Requirement Types

Requirements are critical to the success of a project, and methodologies typically specify a number of requirement types used to make sure the business, technical, architecture and transition requirements are well-defined. You define the type of requirement using the 'Type' field of the Requirement 'Properties' dialog. This helps to maintain a single set of typed requirements. You can select the appropriate 'Type' value from a drop-down list, which initially contains the system values:

  • Display
  • Functional
  • Performance
  • Printing
  • Report
  • Testing and
  • Validate

You can add to or replace any of these types with your own customized values from your methodology or from an industry standard method..
