Setting traceability

 Conceptual overview

Traceability is a directional relationship between any two requirements (of the same type or different types). ReqA --> ReqB means that ReqA is traced to ReqB. ReqA <-- ReqB means that ReqA is traced from ReqB.

RequisitePro's traceability feature helps assure the quality and completeness of your products. You can link abstract requirements, such as product features, to requirements such as hardware and software functional specifications. You can trace from your use cases to the features requested by your stakeholders.

As you create requirements in RequisitePro, you establish traceability between feature requirements and more detailed requirements (such as use-case requirements). You can define the dependencies among requirements of the same type or different types. For example, you can trace use-case requirements (UC requirement type) to the feature requirements (FEAT requirement type), because use cases depend on the specification of the features. There may be times, however, when features do not apply to a specific use case, they are not easily traced from a particular use case, or they are not functional requirements. In these situations, you can trace supplementary specification (SUPP) requirements to the feature requirements.
