Testing with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management

HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) can be integrated with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (formerly known as Rational Team Concert). You can manage functional test assets by using the Jazz™ source control management that the Jazz Eclipse Client provides. You must have a compatible version of IBM® Engineering Workflow Management server set up to use the Jazz source control management.

You can use IBM® Engineering Workflow Management to connect to compatible Jazz servers, including IBM® Engineering Workflow Management servers.

Use this feature to do these tasks:

Access IBM® Engineering Workflow Management.
Manage functional test assets by using Jazz source control management.

The client version and server version of IBM® Engineering Workflow Management must match. See the IBM® Engineering Workflow Management information center to learn more about server and client version compatibility. To access Jazz work items, use the Work Items view in the Work Items perspective. To switch to the Work Items perspective, click Window > Open Perspective > Work Items.

To manage functional test assets using IBM® Engineering Workflow Management, you must install IBM® Engineering Workflow Management in the same package group as Test UI.
