If you have requirements defined in an external tool, such
as IBM® Rational® RequisitePro®, you can import them directly into a test plan.
Before you begin
Before importing requirements, synchronize with the requirements
server. This helps to ensure that you import the most recent version
of the requirements. By default, synchronization occurs automatically
every 20 minutes, although it is possible to change the synchronization
schedule. It is also possible to force a manual synchronization before
you import the requirements.
