  • Collaborative ALM
    • traceability
    • reporting
  • execution result

  • Others?

Minutes:

• Status/refresh on the QM 1.0 specification
  • Finalized in Dec 2009
  • Members of the workgroup have received positive feedback, e.g. "it accomplishes the target scenarios well"
  • Rational Quality Manager 2.0.1 implements the specification
  • Create a wiki page accessible from the QM home page where providers and consumers of the specification can announce their usage of the 1.0 spec and provide feedback
    • Action PaulMcMahan
• Discussed "cross-pollination" among OSLC groups
  • QM participates in the common architecture workgroups
  • There was interest in the newly formed Automation and ALM/PLM workgroups
  • QM workgroup members encouraged to participate in as many OSLC workgroups as possible and to invite other workgroups to participate in QM
• Current QM workgroup makeup
  • IBM and Sogeti are represented in the workgroup
  • The contact from Tieto that participated in the QM workgroup last year is on personal leave. Need to consult with Tieto to determine whether a new contact should be identified.
    • Action ScottFairbrother
  • Workgroup members are encouraged to invite participation from across the industry
  • Start of QM 2.0 specification should be announced on general OSLC mailing list. This should help solicit more participation in the workgroup.
    • Action PaulMcMahan
• Discussed Core specifications
  • The core specifications will take two forms
    • Formal specifications (APIs, resource formats, etc)
    • Recommendations
  • For the QM 2.0 specification we intend to adopt the core specifications to the furthest extent possible
    • Where necessary, the QM 2.0 specification may need to refer to a core spec and describe extensions or refinements
    • Workgroup needs to avoid copy & change approach that was necessary in QM 1.0
    • The scenarios that fall into scope will be the biggest influence wrt how this plays out
  • Adopting the core spec will affect backwards compatibility with the QM 1.0 spec. This issue has been raised with the core specification work group and has been noted in OslcCoreV2Issues
• Candidate scenarios for QM 2.0 specs
  • C/ALM reporting
  • C/ALM traceability
  • Test execution
  • Data pool reuse
  • Workgroup will create a new wiki page for 2.0 scenario discussion
    • Action PaulMcMahan
• Some details of QM V2 spec
  • Would be helpful to set a specific target date
    • Action PaulMcMahan
  • IP Covenant in effect for work provided through OSLC
  • Need to create a page for IP covenant at the beginning of spec effort rather than at the end (lesson learned from 1.0 spec)
    • Action PaulMcMahan
• Meeting logistics
  • Workgroup will usually meet every other week on Weds at 11AM Eastern US time
  • More frequent meetings may be held as necessary
