Is there a Schema for DOORS Nex t + Quality Manager?
Trying to understand the expected relationships and entities across DOORS Next and Quality Manager which defines the relationships and properties and can therefore be used as a guide for constructing views, queries and reports in Report Builder?
Whilst I've seen some of the OSLC metamodel there is no integrated model (it's split into domains and mostly these are text-based) and therefore don't cover relationships between domains but I need to understand how IBM have implemented it (and what other relationships exist that come with the tool).
One answer
In most cases, links across domains in ELM are those defined by OSLC. The relationship between requirements and test artifacts is essentially "validates/validated-by"; a test case validates a requirement, a test plan validates a requirement collection/module.
When you click "add a relationship" in Report Builder, it should list all possible relationships grouped by relationship, so for a requirement, you should see a QM Test Case heading with a validated-by entry beneath it. You can also add columns to views in DNG and ETM (renamed RQM) to show those relationships, and in DNG, you can filter by "lifecycle status".
These Knowledge Centre topics describe the test-requirements linking:
There is a broader table of ELM cross-domain links in this wiki article, although it needs updating to clarify RMM vs DM (mostly the same relationship) - and the article itself is focused on a different topic.
Hope that helps.
