You must ensure that the following prerequisites have been met if you want to use quality gate management:
Quality gate management roles are assigned to the respective users.
Business partners have been created for the quality manager and quality advisory board.
The system landscape is configured in the Transport Management System (TMS). For more information, see Change and Transport System.
The following roles are required to use quality gate management:
Quality manager (QM): A quality manager sets the first status in quality gate management to determine whether a quality gate is passed.
Quality advisory board (QAB): A member of the quality advisory board sets the second status in quality gate management to determine whether a quality gate is passed.
Note
The quality advisory board is a group of team members who are responsible for the quality of the customer system landscape. The members of the quality advisory board can be, for example, the quality managers of a business area, with their manager or IT director. However, the QAB user must be a different user than the QM.
You must ensure that the logical components that you use in scenarios match the system landscape configuration in the transport management system.
Caution
Because transport requests created outside of QGM cannot be identified by QGM as belonging to a scenario, users must not be permitted to create, maintain, or release transport requests or tasks directly in the Transport Organizer. Requests and tasks are therefore always created and released in the QGM application itself, either by a project lead or by the developers themselves.
