Digital Thread Explorer

(1) See an overview of the Digital Thread Explorer - https://intercax.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SYN36/pages/3330193739

(2) See the tutorial for TestRail integration on Syndeia Web Dashboard - https://intercax.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SYN36/pages/3330195223.

The Digital Thread Explorer for TestRail will show both intra-model relations between TestRail artifacts (e.g. Test Suite, Test Case, Test Run, and Tests), and inter-model relations created using Syndeia, e.g. relations between TestRail artifacts and requirements (Jama Connect or DOORS NG), software modules (GitHub), hardware models (PLM/CAD), or other artifacts in your digital thread.
