Using TeamConnection with Lotus Notes
The VisualAge TeamConnection Integrated Notes database template provides a
generalized technical documentation facility to support software development. This
section is intended as an overview for Notes Integrated Database users.
The TeamConnection Integrated Notes database links technical documents to the
TeamConnection parts involved in software enhancement and maintenance. Your
software development team can use this database to communicate with
TeamConnection from within Lotus Notes documents. A reconciliation facility is provided
that synchronizes the data in the TeamConnection family with the Notes databases that
use it.
Your team can create software design documentation, project requirements documents,
and test cases using Lotus Notes. Then utilize the integrated tracking and change
control functions TeamConnection provides to identify, organize, manage, and control
software parts as they change over time.
You can associate Notes documents with existing defects and features within
TeamConnection and use the default web browser, defined in Notes, to view additional
details of the TeamConnection defects and features or perform other TeamConnection
actions.
You can also access the TeamConnection client GUI from Notes.
