You can configure DTP to generate widgets and reports that help you demonstrate traceability between the requirements stored in Azure DevOps and the test, static analysis, and build review data sent to DTP from Parasoft tools (C/C++test, dotTEST, Jtest).

If you want the Traceability Report to include code review and static analysis information, you must associate your source code files with requirements stored in Azure DevOps. See Associating Requirements with Files for instructions on enabling this optional feature.

DTP interfaces that display and track traceability are enabled by deploying the External System Traceability Report artifact shipped with the Traceability Pack. The Traceability Pack also includes the Sending Test Data to External System flow, which automates part of the requirements traceability workflow. 

Use DTP Extension Designer to deploy the External System Traceability Report and the Sending Test Data to External System flow to your environment. Verify that DTP is connected Azure DevOps as described in the Connecting DTP to Azrue DevOps section before deploying the artifacts.

Installing the Traceability Pack

Deploying the Traceability Report

Deploy the report components to your DTP environment after installing the Traceability Pack. 

1. Open Extension Designer and click on the Services tab.
2. Choose an existing service to deploy the artifact or create a new service in the DTP Workflows category. Refer to Working with Services for additional information on organizing services and artifacts.
   
3. If you are adding the artifact to an existing service, add a new Flow tab (see Working with Flows) and choose Import from the ellipses menu.
4. Choose Local > Flows > Workflows > Traceability Pack > External System Traceability Report and click Import.
   
5. Click inside the Flow tab to drop the nodes into the service and click Deploy. 

Deploying the External System Traceability Report adds new widgets to Report Center, as well as a drill-down report. See Parasoft to Azure DevOps Traceability Reports for instructions on adding the widgets and viewing the report.

Deploying the Sending Test Data to External System Flow

This artifact sends test data to Azure DevOps when DTP Data Collector retrieves test results from a Parasoft tool. This artifact ships with the Traceability Pack, which must be installed as described in Installing the Traceability Pack before deploying the flow. 

1. Open Extension Designer and click on the Services tab.
2. Choose an existing service to deploy the artifact or create a new service in the DTP Workflows category. Refer to Working with Services for additional information on organizing services and artifacts.
3. If you are adding the artifact to an existing service, add a new Flow tab (see Working with Flows) and choose Import from the ellipses menu.
4. Choose Library > Workflows > Traceability Pack > Sending Test Data to External System and click Import.
   
5. Click inside the Flow tab to drop the nodes into the service and click Deploy.
