  1. Unifying HW/SW Tracking in IBM Rational ClearQuest (CQ ALM) ByRobert W Myers & Michael Delargy Prepared by Marc Nehme

  2. Concept • To produce a unified solution (IBM Rational ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management (CQ ALM)) that will: • Capture • Host • correlate • Track • Requirement, Defect and Enhancement activities from both Hardware and Software divisions of an organization Hardware Software IBM Rational CQ ALM

  3. Our Goal • To develop a CQ Package to implement a reusable system that will support the combination and correlation of activities for both Hardware and Software divisions Hardware IBM Rational CQ ALM Software *FACT: Currently 5000 IBM engineers in our Systems and Technology division are using a one-off system and have been for almost two years.

  4. How do we implement this? • CQ ALM provides flexibility to support different processes in one CQ ALM • Use configurable field values for Software and Hardware terms • Failure Analysis (FA) record type • One or more FAs can associate with one defect/request • Permissions - each division only sees what they need to see • Hardware engineers only have access to hardware-specific fields and information for a record. They would not see the software-specific information, and vice-versa. Defect Record FA Record HW Parts FA Record

  5. How IBM STG does this Hardware tabs in a ClearQuest defect record Hardware area FA tab The “Routing” section gives breakdown of system

  6. How IBM STG does this Failure Analysis Record 1) Enter “Bar Code” number 2) Click “Process” 3) Retrieves all information from the parts db (FRED)

  7. Applications Operating Systems Firmware Common ClearQuest Fields Hardware Manufacturing How IBM STG does this IBM STG has configured (or is in the process of configuring) CQ to work for HW, FW, OS, and Software Application development. The IBM Rational team is using STG’s ClearQuest Hardware fields and also its Failure Analysis work to serve as a model to facilitate fact gathering from IBM customers. STG Common CQ Architecture 75% Common Data across all of the defined architecture layers 25% Unique Data that is associated with each architecture layer
