Requirement to Feature Reports

This traceability report shows a Product's committed Requirements vs. Fulfilled Features. It provides the ability to see the fulfillment view of Requirements to Features and helps determine the status of the Product in its development lifecycle. For example, it shows how many Requirements have corresponding Feature commitments, how many Features have been committed to the Product Revision, and how many of them have been released.

Requirement to feature reports are available on these pages: Requirement Specifications, Requirements, and Structure View. The following table shows the specific reports, which are all available from those pages.

Requirement Specifications, Requirements, and Structure View Pages
Report Name	Description
Requirement-Feature with mutually linked Products.	Displays Requirements with related Features and mutually Fulfilled Products.
Requirement-Feature Product Links	Displays Requirements with all related Features and Products.

Requirement to Test Case Reports

The Requirement to Test Case traceability report is a verification report. It verifies, via test validation, whether a product definition meets, or does not meet, the requirements. This report ensures all the input requirements have an associated Test coverage and a status of the Test validation.

Requirement to test case reports are available on these pages: Requirement Specifications, Requirements, and Stucture View. There is one type of report, which is available from those pages.

Report Name	Description
Requirement-TestCase Validation	Displays Requirements with related Test Cases.

Requirement to Functions Reports

The Requirement to Function traceability report is an allocation report. It verifies the allocation of Requirements to Functions. It also verifies whether, or not, all Requirements have an allocation or all Functions satisfy a Requirement.

Requirement to functions reports are available on these pages: Requirement Specifications and Structure View. There is one type of report.

Requirement to Logical Reports

The Requirement to logical traceability report is called Allocation report. It verifies the allocation of Requirements to Logical system components. It also verifies whether, or not, all Requirements have an allocation or all Logical system components satisfy a Requirement.

Requirement to logical reports are available on these pages: Requirement Specifications and Structure View. There is one type of report.
