Creating use cases from requirements

The Rational RequisitePro-XDE Integration lets you create XDE use cases from requirements in RequisitePro.

To create use cases in an XDE model from RequisitePro requirements

1. Select a requirement in a view, in the Explorer, or in a document.
2. If the requirement is in the Explorer or in a view, 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 Document Use-Case Association dialog box opens.

3. Type the full path and file name of the XDE model in the box, or click Browse and open the XDE model file. If the box already contains the proper path and model file name, skip to step 6.
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. Click Create.

   The Create a New Use Case dialog box opens.

6. The use-case name and model documentation boxes display the name and text of the selected requirement by default. To change the name and model documentation of the new use case, type a new name.
7. Select a package in which the new use case will be located and click OK.
8. If the use-case name or description is different from the requirement name or text, the Resolve Use-Case Name and Text dialog box opens. Do one of the following:

• Select Requirement to apply the RequisitePro requirement information to the use case.

• Select Use Case to apply the use-case information to the requirement.

• Select Other and type new information to apply to both the requirement and the XDE use case.

9. Click OK.
