You can configure DTP to generate widgets and reports that help you demonstrate traceability between the requirements stored in your external system and the test, static analysis, and build review data sent to DTP from Parasoft tools like C/C++test, dotTEST, Jtest, or SOAtest.
DTP interfaces that display and track traceability are enabled by deploying the External System Traceability Report artifact shipped with the Traceability Pack. Refer to the Traceability Pack documentation for additional information about the pack but note that not all of the capabilities of the Traceability Pack are applicable to external systems that are not supported natively by DTP.
Use DTP Extension Designer to deploy the External System Traceability Report.
Installation
This artifact is installed as part of the Parasoft Traceability Pack, which contains a collection of configuration files and assets that enable traceability. To install the Traceability Pack:
Deploying the Traceability Report
You should deploy the report components to your DTP environment after installing the Traceability Pack. To do so:
- Open Extension Designer and click on the Services tab.
- 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.
- 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.
- Choose Local > Flows > Workflows > Traceability Pack > External System Traceability Report and click Import.
- 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 Other External Systems Traceability Reports for instructions on adding the widgets and viewing the report.
