Common challenges when integrating IBM ETM and Aras

  • Limited synchronization capabilities: Most of the sync solutions don’t support complete landscape of entity types available in Aras and ETM.
  • Resource-Intensive Integration: Intensive point-to-point integration using a plugin model might experience delays due to resource overhead.
  • Error Handling: Detecting and handling errors during data synchronization, such as network failures or API rate limits, requires robust error handling mechanisms.
  • Large Data Slows down ETM and Aras: Large volumes of data and/or frequent sync calls can increase load and hamper performance.
  • Incomplete Synchronization: Test results and steps may not fully sync between IBM ETM and Aras, leading to incomplete records and missing crucial test information. This hinders effective tracking of testing progress and outcomes.

How to integrate IBM ETM & Aras

Points to consider while selecting your approach to integrate IBM ETM & Aras

Scalable Integration Data Fidelity Low Maintenance Cost

Script-Based

(Build your own sync tool)

Heavily relies on custom scripts which is time-consuming & error-prone to manage at scale.

Heavy scripting is needed to minimize information gaps for each information type i.e. comments, embedded content, data movement, attachments etc.

High implementation & maintenance cost. Needs dedicated tech resource for script maintenance.

Workflow Automation

(Similar to script-based, but
with GUI)

Relies on drag & drop pre-made triggers and connectors. Needs scripting for custom integration.

Requires sync admin to script for conflict and system recovery management.

High maintenance cost as sync admin is essentially scripting integration in each workflow.

Plugin-Based

(Sync add-on installed in end points)

Slows down the system by adding to processing required and consuming same resources as server.

Potential for information gaps in complex integration since plugins generally do not handle complex data.

High to medium maintenance cost because of frequent admin interference due to missed events.

OpsHub Integration Manager

(Central sync hub with out-of-box sync capabilities)

Incremental data fetching to avoid system overload. GUI-based sync configurations.

Out-of-box no-code features to ensure predictable sync taking care of conflicts and system down scenarios.

Low maintenance due to self-led & reliable sync capabilities.

Use case: How IBM ETM–Aras integration works

Connecting IBM ETM and Aras through OIM lets teams share information and processes seamlessly. Let’s have a look at how OIM integrates these tools.

Problem statement:

Manual data transfer between their IBM ETM and Aras systems leads to inconsistencies, delays, and reduced productivity.

Solution:

OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM) enables automatic synchronization between Aras Innovator and IBM ETM. The integration establishes a continuous digital thread between product requirements, parts, modules, and the associated tests, providing complete traceability.

  • The product manager defines product requirements in Aras, including attributes, relationships, and dependencies.
  • OpsHub Integration Manager automatically synchronizes requirements from Aras to ETM.
  • The QA engineer creates test cases in ETM based on the synchronized requirements. These Test cases are linked to corresponding requirements for traceability.
  • OpsHub Integration Manager synchronizes test cases and its linkage to requirements from ETM back to Aras.
  • The product manager is able to track the testing status in Aras, ensuring that all requirements are met.

What they said

Success stories of those who tried, experienced, and scaled growth with OpsHub

When it comes to live synchronization, it is something very magical for us because the teams are working on their own ADO team projects and they need to be least worried about whatever updates they make – their epics, features and bugs, they get automatically synced so that management can see the information as a whole organization.
