Linking Requirements to Use Cases ...

[Certainty]

Hi Folks,

First up, please excuse me if this has already been covered off elsewhere, I have searched but couldn't find what I was looking for.

My question is, is there a way to view a Requirement dialog and see what other Requirements and / or Use Cases are linked to it?

I use the Relationship Matrix to establish links to my Use Cases, which enables me to view a Use Case and see the linked Requirements. I'd really appreciate being able to do this the other way around too.

The purpose of the exercise is to be able to review the impact of a change in a Requirement, by instantly seeing connected Requirements and / or Use Cases.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Not sure where your issues with the matrix are but it works both ways.

You can see all links of a UC with a specific requirement nut you can also fokus on a requirement and scroll down the sheet to see all relations.

Otherwise the relation view (Shift-Ctrl-2) might help you also.

Thanks for the reply Oliver.

No issues with the Relationships Matrix, just wondered if there was another 'view' to be had, whilst concentrating outside of it, and the Relationships window is perfect! ...  

Cheers

Another option is the "Hierarchy" view which shows you all element relationships.  I find this very powerful with Use Cases because it shows you the view back to the requirements, but also what has been engineered forward to design and build (provided you put in the relationships of course).
