Importing requirements into a test plan

If you have requirements defined in an external tool, such as IBM® Rational® RequisitePro®, you can import them directly into a test plan. If a requirement that you import is changed or deleted in its original requirements application, the status of the requirement in the test plan changes to Suspect.

When a requirement is marked as suspect, a tester or test manager can adjust the test plan as needed.

To import requirements into a test plan:
  1. Open a test plan.
  2. From the Table of Contents, click Requirements to display the Requirements section of the test plan.
  3. Click the Import Requirement(s) icon (Import requirement). This starts the Import Requirement wizard.
  4. Configure the requirement source.
    1. From the list, select the requirement Source type, for example RequisitePro.
      Note: This integration requires RequisitePro, version 7.1.
    2. In the Host Name field, type the host name or IP address of the host.
    3. In the Port field, type the port number of the host, and click Next.
  5. Select the name of the project in the requirements repository.
  6. Type your user ID and password for the requirements repository, and click Next.
  7. In the Type field, select the requirement type of the requirements to import. A list of requirements displays.
  8. Select the requirements from the list, and click Import.

    The requirements are imported into the test plan and display in the Requirements section.

  9. Click Save.
