Requirements Diagram

A Requirements diagram is a custom diagram used to describe a system's requirements or features as a visual model. Each Requirement is  defined as a Requirement element (a Custom element of type Requirement). The actual Requirement, as a text explanation, is the element name (short) or description (long) in the element properties.

Requirement elements can have relationships with other elements, such as other Requirements, Use Cases and Components, to illustrate how a requirement is satisfied by modeling and development . You can track the development arising from a specification or requirement using the Traceability window.
