Where do i find Testcase, usecase information in RTC

Hi All,

I am new to RTC and RQM. we are currently using DB2 database, i heard that both RTC and RQM uses common database ie DB2 in our case.
I also know that whenever there is defect raised in RQM it can also be viewed at RTC under work items section, which is great.

Similary can i also view Testcases, Usecase in RTC. If so Where ?

Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks in Advance.

Cheers,
Jay.

You need to distinguish the "repository" from the underlying DBMS (e.g.
DB2). Although you can use a common DBMS for both RTC and RQM, you
cannot (currently) store RTC and RQM data in the same repository.

But there are a variety of integrations between the RTC and RQM
repository. For example, you can create links between test cases in RQM
and work items in RTC, and then navigate back and forth between them in
the WebUI. Another integration is where you can declare that you want
your RQM work items to be stored in a specified RTC repository. In that
case, your RQM work items are really RTC work items, so you of course
can see them in that RTC repository. But test cases are always stored
in the RQM repository, so they cannot view them "in the RTC repository".
But if you are looking at an RTC work item, you can traverse the test
case links, to see the RQM test case.

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the info.
1) But there are a variety of integrations between the RTC and RQM
repository. For example, you can create links between test cases in RQM
and work items in RTC, and then navigate back and forth between them in
the WebUI.
How do i achieve this ?

The reason why i am looking at this is i am interested in creating a tracebulity report which would contain Testcas mapped with Status of the testcase mapped with Defect ID.
eg:
Testcase 1 - Fail - Defect id 001
Testcase 2 - Pass - Defect id 002
Testcase 3 - Fail - Defect id 003

I want to see a report for this or i would like to have query defined and i would like to navigate back and forth from testcase to defect or status of the test case

Please provide me how do i achieve this.

Cheers,
Jay.
