test methods and verify

How does one use DOORS to create and use test methods to verify requirements? I heard somewhere that DOORS can create test methods if the attribuites are set up correctly. I would be interested in how someone as implemented a form of auto test method generation.

DOORS has a "Test Tracking" feature which adds attributes and does other stuff to support testing - it has to be set-up. For smallish projects where having an expensive Test Management tool is not an option, I know of many who have made good use of it. You will need to read up about it in the DOORS User Manual - for DOORS 9.2, it's in section 24 of the manual "Using Rational DOORS to manage your testing"

Thanks Paul for your response.
I have tried the test tracking feature and it does look like it will provide most of what I was asking for in regards to setting up attributes, creating forms and allowing for data input.
What seems to be missing, the creation of the test method (text) that will be used to describe the measurement process and define the limits of measurement. My ideas based on reading articles about DOORS leads me to believe that DOORS has the ability to create each test method automatically, but it does depend on the correct structure of requirements and attributes. I would like to know if anyone has succeed in using DOORS to automatically create test methods thus reducing the manual effort usually associated with writing text descriptions of each test method. Maybe this is not possible?
