Overview of Defect-Tracking Systems for Users
Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software supports Integrity as the defect-tracking system.
An integrated defect-tracking system in Windchill and Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software is referred to as a DTS adapter. These adapters are set up and managed by Windchill Site and Organization administrators.
Project Managers
Project managers can access project, product, and libraries within the Windchill site and organization levels to manage DTS adapters when those adapters are integrated with Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software.
Project managers can create an attribute map between defect-tracking systems such as Integrity Defects.
Integrated DTS adapters can share and associate external data with Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software as a link to external content, or as a Windchill object copied from an external system.
Software Managers and Developers
Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software provides an integrated environment to manage local and remote defects for Integrity Defects adapters.
Software managers and developers can:
• Create a defect based on a remote defect residing in a defect-tracking system. Associate the defect with the remote defect.
• Create a defect and a remote defect by connecting to a defect-tracking system. Associate the defect and the remote defect.
• Create a Windchill defect without any association to a remote defect.
• Edit a defect after it is created.
• Set the lifecycle state of a defect.
Users
Other Windchill users can browse, select, and change existing context associations that Site and Organization administrators have set up for DTS adapters.
