EA integration with HP ALM for requirements and use cases

[tomeggi]

I'm using EA for modelling requirements and use cases. Use cases are described as structured specification which can be used as test case too. Now I'm looking for an integration with HP ALM to export the EA uses cases into HP ALM test cases. Does anyone know an appropriate add-on? Another option could be to export structured use case specification into CSV, but this option seems not to exist in EA.

What type of input does HP ALM accept?

In any case, you can create your own csv export using a (rather complicated) SQL query, or probably easier with a script that reads the use case scenario's.

Hi,

As well as the hand coded approaches mentioned by Geert, there are a couple of commercial products that provide a data exchange between EA and HP ALM, see:

There are others ... however my experience is that they are all costly - but good in a corporate env where total cost of ownership is important...

Have you considered speaking with Michael Roberts about integrating MapGRUE into IFDB somehow?

Well, CONSIDER IT

What does this mean?

Thx so far for your comments. But they don't bring me further. What I am looking for is either

- a similar way to integrate EA use cases and requirements like EnterpriseTester (see http://catchsoftware.com/Enterprise-Tester) provides or
- a similiar way to export structured use case specification in a CSV format

To export the structured use case specs you need to write your own script. Consider the CSV exporter that comes with EAScriptLib or Geert's CSV exporter. Both need to be adapted. It's probably not too difficult, but definitely needs some tweaking. There's nothing out of the box (AFAIK).
