi all,

Any updates on this topic? Current setup: RQM 5.0.2 & DOORS 9.5.2.

We would like to link RQM test cases to baselined requirements in DOORS. Our current workflow specifies that Rqmts Mgmt team is ahead of V&V team just by one baseline. To the best of our knowledge, this is possible if doing everything in DOORS.

And with RQM and DOORS?

Thanks and kind regards,
Oskar

This does not seem possible. When you try to link an RQM TC to a DOORS req, It appears the requirements that RQM gets from the DOORS module are from the current version. There is no option to display requirements from a baseline.

The only alternative I see is to copy the baseline into a new module (File > Baseline > Copy...) and then link the RQM test cases to this new module. But of course you would have to make sure users don't edit this module since it's intention is to be a baseline copy and a baseline is considered a read-only snapshot of the module from a certain moment in time.

I've confirmed with the RQM/DOORs integration expert that this is not supported since DOORS baseline data is not exposed via OSLC (either API or UI) and DOORS baseline data is immutable and cannot be updated.

Thanks for the update. Just for information purposes, we've seen this request coming from two different customers recently. They are traditional DOORS users and they're evaluating RQM for Test Management.
