A requirements model (RQM) helps you analyze any kind of written requirements and link them with users and groups who will implement them and with design objects in other models. You can use an RQM to represent any structured document (e.g. functional specification, test plan, business goals, etc.) and import and export hierarchies of requirements as MS Word documents.
Creating an RQM
- To create a new RQM - Select , and choose Requirements Model.
- To create a new RQM by importing a Word document - Select .
The following types of views are available:
- A requirements document view displays a list of written requirements in a hierarchic grid. Multiple views can be created with different filters to display various subsets of requirements.
- A traceability matrix view displays the links between requirements and objects from other types of models, external files or other requirements.
- A user allocation matrix view displays the links between requirements and the users and groups who will fulfill them.
Linking Requirements with Design Objects and External Files
You can link requirements to objects from other types of models, external files, and other requirements on the Requirement Traceability Links tab of the requirement property sheet.
