Overview
Start working with global configurations in two days
A two-day course for IBM Engineering users who need to version their data: first the local configurations in each tool, then the global configurations that tie them together across products.
In the exercises you work with components, streams, baselines and change sets in DOORS Next and Test Management, deliver changes between streams and resolve conflicts. Then you link those configurations with Workflow Management and model streams into a global configuration, add your own attributes, tags and link types to global components, and create global baselines. The aim is to move from one project per product to components you can reuse across products and variants.
Day one is configuration management in DOORS Next: components, streams, baselines, change sets, conflicts, comparisons and delivery to other streams. Day two covers the same topics in Test Management, then global components, configurations, baselines, cross component links and personal streams. After two days your team can set up configurations for its own product line and variants.
Global configurations organize engineering data along the logical product breakdown: requirement, design and test streams for each subsystem, based on the OSLC configuration management standard.
