First, let me provide some background information then I will state my problem.

- We are using RTC 2.0.0.2 and RQM 2.0.0.1.
- We use the "Story" work item type to track major chunks of functionality.
- For this work item type we have a custom state ("Ready for Testing") that developers set when they are ready for a story to be tested by the test organization.

Recently we tried to use some of the C/ALM queries in RTC 2.0.0.2 to get visibility between development and test and we hit a problem. When we attempted to create a Dashboard viewlet with the query "Plan Items ready for testing" the viewlet displays the message:

"The state group 'com.ibm.team.rqm.stateGroup.readyForTesting' is not configured. Please set up the mapping in the work item process configuration section 'Change Management Type Binding'"

We are a bit confused about how to do what this error message is telling us to do. Could someone please explain:

1. What this error message actually means (i.e. the rationale behind it), and
2. More specific steps to do what it is telling us to do

Here is what I suspect is happening: We need to somehow make RTC aware that our custom Story state ("Ready for Testing") *means* "ready for testing". Perhaps it's just a matter of changing the state group for this state (currently its state group is "inprogress") but we would like to hear back before making this sort of change.

Thanks!
