When a link to a Rational requirement is marked as a suspect link, you know that the artifact was changed since the link was created or last validated. Suspect traceability is not supported for changes to HP ALM artifacts. For an overview of suspect traceability, see the related links.
The first step in using suspect links is to set up a suspicion profile. Typically, this task is done by an administrator. For information about setting up a suspicion profile, see the related links.
This video provides a demonstration of working with suspect links with the HP adapter.
For an HP ALM requirements folder, Suspect Requirements opens a list of HP ALM requirements that link to suspect Rational requirements artifacts. Open the twistie to preview the requirement, or click it to go to the HP ALM adapter resource page for the requirement.
For an HP ALM test folder, Suspect Test Cases opens a list of HP ALM test cases that link to suspect Rational requirements artifacts. Open the twistie to preview the test case, or click it to go the HP ALM adapter resource page for the test case.

Follow these steps to verify and clear a suspect link. You can use this procedure with test cases or requirements.
