Using the Release Impact Analysis view

Use the Release Impact Analysis view to see information about changes that are summarized by type, application, and initiative.

Before you begin

Create or import changes. For information about importing changes from JIRA, see Integrating with JIRA. For information about importing changes from Rational Team Concert™, see Rational Team Concert Integration.

Procedure

Open to the Release Impact Analysis view for the release to analyze:
1. Click Releases & Deployments and then click the release.
2. On the view for the selected release, go to the Impact Analysis tab. The Release Impact Analysis view shows changes that are organized by application and initiative. The rows represent applications and the columns represent initiatives. The color-coded cells show the number of changes for that application and initiative. Cell colors show the overall status for the changes that a cell represents. Cell colors correspond to the color scale. Cells with a larger percentage of accepted changes are greener than cells with a smaller percentage. Each color represents a range of percentages. The middle color, for example, represents a range of 45% - 55%.
  Note: Initiatives and applications with changes are shown even if they are not part of the selected release. Initiatives and applications without changes are not shown.
.
To show only cells with a specific percentage of accepted changes, hover the mouse over the status on the color scale. The following figure, for example, shows the mouse over the middle color in the scale, which represents cells with 45% - 55% of accepted changes. When the mouse is over the color scale, only cells with the selected status are highlighted; other color-coded statuses are not displayed.
To see individual change counts, hover the mouse over a cell. The hover help shows the number of changes in the cell for each status. The statuses are the same ones that are available when changes are created or edited. In addition, the corresponding status color is identified on the color scale, as shown in the following figure.
To see details about the changes that a cell represents, click the cell. When you click a cell, a table that contains information about the changes is shown. In the following figure, the cell is identified by application and initiative, and the three changes are shown on separate rows. The displayed information is the same as the information that was defined when the changes were created or last edited.
To show only certain types of changes, use the Filters box to select the change types that you want to see. For example, the following figure shows the Release Impact Analysis view that is filtered to show bug-type changes. By default, all change types are checked.
