OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM)

Integrate IBM ETM with IBM DOORS or DOORS NG Bi-directionally

Ensure end-to-end traceability throughout the product lifecycle, in real time.

Integrate IBM ETM with IBM DOORS

Trusted by the world’s leading enterprises

Why should you integrate IBM ETM with IBM DOORS / DOORS NG?

The Power of Integrated Requirements and Quality Assurance (QA)

When product and QA teams work together seamlessly, projects succeed. By integrating IBM ETM with IBM DOORS/DOORS NG, product and QA teams collaborate from a unified platform, fostering cross-functional collaboration to ensure alignment on project goals, requirements, and testing outcomes.

Leverage real-time data sync to establish a single source of truth, enhancing traceability, compliance, and change management. This bidirectional integration enables end-to-end traceability across the product lifecycle, providing all stakeholders with visibility into project progress and ensuring that requirements are linked to corresponding test cases and outcomes.

With IBM ETM+ IBM DOORS/DOORS NG integration, teams can

Integrate IBM ETM with IBM DOORS

Common integration approaches: what makes OIM better

OpsHub Integration Manager is the industry’s leading choice for enterprise-grade data integration between IBM ETM and IBM DOORS / DOORS NG. OIM is a powerful data integration platform, supporting 60+ ALM and DevOps systems. The platform also supports seamless integration for home-grown or custom connectors.

Scalable Integration Data Fidelity Low Maintenance Cost

Script-Based
(Build your own sync tool)

Heavily relies on custom scripts which is time-consuming & error-prone to manage at scale

Heavy scripting is needed to minimize information gaps for each information type i.e. comments, embedded content, data movement, attachments etc.

High implementation & maintenance cost. Needs dedicated tech resource for script maintenance

Workflow Automation(Similar to script-based, but
with GUI)

Relies on drag & drop pre-made triggers and connectors. Needs scripting for custom integration

Requires sync admin to script for conflict and system recovery management

High maintenance cost as sync admin is essentially scripting integration in each workflow.

Plugin based(Sync add-on installed in end points)

Slows down the system by adding to processing required and consuming same resources as server

Potential for information gaps in complex integration since plugins generally do not handle complex data

High to medium maintenance cost because of frequent admin interference due to missed events

OpsHub Integration Manager (Central sync hub with out-of-box sync capabilities)

Incremental data fetching to avoid system overload. GUI-based sync configurations

Out-of-box no-code features to ensure predictable sync taking care of conflicts and system down scenarios

Low maintenance due to self-led & reliable sync capabilities

Steps to integrate IBM ETM and IBM DOORS / DOORS NG

01
Step

Set up connections to IBM ETM, IBM DOORS/DOORS NG, and any intermediary product lifecycle tool of your choice.

02
Step

Select projects in IBM ETM and IBM DOORS/DOORS NG to sync with the product lifecycle tool.

03
Step

Select entities to sync between IBM ETM, IBM DOORS/DOORS NG, and the lifecycle tool.

04
Step

Define sync direction and sync filters for each connection to ensure seamless data flow across systems.

05
Step

Map fields for integration across IBM ETM, IBM DOORS/DOORS NG, and the product lifecycle tool.

Common use cases: IBM ETM integration with IBM DOORS/DOORS NG

Use Case:

Integrate IBM DOORS/DOORS NG with IBM ETM to enable seamless traceability and centralized data management through a PLM/ALM tool.

Goal:

Effectively manage change, ensuring traceability and compliance. Streamline workflows and foster better communication across teams.

Scenario:

1. Requirements Creation

The Requirements Engineer creates and manages requirements in (IBM DOORS/ DOORS NG).

2. Requirement Traceability

The Test Engineer references these requirements in ETM to create test cases ensuring that each test case traces back to a specific requirement.

3. Test Case Synchronization to a PLM/ALM Tool

The requirements from DOORS/DOORS NG and test cases from ETM are automatically synced to a PLM /ALM tool of choice, such as Aras, Windchill RV&S, Jira or Jama.

4. PLM/ALM Tool as the Central Repository

The PLM/ALM tool serves as the central hub for synchronized data, linking product lifecycle stages (e.g. design, testing, manufacturing) for end-to-end traceability.

Additional benefits of ETM-IBM DOORS / DOORS NG integration

Streamlined Feedback Loop

Enables testing teams to report issues or request changes that are directly linked to the original requirements, enhancing the responsiveness and coherence of project updates.

Proactive Change Impact Analysis
With the PLM tool as a central repository, automatically identify and assess the impact of requirement changes on related test cases.
Audit Trails and Compliance Efficiency

Become audit ready and enable teams to meet regulatory compliance by retaining a complete, transparent history of requirement changes and testing outcomes.

Why choose ‘Enterprise-grade’ over plugins for IBM ETM- IBM DOORS/ DOORS NG integration

When integrating ETM and DOORS / DOORS NG, it’s crucial to select a solution that can handle the complexities of your business operations. While plugins may seem like a quick and easy option, they often fall short in providing the necessary features, scalability, and reliability for enterprise-level integrations.

Scale Across Huge Teams and Multiple Projects

OIM is designed to handle large volumes of data and complex workflows without sacrificing performance. The platform requires minimal administration and provides detailed documentation + support to ensure your teams extract maximum value.

Real-time Traceability

OIM offers a centralized, easy-to-use dashboard with detailed logging and monitoring features, allowing you to track every interaction and data transfer between IBM ETM and IBM DOORS. This is essential for auditing compliance and ensuring data integrity.

Ensure Rich, Accurate Data Always

With OIM – you not only sync data, but also understand the true context behind your data. It supports syncing links, attachments, comments, mentions, in-line content with history, as well as coming with built-in failure recovery + conflict resolution.

Data Security and Compliance

Integrations are built with OIM security features, including encryption, role-based access controls and compliance with industry standards such as SOC 2. This level of security is critical for protecting sensitive customer data.

Data Integrity and Error Handling

OpsHub’s error handling features enhance the reliability of integration by ensuring that errors are managed smoothly without data loss or system downtime.
