Hi,
As I have not been working with RQM in deeper details I have the following question. When you go into Test Plans you have a list of sections at the left. What is the difference between Requirement Collection Links and Requirements? And when do we use what to make it meaningful? Thanks:-) |
One answer
Requirement collection is a collection of artifacts, so you can add a collection of requirements to a Test plan in one go. Requirement is a single entity. Normally you would add "Requirement collection" to a Test Plan and use reconcile functionality to generate Test cases based off individual requirements in the collection. For more information, take a look at

Comments Hi Vidya,
Hi Peter,
Sorry about the link. Can you copy the link manually into another browser tab and try?
Requirements can be RRC or Reqpro or DOORS requirements depending on how your project is configured. If you are using CLM Lifecycle project, your RQM project will be able to use RRC Requirements/collections by default.
If using RRC for requirement management, you can add only "Requirement Collection" to a Test Plan. Then you would create Test cases based off the Requirements in the collection using reconcile.
Hi Vidya. Does that mean that if using RRC for requirement management in CLM Lifecycle project, the section in test plan called "Requirements" is completely obsolete? Thanks. |
