Mapping requirements to imported elements

You map the imported shadow elements to requirements by creating a link module in IBM® Rational® DOORS®.

About this task

To create a link module:

Procedure

  1. In the Rational DOORS Project Manager, select New > Link Module.
  2. Use the New Link Module window to specify the name for the link module, its description, and a mapping value.
  3. Click OK to apply your changes and dismiss the window. The Link Module window opens.
  4. Select File > New > Linkset. The New Linkset window opens.
  5. Specify the source and target modules, then click OK to create the link.

Results

Rational DOORS creates a link module in which requirements from the source module line the left margin of a blank table in the middle of the window, and shadow objects from the target module line the top margin of the table.

To link requirements to shadow objects

Procedure

  1. Right-click a blank square in the table and select New Link.
  2. In the Edit Link Object window, edit any of the link attributes.
  3. Click Close.

Results

That square is marked in blue to indicate that a requirement on the Y‑axis is linked to a shadow object on the X-axis.
