• IBM Rational ClearQuest (Defect Management)
  With the V1 ClearQuest integration, defects collected in ClearQuest can be imported into VersionOne for planning and tracking within an iteration/sprint. When an imported defect has been closed, the original record in ClearQuest is updated to reflect the completion.
