. The
requirement is associated with the folder; the two are related, but are distinctly
different artifacts. When you made the association in lesson 2.1, a proxy
requirement was created in Rational® RequisitePro®.
This proxy serves as a placeholder in Rational RequisitePro for the associated domain element. Because the proxy is a requirement in Rational RequisitePro,
you can establish traceability from the proxy to one or more requirements
in the project. Traceability between the original target requirement and
the proxy is created when the indirect association is made.
To view proxy requirements, complete the following steps:
The following folders are displayed in the Requirement Explorer view: Learning Project - Use Cases > Eclipse Element Proxies > resource > My Tutorial Project. Notice the requirement FOLDER1 Secure Payment; this is a proxy for the folder domain element.

Notice
the proxy requirement "FILE1 Customer authentication." The proxy requirement
icons are marked with a horizontal arrow
that indicates a direct link to the folder and file domain
elements. The name of the folder, the file, and their proxies typically remain
synchronized because the proxies represent the domain elements in Rational RequisitePro.
