Updating traceability requirements

Traceability requirement name and text can only be changed in Rational XDE by modifying the name and description (found in the Model Documentation window in XDE) of the associated model element. Any changes made to the traceability requirement’s name or text in RequisitePro will be overwritten when you update the traceability requirements in XDE.

To update an individual traceability requirement name and text from Rational XDE

  1. Right-click on a model element associated to a traceability requirement in the Model Explorer or in the diagram window.
  2. Select RequisitePro> Update Traceability.

    3. The traceability requirement’s name and text are updated to match the name and description of the associated model element.

    Note: To update the associated name and text for a use case in XDE, right-click the use case and select RequisitePro > View Requirement Properties. If the name and text in the RequisitePro requirement do not match the name and description of the XDE use case, a dialog box appears, enabling you to resolve the differences.

  1. Click Tools > Rational RequisitePro > Update all traceability.

    2. All traceability requirement associated to model elements in the model are updated to match the name and description of the associated model elements. A message appears informing you that the update is complete.
