Jama Connect is a popular browser-based platform for managing requirements, defects, and manual tests in a software project. Meanwhile, Parasoft testing tools and DTP provide comprehensive automated testing tools that find quality problems and run tests in the software project. You can enhance your project workflow by integrating Jama Connect with Parasoft DTP, which strengthens traceability between two pivotal system elements:
- Jama Connect, which is responsible for the definition of requirements, defects, and tests.
- Parasoft testing tools, which execute automated tests and find defects and violations in your software, plus Parasoft DTP, which is a reporting and analytics dashboard.
Parasoft DTP supports integration with Jama Connect 9.6.x.
Integrating your Parasoft tools with Jama Connect provides the following functionality:
Creating defects in Jama Connect from Parasoft DTP Violations Explorer and Test Explorer views
When Parasoft testing tools detect a static analysis violation or when an automated test failure is reported in DTP, you can effortlessly create a defect report in the integrated Jama Connect directly from the Parasoft DTP interface. See Manually Creating Bugs and Tasks in Jama Connect.
Sending Parasoft tests results to Jama requirements and test definitions
Your software requirements are defined in Jama Connect, while Parasoft tools and DTP are used to test the implementation of these requirements. You can track traceability between these requirements in Jama and test results in Parasoft DTP using traceability reports in Jama Connect by sending test results from Parasoft DTP to Jama Connect. See Sending Test Data to Jama Connect and Viewing Results.
Monitoring Jama Requirements Traceability to Test Results in Parasoft DTP Reports
This use case is similar the previous functionality, where the aim is to monitor traceability from Jama requirements to Parasoft test results. However, the difference lies in the source of the reports. While the previous functionality facilitated reports in Jama Connect, this one utilizes reports in Parasoft DTP. See Parasoft to Jama Connect Traceability Reports.
Configuration
Before you can take advantage of these features, some configuration is required. See Configuring Integration with Jama Connect.
In addition, if you intend to use the Monitoring Jama Requirements Traceability to Test Results in Parasoft DTP Reports functionality mentioned above, there are some additional configurations required. See Configuring Parasoft to Jama Connect Traceability.
