RALLY Software - TOSCA Testsuite
PRODUC T INFORMATION SHEE T
This Product Information Sheet describes the bidirectional integration between RALLY Software and Tosca Testsuite by TRICENTIS using the agosense.symphony integration platform.
GoalTo achieve an effective collaboration between requirements engineers and developers using RALLY and testers using TOSCA Testsuite, both software tools are linked via the agosense.symphony integration platform. The platform enables customers to synchronize and link requirements/user stories, test cases, defects and more between RALLY and TOSCA Testuite in a completely customizable way. The communication about the different objects or items in the tools is completely automated while users can stay in their domain specific environment without having the need for manual interaction.
The agosense.symphony integration platform ensures that the development process and workflows rules are strictly enforced as well as traceability information is provided where needed - also across the different tools involved.
Example implementationFor the RALLY and TOSCA Testsuite products, we have created a sample synchronization workflow. In this example, User Stories in RALLY are synchronized to TOSCA Testsuite based on rules (i.e. a released set of User Stories or based on a certain status). This in turn enables testers to create directly linked test cases for each User Story in TOSCA Testsuite. After defining the test steps and performing the tests (Execution Lists), the results are pushed back to RALLY, where, in case of failed test executions, defects are automatically created in RALLY. Now developers can fix the defects, fixed defects are propagated back to TOSCA Testsuite where the tests for the updated software can be executed again - until the defects are finally fixed.
The configurationThe synchronization processes between the tools are specifically defined and different functional modules in the agosense.symphony platform enable a more detailed configuration for different projects or departments. I.e. the content of the attributes to be transferred between RALLY Software and TOSCA Testsuite are within the mapping module.
The synchronisation process themselves can be started either by schedules which are defined in the scheduling module or by events within the tools itself that trigger the synchronisation process. Depending on the tools involved, this can be for example status changes, creation of baselines, etc.
The platform also checks whether the data has been changed since the last transfer using an algorithm known as md5 checksum. Only data that has been changed after the last synchronization will be transferred, making the process more efficient. This mechanism also enables to react individually on conflicts and deletions of data records, based on user defined rules.
Figure 1 shows the schematic overview of the integration between the two tools.
Advantages
Automatation

PRODUC T INFORMATION SHEE T
The Synchronisation ProcessThe following screenshots provide a simple overview of the process.
Screenshot 1 shows the RALLY interface with the created requirements (User Stories)
Screenshot 2 shows the successfully synchronised requirements in TOSCA Testsuite. Beside test cases with their steps and the execution list will be created.
Screenshot 3 shows the agosense.symphony reporting module. There is one defect which was synchronized to RALLY.
Screenshot 4 shows the synchronized defect in the quality module of RALLY, where it will be fixed.
ExtensionsIf customers need to integrate additional tools in their environment, agosense.symphony is a perfect fit. All supported tools can be integrated with each other, where data flows can be defined in all directions and between all tools at the same time. Find the current list of supported development tools here: http://www.agosense.com/english/products/platform-und-adapter/agosenseinstruments .Additionally, for large scale or enterprise usage, agosense.symphony offers a lot of features like for example automatic load balancing and fail save operation, multi-tenant capabilities and much more.
