Reviewing requirements change requests

When an RCR is sent to review, it is reviewed to determine whether the changes are acceptable and to identify the impact of making those changes.

About this task

The RCR review feature displays added objects as they are displayed when the RCR is applied. As a consequence, reviewing RCRs requires the user to open the module in the exclusive edit mode.

Procedure

  1. In Rational® DOORS®, open the applicable module.
  2. Select Change Management > Requirements Change Request > Review.

    The Select a RCR To Review - DOORS window opens and shows a list of all modules affected by each RCR is located in the second column.

  3. Determine the types of RCRs you want to include when searching for conflicts.
  4. Select the RCR you want to review

    In the default lifecycle, the list contains only those RCRs in the review state that have your user name in one of the reviewer fields.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Close.

    A new view is created in Rational DOORS. The view shows the proposed changes associated with the selected RCR, and is filtered to include only those objects that are affected by the RCR. The view also contains a details column that shows any conflicts that might be present within the RCR.

    For more information about conflicts, see Conflict detection and resolution.
