When requirements are changed or deleted in the requirements source
application, the status of the requirement in Rational® Quality Manager is updated
to show the latest requirement status. Test cases that contain requirements
that change or are deleted are identified as suspect. This enables you to
adjust test plans and test cases quickly and accurately to respond to requirement
changes
When you discover that a test case has become suspect due to associated
requirements being changed in the requirements application, you can modify
the test case based on the requirement changes.
To modify the test case
based on requirement changes:
- If a requirement has been removed from the requirement source application,
you can manually remove that requirement from test plans and test cases by
selecting it and clicking X.
- If the requirement is updated, verify whether the association between
the requirement and test case are still valid, and then decide if the association
needs to be updated by adding additional test cases or disconnecting existing
associations between the requirement and the current test cases.
