You can connect a project in DTP to a project in one of the following requirements/issue tracking systems:

Creating a New Issue

The integration enables you to create issues in the integrated ALM system from violations in the Prioritization panel.
 

  1. Select a violation in the search results area and click the Prioritization tab.
  2. Click Create and specify information about the work item you are creating:

    Project

    The name of the ALM project in which the new issue will be created appears in the Project field. The association between a DTP project and the external ALM project is defined by your DTP administrator. See the following sections for details:

    Type

    Choose the type of item to create from the drop-down menu. Terminology varies across ALMs, but DTP supports the following types of work items by default:

    • For Azure DevOps, Jira, or Codebeamer ALM, choose Bug or Task.
    • For Polarion ALM, choose Issue or Task.
    Summary

    By default, the violation header is used as the value for the issue summary, but you can make any necessary changes.

    DescriptionDetails about the violation, including File, Line, Message, Severity, and so on, are added to the issue description by default, but you can make any additional changes. The description will also include a link back to DTP based on the Display URL field setting in the External Application configuration page.
  3. Click Create.  

An issue will be created in your external system that links back to the violation in DTP. Additionally, a link to the issue will appear in the Prioritization tab, create a bi-directional path between DTP and your external system.

Unlinking a Created Issue

Once an issue has been created, it will be linked to the violation. You can unlink the issue from the violation by clicking the "X" icon beside it.

Only the link will be removed; the issue in the third-party system will not be affected.
