At the same time, users can also benefit of a fair in price RM&E tool and guarantee an efficient data sharing between applications along the life cycle.
Our integrations allow users support their specific needs through a complete and integrated chain of tools.
Additionally to the integrations with ALM tools, IRQA completes its portfolio providing integrations with other tools such as User Management (LDAP, Active Directory, etc.), Software Configuration Management, and others.
Requirements Management & Engineering tools
The new market trends indicate the need of the companies to be able to exchange information between different Requirements Management tools.
The IRQA eXchange process allows users to:
In order to achieve an integrated software development lifecycle, the integration with Software Design tools must allow a seamless traceability between requirements and design artifacts created in the different design tools.
Even though acceptance tests can be defined inside IRQA, if users are using a Test tool for this purpose, these integrations allow to synchronize requirements, tests, attributes and relationships between IRQA and the Test tool, to be able to track elements through the lifecycle.
Change Management & Workflow tools
Companies can integrate different management process i.e. assignment of elements to teams, Defect and Issue Management, carried out in these tools with the Requirements Management & Engineering process. This integration allows to export the IRQA elements, and keep them updated with the workflow information inside IRQA.
Software Configuration Management tools
One key activity in Requirements Management, is to be able to add or link external information to a requirement's definition. Sometimes, this information cannot be included inside the requirement's description and must be kept under Configuration Management. This integration allows linking specific requirements to one or a set of files managed inside a Software Configuration Management tool.
As part of the development lifecycle, Project Management tools play a key role. This integration allows to import/export the elements in IRQA, and keep an updated record of the project management information inside IRQA.
User Management tools
Apart of the integrations with other ALM tools, it is necessary to provide them with management tools that will definitively help in the deployment of the tools in the company. These integrations allow to use the User information from the User Management System in IRQA.
Users can build propietary integrations fast and easily through IRQAFace, IRQA's API. This API allows users to interact with the information in the repository to input or output information through either COM languages or Java.
