Lesson 1.5: View requirements in a document

In this lesson you will view a requirement in a Rational RequisitePro requirements document.
Rational® RequisitePro® uses Microsoft Word for creating requirements documents that capture requirements and communicate related development efforts. Each requirements document addresses a particular requirement type, such as product features, use cases, and supplementary specifications. A Rational RequisitePro requirements document differs from a Word document in that you can access requirement attributes and other information directly from within the document.

You can open a requirements document by double-clicking the Word document icon in a project folder; but in this lesson you will navigate from a requirement in the Requirement Explorer view to its location in the document.

To view requirements in a document:

  1. In the Requirement Explorer view, expand the Features and Vision folder.
  2. Expand the Web Shop System folder.
  3. Right-click the requirement FEAT1 Secure payment method and click Select Requirement In > Microsoft Word. Rational RequisitePro opens, the requirements document opens in Microsoft Word and the FEAT1 requirement is selected. Requirement text is marked with Word bookmarks.
  4. While the requirement is selected, click the RequisitePro menu in Word, and then click Properties. The Requirement Properties window is displayed.
  5. To close the window, click OK.
  6. To close the document, click RequisitePro > Document > Close. If you were working with other requirements documents, you would minimize Rational RequisitePro. In this case, close it by clicking File > Exit.
