Tracing requirements implementation
After a CR is submitted against a requirement, your change
management software tracks the details of the changes made to the
requirement, such as who submitted the CR and why.
Use your change management software to notify users when the status of the CR is modified, such as when the request is assigned, resolved, or deferred.
For more information, see the product documentation that is specific
to your change management software:
When you run Change Management for IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS),
the system shows the CR number and the CR status for each requirement. This information is shown on
a DOORS
view, named IR Attrs View, which the change management feature creates. By
default, these attributes have the following labels:
- csint_ir_dcterms:title
- csint_ir_oslc:shortTitle
- csint_ir_dcterms:description
- csint_ir_oslc_cm:status
For information about adding and removing attributes or changing their labels, see Customizing IR attributes.
You can submit a new CR for a requirement, or you can associate one or more existing CRs with a requirement. Also, at any time, you can synchronize one or more requirements with one or more CRs to update the DOORS view with the latest change management information.
The sync operation updates DOORS with your change management information. Therefore, if you type a CR ID directly into the Implementation Request column, it is no longer listed after you run a sync operation.
