Associating an existing requirement with a use case

To associate a use case with an existing requirement from Rational RequisitePro

1. Select a requirement in a RequisitePro view, document, or the explorer. To select a requirement in a document, place the cursor in the requirement text.
2. Click Requirement > Associate to Rational XDE Use Case. If the requirement is in a document, place the cursor on the requirement and click RequisitePro > Requirement > XDE > Associate to XDE Use Case.

   The Requirement Use-Case Association dialog box opens.

3. Type a full path and the XDE model file name in the indicated box, or click Browse and open the model file.
4. Click Apply.

   Any use cases in the model that are not associated to a requirement or document appear in the Select XDE Element(s) list.

5. Select a use case and click Associate.

   If the use-case name and text are different from the requirement name and text, the Resolve Use-Case Name and Description dialog box opens, allowing you to indicate a name and description to apply to both the requirement and the use case.

6. Click OK.

   For document-based requirements, the requirement name and text appear in the document.
