Libraries Overview

In the Libraries module, you define a hierarchical libraries tree to create and manage your libraries. A library represents a set of entities in a project and the relationships between them. The entities in a library can include requirements, tests, test resources, and business components.

After you create a library, you can create a baseline to keep track of changes made to your project over time. A baseline is a snapshot of the library at a specific point in time. You can compare baselines at all stages of the application development lifecycle.

Viewing baseline history enables you to track changes made to individual entities in your library over time. As development continues, you can view and compare all versions of an entity that are stored in a baseline.

You can also import a library. Importing a library enables you to reuse and share an existing set of entities. As development continues, you can compare and synchronize libraries. For details, see Imported Libraries Overview.

Editions: Imported library functionality is available for the ALM edition and OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Edition only. For information about editions and their functionality, seeEditions and lifecycle. To find out which edition you are using, ask your site administrator.

Creating and managing libraries and baselines requires appropriate user permissions. For details, refer to the the help: .
