Quality criteria of requirements
« on: August 02, 2013, 07:30:55 am »
Hi,

I'm surprised, that there is no requirement attributes for quality criteria (clearly correct, complete, consistent, measurable, verifiable, modifiable and traceable).

I've defined eight tagged value pairs (fulfilled= yes/no, notes= explanation in case "not").

Is there a better way for hold the mentioned data ?

Thanks a lot,

Michel

Hi,

I would define a checklist for the different quality criteria. In the requirements I would use the property Status or a tagged value to define a little workflow like:
  • in work
  • ready for review
  • reviewed
  • rejected

I don't see requirements as attributes of anything. A requirement is an element having attributes on its own and which is related via (stereotyped) dependency to other elements.

Hi Michel

To do what you want, go to Settings->Project Types->General Types
Select the Status tab and add the values you would like to use.

You can then select these values in the Status drop down on the properties page.
A bonus of doing this is that the same types are now available for all elements not just requirements.
