\"Integrating
\nReal-time collaboration between Business Analysts and Quality Assurance team is of utmost importance. An analyst not only needs to define and capture business requirements but also keep track of all the requirements getting implemented, tested, passed and delivered on a regular basis throughout the product lifecycle. A tester also needs to ensure that all requirements have gone through the test cycles and the subsequent defects have been properly identified before the issues are tracked for further corrective actions. Therefore, it is crucial that both the teams communicate with each other; share their tool data across the development lifecycle and get a unified view of how a requirement traverses through the tool sets.<\/p>\n

Business analysts may use IBM Rational Requirements Composer (or some other tool) to define, collect, manage requirements and develop business-driven applications. Testers use HP Quality Center to do automated and manual testing; submit defects and thus manage quality of applications being developed.\u00a0 If the tools are not connected to each other through a common pluggable system, achieving transparency in data flow is not possible. It is important that both the team can view the artifacts and their interrelationships across the toolsets and work on actionable items.<\/p>\n

Kovair Omnibus Integration Platform<\/a> allows full visibility of IBM Rational Requirements Composer Requirements within HP Quality Center Requirements including the Requirements, Folders, Modules and their hierarchies. The Kovair RRC Adapter<\/a> and QC Adapter<\/a> enable bidirectional information exchange between IBM RRC and HP QC\/ALM Requirements via the Omnibus Engine Service. It allows admin users to create customizable business rules to define field mappings and manage integration schedules, rules, and field mappings. The integrity report allows users to validate the field definitions, data types, and workflow business rules. The platform enables a true collaboration between users of IBM Rational and HP Quality Center through its bus-like architecture and thus helps them implement the SOA.<\/p>\n
