Associating the ClearQuest Database with the Project
A Rational project associates software development information collected from
Rational tools that are installed on your computer. A Rational project points to
development information stored in a database or in a datastore, which consists of one
or more databases. A project administrator creating a Rational project can associate it
with various Rational product datastores, databases, and projects.
After the project administrator associates development assets with a Rational project,
you can link data from one database or datastore to another by using individual
product features.
In this tutorial, you work with:
s
A ClearQuest database that contains the project's change requests (defects and
enhancement requests).
s
A RequisitePro database that contains the project's business and system
requirements.
s
A Rational Test datastore that contains the project's testing information (test
assets, logs, and reports).
s
Rational Rose models that contain the project's visual models.
