You can create a requirement from an existing UML model element.
This automatically creates an association between the UML model element and
the new requirement.
- Prerequisites
- Opening RequisitePro projects
To create requirements from model elements:
- Right-click a model element in the Model Explorer view
or a diagram and click . The UML model element
appears in the Link Clipboard view.
- Right-click a package in the Requirements Explorer view
and click Create Requirement from element name. This creates an associated requirement in the package.
Note: The type of requirement that is created is determined by the properties
on the Requirement Creation Policy page in the Project
Properties window. The association is direct or indirect, depending
on the properties on the Link Policy page in the Project Properties window.
As an alternative to using the menu items described above, you
can drag a UML model element from the Model Explorer view
to a package in the Requirement Explorer view
to create the requirement.
