Viewing the Traceability Report
If the External System Traceability Report has been deployed to your system (see Enabling the Requirements Traceability Report), you can add widgets to your dashboard to monitor traceability from requirements to tests, static analysis, code reviews for your project. The widgets also drill down to a report that includes additional details. In order for DTP widgets and reports to show traceability information between tests and Jama Connect items, the tests must be associated with the Jama Connect items as described in step 2 of the test execution and reporting workflow described above.
DTP traceability widgets and reports will include all items from in the specified Jama Connect project that may be considered requirements except for the following types of Jama Connect entities:
- defects
- test cases
- sets
- folders
- text items
Adding and Configuring the Widgets
The widgets will appear in a separate Traceability category when adding widgets to your DTP dashboard. See Adding Widgets for general instructions on adding widgets.
You can configure the following settings:
| Title | You can enter a new title to replace the default title that appears on the dashboard. |
|---|---|
| Filter | Choose Dashboard Settings to use the dashboard filter or choose a filter from the drop-down menu. See Creating and Managing Filters for additional information about filters. |
| Target Build | This should be set to the build ID you executed the tests and code analysis under. You can use the build specified in the dashboard settings, the latest build, or a specific build from the drop-down menu. Also see Configuring Dashboard Settings. |
| Type | Pie widget only . Choose either a Tests, Violations, or Reviews from the drop-down menu to show a pie chart detailing the status by type. Add instances of the widget configured to each type for a complete overview in your dashboard. |
| Jama Project | Choose a Jama Connect project from the drop-down menu. |
| Jama Set of Requirements | Choose a set of items (e.g., set of requirements) from the selected project. You can choose any set of items in the project except sets of test cases and sets of defects. |
Requirements Widget
This widget shows the number of requirements from the specified Jama Connect project.
Click on the widget to open the Requirement Traceability report.
Test Coverage Widget
This widget shows the percentage of requirements covered by tests against all requirements in the project.
Click the center of the widget to open the main Requirement Traceability report.
The colored-in segment represents the requirements covered by tests. Click on the segment to open the Requirement Traceability report filtered to the With Tests category.
Pie Widget
Unit testing, functional testing, static analysis, and peer reviews are common activities for verifying that requirements have been properly and thoroughly implemented. This widget shows the overall status of the project requirements in the context of those software quality activities. You can add a widget for each type of quality activity (tests, static analysis violations, reviews) to monitor the progress of requirements implementation for the project.
Mouse over a section of the chart to view details about quality activity type status. Click on the widget to open the Requirement Traceability report filtered by the selected type.
Requirements Implementation Status by Tests
Requirements Implementation Status by Violations
Requirements Implementation by Reviews
Understanding the Requirement Traceability Report
The report lists the Jama Connect requirements and data associated with them.
You can perform the following actions:
- Disable or enable the Show files/reviews option if you want to hide the Files and Reviews columns in the report. The Files and Reviews columns will only contain data if the requirements have been mapped to source files files (see Enabling the Requirements Traceability Report). Disabling the Files and Reviews columns on this screen hides the related tabs in the Requirement Details report.
- Click on a link in the Key column to view the tracker in Jama Connect.
- Click on a link in the Summary column or one of the Test columns to view the test-related information associated with the tracker in the Jama Connect Requirement Details Report.
- Click on a link in one of the Files columns to view the static analysis-related information associated with the tracker in the Jama Connect Requirement Details Report.
- Click on a link in one of the Reviews columns to view the change review-related information associated with the tracker in the Jama Connect Requirement Details Report.
Requirement Traceability Report by Type
Clicking on a section of the Jama Connect Requirements - Pie widget opens a version of the report that includes only the quality activity type selected in the widget. You can use the drop-down menus to switch type and status. You can also disable or enable the Show files/reviews option if you want to hide the Files and Reviews columns in the report. The Files and Reviews columns will only contain data if the requirements have been mapped to source files files (see Enabling the Requirements Traceability Report). Disabling the Files and Reviews columns on this screen hides the related tabs in the Requirement Details report.
Understanding the Requirement Details Report
The Jama Connect Requirement Details report provides additional information about the files, static analysis findings, and tests associated with a specific Jama Connect requirement. You can open this report by clicking on a requirement in the Jama Connect Requirement Traceability report.
The first tab shows the results of the tests that were executed to verify the specific work item.
You can click on the View results in Test Explorer link to view all of the tests associated with the work item in the Test Explorer.
You can also click on individual test names in the table to view each test in the Test Explorer.
The second tab shows the files associated with the specific requirement, as well as the static analysis violation detected in the files. You can click the link the Violations column to view the violations in the Violations Explorer, which provides additional details about the violations.
This tab will only contain data if the requirements have been mapped to source files

see Enabling the Requirements Traceability Report). If you did not map requirements to files, you can hide this tab by disabling the Show files/reviews option on the main traceability report page and reloading the details report.
If the files include any change reviews or review findings, they will be shown in the third tab with links to view them in the Change Explorer.
This tab will only contain data if the requirements have been mapped to source files (see Enabling the Requirements Traceability Report). If you did not map requirements to files, you can hide this tab by disabling the Show files/reviews option on the main traceability report page and reloading the details report.
