The scenario I have is this...
![]() What I need to do is ripple the suspect link indication down to the Test Procedure Module, such that if a change occurs in the PRS module then not only would an indicator flag be shown in the Clarification Module but all modules in the chain. This would help me in deciding if a given test is good and consistent with its top level source requirement. Any ideas ? |

Don't know about suspect links, but your post aroused some hackles. Consider the following...
[1] Tests that verify the top level requirement should be linked to that top level requirement, not to the detailed requirements down the decomposition chain. If a test (for whatever reason) tests both lower-level AND top-level requirements, then it should be linked to both ..err.. all. [2] If a top-level requirement change does NOT trigger a changed to a linked lower-level requirement, then the test for that lower-level requirement should remain intact. [3] Changing a top-level requirement should trigger consideration for changes for the linked mid-level requirements (via suspect links if you want). If a particular mid-level requirement does not change then the chances that its linked lower-level requirements changes is very small. If you suspect that they MAY change, then you can tweak some attribute of the mid-level object in order to trigger your suspect-links strategy to bring your attention to the lower-level requirements. [4] You'd be better off not making ANY requirement changes until you have followed the links and found ALL the affected requirements at all levels; then approve/disapprove/apply these changes all at once. - Louie |
