  • CollabNet Enterprise Edition: Change Management





    Capabilities
    Features / Benefits
    Defining flexible artifact type definitions
    • Define artifact types and attributes, or use pre-defined artifact types included in CEE ALM templates, such as "Requirement" or "Issue".

    Configuring artifact types at the domain level
    • Configure state models.
    • Configure relationship between attribute options.
    • Configure base permission for user attributes.
    • Configure artifact identifier.
    • Configure duplicate check.
    • Set up dependency rules.
    • Automatically add artifact types to projects.

    Customizing artifact types at the project level
    • Add an artifact type to a project and make changes (such as add, remove, rename, reconfigure, or reorder some of its attributes, options, or dependencies) at the project level without affecting its global definition.

    Managing artifacts
    • Relationships: Flag and track dependencies between artifacts through the artifact entry process or while reviewing artifacts.
    • Change tracking: Track information about the user who made the change, when the change was made, and any comments or attachments to the artifact.
    • Comment editing: Allow any parties interested in the progress of an artifact (e.g. customer support) to view and edit comments.
    • Pre-populate data: Create a frequently used set of data to pre-populate the artifact entry form.
    • Global, project, and individual templates: Make templates available on a global, project, or individual basis. Personal templates can be created by any user and are available only to the creator.
    • User associations: Custom user attributes allow users to track the artifacts they are responsible for or in which they have an interest.

    Searching for artifacts
    • Run ad-hoc (one-time-use) queries or create stored queries for re-use.
    • Queries return lists of artifacts, including a user-specifiable subset of the artifacts' data.
    • Run single-project or cross-project searches by artifact ID, attribute values, created, or last-modified dates. Advanced queries provide many more options, such as filtering on whether a specific attribute changed from a particular value, and allow queries across several artifact types where the filter can include attributes shared by the types.

    Web Services APIs
    • Retrieve artifacts by ID, execute a query, retrieve artifact metadata (the artifact type), and edit an artifact.
    • Build connectors to HP Quality Center and Eclipse via a Mylyn plug-in.
    • Use Project Tracker as a universal artifact hub with lifecycle stakeholders using the Web service to access it from third-party tools (e.g. sales force automation, requirements, or QA tools) and help developers manage issues through to closure.
