This table provides a predefined mapping of common DOORS artifact types and their corresponding Jama Connect item types to ensure correct alignment during ReqIF imports.

2. Best Practices for Mapping DOORS Artifact Types to Jama
✅ Verify the artifact types in the ReqIF file before import.
✅ Ensure Jama has a matching item type for every artifact type in DOORS.
✅ If an artifact type does not have a direct mapping, create a custom item type in Jama.
✅ Use a standardized mapping template for repeatable ReqIF imports.
✅ Validate mappings in a test environment before executing full imports.
3. Handling Custom DOORS Artifact Types
-
If DOORS artifact types do not match standard Jama item types, you can:
-
Map them to an existing item type that fits logically.
-
Create a custom item type in Jama to maintain traceability.
-
Use a generic "Other" category and refine the classification post-import.
-
4. Conclusion
-
DOORS artifact types correspond to Jama item types, with direct mappings for most common artifacts.
-
For unmatched artifact types, custom item types in Jama may be required.
-
Proper mapping ensures that requirements, test cases, and design specifications align correctly in Jama Connect.
