Jama Connect Advisor™ — Multi-Statement Analysis

Jama Connect Advisor™ is a cutting-edge tool that uses engineering-based natural language processing (NLP) to help you craft precise, high-quality requirements. It assesses requirements against INCOSE Rules and EARS Notations, offering a quality score and tailored recommendations for improvement.

The latest features take your requirements to the next level:

  • Batch Analysis — Effortlessly analyze multiple requirement statements simultaneously, saving valuable time and streamlining your workflow.
  • Real-Time Feedback and Editing — View recommendations in Document View and implement changes instantly, allowing seamless adjustments while creating or reviewing content.
  • Downloadable Report—The downloadable report allows you to track your progress across multiple sessions. It provides a benchmark of the quality score, helping you continuously improve your written requirements.

Test Management — Improved Test Cycle Management

Previously, users created test cycles from complete groups of test cases in a plan. Now, when you build a cycle, you have the previous functionality with the added opportunity to filter, sort, and individually select cases of interest.

Additionally, when you edit an existing test cycle, you can add or remove test case associations to adjust its scope. Adding case associations generates new runs within the cycle, while removing them deletes the corresponding runs.

Note: Runs that contain data in the "Assigned to" or "Test run" status fields can't be deleted from the edit cycle wizard (the same as previous functionality).

REST API Access Control

The previous REST API access model was restrictive, granting full access to all users or none. To address this, a more sophisticated access control was developed. Implementing this solution allows organizations to assign tailored REST API permissions to individual users and groups, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data and perform critical tasks.

REST API Access Control has a user-friendly interface where admins can quickly add or remove access rights for individual users and groups. Changes take effect immediately, making managing permissions easy and securing the API. This centralized control guarantees comprehensive security and access management.

The new REST API Access Control features include:

  • The Access Control page is located in the Admin area of Jama Connect.
  • Access Control wizard to help configure the desired type of access.
  • Ability to search for groups/users you want to give access.
  • Ability to remove REST API access from groups/users.

Implementation:

Cloud customers must contact Support to enable and configure REST API.

IDP-based OAuth 2.0 

Streamlined User Authentication for Integrations

This new feature allows requests to be sent on behalf of specific users rather than using the integration's credentials. This enhanced integration eliminates the need for users to log into Jama Connect and manually configure credentials, making it ideal for integrations with tools that don't directly rely on Jama Connect.

Key Benefits:

  • Simplified User Experience — No more manual credential setup for users. 
  • Enhanced Security — Improved control over authenticated processes. 
  • Scalability — Well-suited for large-scale integrations where users interact with Jama Connect data indirectly. 

Ideal for:

  • Customers with strict authentication requirements seeking greater control.
  • An organization with large-scale integrations where users access Jama Connect data without direct awareness.

Implementation:
Cloud customers must contact Support to enable IdP-based OAuth 2.0 properties. Currently, the feature is built around Okta.
Note: This feature offers a more secure and streamlined authentication method for integrations, benefiting users and organizations.

Search Performance

The enhancements to the Search Service significantly improve search performance and the user experience. Through query optimization and multithreading, they provide faster search results, reduced resource consumption, and a more responsive system.
