Entities Introduced with the Integration
The following entities are introduced for the View Project Quality integration solution:
The View Project Quality configuration page
This page allows administrators to register ALM instances for PPM to retrieve KPI information and quality matrices from ALM and to display the data on the Project Overview page in PPM.
To access the View Project Quality configuration page, from PPM menu bar, click Open > Administration > Integrations, and then click the View Project Quality tab from the navigation pane.
QC/ALM Release Information field group
The QC/ALM Release Information field group can be added to new or existing request types for creating or modifying projects that are to be linked to ALM releases.
The field group contains the following fields:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
QC/ALM Server |
Retrieved from the ALM server registered on the View Project Quality configuration page. |
|
QC/ALM Domain |
Retrieved from the ALM server registered on the View Project Quality configuration page. |
|
QC/ALM Project |
Retrieved from the registered ALM Server. |
|
QC/ALM Release |
Retrieved from the ALM Project. |
|
SCORECARD URL |
To display ALM scorecard on the Project Overview page in PPM, administrators need to define the scorecard as an analysis item in ALM so that project managers can paste the link into this field. For detailed information about defining the scorecard as an analysis item in ALM, see ALM documentation. |
QC Integration Sync KPI Service
The QC Integration Sync KPI Service synchronizes quality KPI data from ALM to PPM. The default synchronization interval is 24 hours. You can set the synchronization interval on the Schedule Services page.
The QC Integration Sync KPI Service gets all valid ALM server configurations and loops through all configurations to retrieve KPI information from ALM and stores them in PPM database.
If the service found that the quality KPI for current day already exists, it skips the project and continues to process next project.
Only projects that are NOT cancelled, failed, closed, or complete will be synchronized.
For details about KPI data to be retrieved from ALM, see KPI Data Retrieved from ALM.
Four default portlets included in the Project Overview page
After installation of PPM version 24.1-24.3 for newly created project types, the following new portlets are included in the Project Overview page by default and are displayed when there is data in the portlets.
|
Portlet |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Requirement Trends |
Displays requirement status trend in the last 10 days. The requirement status includes requirement coverage. |
|
Open Defect Trends |
Displays open defects trend in the last 10 days. The open defects include open defects number and total defects number. |
|
Priority Defect Trends |
Displays trend of defects of higher severity in the last 10 days. The higher severity defects include defects of priority S1 and S2. |
|
Project Quality Scorecard |
Displays ALM release scorecard information. The scorecard portlet is displayed only when the ALM scorecard information is configured in the project request field of the Project Planning and Tracking (PPT) module in ALM. |
However, if you create a project type by copying from an existing project type created in an earlier version of PPM, you need to manually add the new portlets to the Project Overview page on the Project Overview Layout policy page. For more information, see (Optional) Configure Project Overview Layout.
