Here’s the refined and joined version of the text, incorporating the specified changes:
Enterprises face challenges during complex verification processes, such as achieving easy access to information, real-time visibility, risk compliance, and better collaboration between teams. Information silos lead to poor visibility and disconnect between product management, quality assurance, and verification teams, which impacts productivity, resulting in poor-quality products and delayed delivery.
Integrating Cadence vManager with IBM DOORS Next Generation (IBM DOORS NG) using OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM) breaks these silos, enhances transparency, and enables cross-system traceability, improved communication between teams, and data-driven risk evaluation and validation. OIM integrates Cadence vManager and IBM DOORS NG bidirectionally, preserving all historical and current data in real-time for each user in their preferred system.
Let’s take a look at the demo. The product team starts by adding a feature requirement in IBM DOORS NG, used by the DRAM team, gives it a content name, and saves it. They then add a description under the same feature requirement and save it. The systems architect reviews the feature requirement and adds verification requirements under it.
Under the first verification requirement, the systems architect adds a content name and saves it. These verifications are tasks for the verification team to perform. The systems architect then adds a second verification requirement, assigns it a content name, and saves it.
In IBM DOORS NG, we now have a feature requirement linked to two verification requirements. Navigating to vManager, the verification team resyncs to view the latest requirements. In vManager, all three requirements added in IBM DOORS NG are visible. The verification team proceeds to add two test cases, one under each verification requirement.
The verification team in vManager begins working on both verification requirements by adding planned test cases back in IBM DOORS NG. The product team refreshes the page to view the recently added planned tests, which are linked to their respective verification requirements.
The product team reviews the test cases and updates one of the verification requirements by modifying its description, changing the status to “Under Review,” and saving the changes. Back in vManager, the verification team resyncs to view the updates made in IBM DOORS NG. They examine the newly added details and status and add another test case, which syncs back to IBM DOORS NG.
The product team refreshes IBM DOORS NG to view the new test case, verifies it, and upon completion, changes the status of the requirements to “Approved,” signaling the verification team to start testing.
This completes phase 1 of the demo, demonstrating effective collaboration between the product team, systems architect, and verification team on requirement definition. Real-time updates reduce the risks associated with test cases based on outdated requirement definitions.
In phase 2, we will showcase similar collaboration during the testing phase to obtain verification results. The systems architect and product team, working in IBM DOORS NG for DRAM in this demo, can view the results and ensure compliance.
Switching to vManager, the verification team starts executing tests and attaching results to all tests. Before proceeding, they map regression sessions to the planned tests. Once mapped, they click on “Grade Analysis,” a feature provided as part of OpsHub vManager Sync solution.
After completing grade analysis, the verification team resyncs to get the results, where they can view coverage and test data. Back in IBM DOORS NG, the product team refreshes the page to see the updated test results, verifies them, and finds them as expected. With no further action required, the product team concludes their part.
We saw how integrating vManager with other tools enables seamless collaboration, ensuring all teams work within their preferred tools while accessing the latest requirements and results.
This concludes the demo. Thanks for watching. Integrating Cadence vManager with other tools using OIM improves organizational productivity by minimizing manual intervention and reducing errors.
