DOORS-RQM: Is reconcile Russian Roulette?
![]()
Hello,
I have a very strange behaviour in our DOORS 9.5 - RQM 4.0.5 environment and indeed you sometimes feel like playing Russian Roulette. I have set up up a test plan with assigned DOORS collection container and created test cases for all requirements. Everything works fine and reconcile says "everything is in sync". Perfect! Now I add a new requirement in DOORS to the container/view and expect that the reconcile will show this new requirement. Most times this is working quite well but not always. Yesterday morning reconcile says "everything in sync", and I was really shocked and try to find out what is going on. My idea was to assign the missing requirement directly to a test case, just to see that RQM offers me the requirement. Big surprise: The browser didn't show me all folders and I could not navigate to the target DOORS module. (screen shot 1) Okay, It was not really a big surprise because I did observe this a few times ago but most times after some minutes the missing folder was visible again. In the afternoon I tried it again. Now the missing folder was there, but still a sub-folder was not visible at all (Screen shot 2). Okay, wait again... Today I tried it, and now the missing sub-folder and also the module was visible. (screen shot 3). I did not add the requirement, but first tried to reconcile again. And now reconcile was working and the new requirement was offered. Has anyone similar experiences or even an explanation? thanks, Joerg : ![]() |
