Viewing requirements in query results

Use the Requirement Query Results view to examine the results of queries that are created in Rational® RequisitePro® views. These view types include the Attribute Matrix, Traceability Matrix, and Traceability Tree.

Get ready

The requirement project can contain views created in Rational RequisitePro, which present the results of queries against the requirements database. Each view can be configured with filters for specific conditions and is based on one of the following types of queries:

Traceability views also display suspect traceability relationships, which indicate changes in traced requirements that might impact the relationship or require attention.

To view requirement query results:

  1. In the Requirement Explorer view, click a project to open it.
  2. Click packages, as needed, to expand them and access Rational RequisitePro views.
  3. Double-click a Rational RequisitePro view. The Requirement Query Results view opens and displays the query results.
  4. In a traceability view, right-click a traceability relationship indicator, described below, to add or remove a suspect condition on the relationship or remove the traceability relationship.
In the RequisitePro Query Results view, you can examine requirement properties and relationships in the query results:
  • In an Attribute Matrix, scroll down to view requirements in rows and scroll across to view the requirement attributes in columns. Cells within the matrix contain attribute values.
  • In a Traceability Matrix, expand requirements in the display to view trace to and trace from relationships. Each cell in the matrix displays the traceability relationship between the row requirement and the column requirement. Suspect relationships are marked with a red backslash on the trace icon .
  • In a Traceability Tree, view traceability relationships to and from root requirements. Suspect relationships are marked with a red backslash on the trace icon .
Use the Requirement Trace view to examine traceability relationships between requirements.
