RationaleRationale

In ClearQuest, a change request’s lifecycle is described via state machines, which is defined by the state transition matrix. Programming these matrices is an administrative task, which is based on some specification The specification is written by an analyst, usually using two types of charts that describe a process – State-charts and Activity-charts. These charts are handed over to the administrator, who plots them to ClearQuest. This approach has several obvious deficiencies:

There’s an excessive link in the chain: the administratorErrors can frequently occur when transferring the diagramsCorrecting the diagram entails manual reprogramming of the ClearQuest state transition matrix


DescriptionDescription

The purpose of this application is to ease the process of programming ClearQuest Designer's state transitions matrix for change requests

UML2ClearQuest can export UML state charts to ClearQuest Designer, which makes for a simple visual design process


Description - 2Description - 2

UML2ClearQuest enables for automatic state chart transformations to ClearQuest Designer’s state transition matrix for a certain entity (change request) and is distributed in two flavors, for different platforms:

As a plug-in for IBM Rational Software Architect

As an external application, which takes UML diagrams (in Visio & StarUML format), and converts them to ClearQuest’s state machine.


UML2ClearQuestUML2ClearQuest. Features. Features

Supports UML 2.1 and up

Analyze state chart syntax for ClearQuest state machine compatibility

UML diagrams can be transferred to new entities in a ClearQuest schema, or existing entities can be modified based on the UML

A ClearQuest-style preview of the transition matrix is available for checking the end-results

Code style independency

Multilanguage support

Import and visualize state charts from ClearQuest – reverse-engineering is employed to correct an already existing lifecycle with the visual convenience of UML

Programming ClearQuest transition matrices based on activity diagrams, with required field detection and access rights configuration according to groups and role policy depending on the state and action.

Step 1. Construct UML diagrammStep 1. Construct UML diagramm

A diagram is first constructed in Visio, StarUML or RSA. The diagram's type should be State chart

Step 2. Load UML diagram into UML2ClearQuestStep 2. Load UML diagram into UML2ClearQuest

UML2ClearQuest reads the Visio file and locates all the State Chart diagrams

The basis of UML2ClearQuest is syntactic analysis of UML diagrams for ClearQuest state machine compliancy (since not all UML state charts can be translated to ClearQuest)

A connection to ClearQuest must be available, and at this stage you choose the entity to which the export is being made. If the entity does not yet exist, it will be created.


Step 3. View result. ClearQuest DesignerStep 3. View result. ClearQuest Designer

The result of UML2ClearQuest is a configured state transition matrix in ClearQuest Designer.UML2ClearQuest automatically creates all the necessary states and actions between them. All that's left to do is define the fields' behaviour and access policy
