Tracing requirements implementation

After a CR is submitted against a requirement, your change management software tracks the details of the changes made to the requirement, such as who submitted the CR and why.

Use your change management software to notify users when the status of the CR is modified, such as when the request is assigned, resolved, or deferred.

For more information, see the product documentation that is specific to your change management software:
When you run Change Management for Rational DOORS®, the system shows the CR number and the CR status for each requirement. This information is shown on a Rational DOORS view, named IR Attrs View, which the change management feature creates. By default, these attributes have the following labels:

For information about adding and removing attributes or changing their labels, see Customizing IR attributes.

You can submit a new CR for a requirement, or you can associate one or more existing CRs with a requirement. Also, at any time, you can synchronize one or more requirements with one or more CRs to update the Rational DOORS view with the latest change management information.

The sync operation updates Rational DOORS with your change management information. Therefore, if you type a CR ID directly into the Implementation Request column, it is no longer listed after you run a sync operation.
