ClearTrace for DOORS: ClearQuest/DOORS Integration
Built with both ClearQuest and DOORS users in mind, ClearTrace™ for DOORS provides a robust, two-way integration between IBM Rational ClearQuest and Telelogic DOORS. If it is combined with Multi-Site capabilities of ClearQuest, ClearTrace provides an effective mechanism to replicate DOORS requirements between development sites, enabling you to manage geographically distributed software development and testing.
- Simple, native access to data from both DOORS and ClearQuest. When local clients for both are present, users can access cross-environment functionality.
- Robust scaleable access to “real world” data volumes which may span multiple databases.
ClearTrace for DOORS has been validated by IBM as Ready for IBM Rational software.
