RQM vs. RTM - No more support of these features?
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/6d4714fd2fcc7091b33322326a94a4c2.jpg)
Hi,
We are evaluating RQM (currently using TestManager 6.15, RMT 6.0, and ReqPro 6.15), and there are several things that are "must-have" features for us. I've been trying to play around with RQM but it gets a bit confusing. Anyone knows the answer please help.. TIA!
1) In test manager there is a view ("Test Input") where all requirements are listed and under each requirement test cases that are associated to that requirement are listed. Is there such view in RQM?
2) We need a feature where all manual tester scripts associated to test cases in a test plan can be printed in detail (step-by-step). We were able to write a word macro with Manual Tester to do this. Is there a way to do this in RQM?
3) In Test Manager the test case status (pass/fail/blocked..etc) is displayed next to a test case. This is very helpful as team members can easily view which test cases have been run already. How do I do that with RQM?
4) Test case showing as suspect when its associated requirement is updated is a must for us. I know there is such feature in RQM. But I was unable to get it to show up as suspect most of the time. And when it does show up as suspect, I'm not sure how to clear it.
Thanks again everyone!

In RQM you can for example go to the requirements section, set a check mark at the requirements you want and press the "See Testcases Associated with the requirement". There you will get this list and possibilty to drill further down into the testcases.

Have not checked this with RQM 1, but there are ways to do this eg. by using Birt reporting.
but in RQM 2 (in beta now, but soon to be released) there will be enhanced capabilities for reporting (even with a query builder, and report builder based on Insight - former Cognos technology) but now bulid into RQM. This will give you exatly these possiblities and much more.

!
In RQM you configure your testcases for run by making test execution records (see this section eg. for a test case). There you can set up the same testcase to be tested for a number of combinations of enviroments, giving a great flexlibilty. If you look at a TER (Test Exectuion Record) you can see Name of the test case, test script, last result, defects status etc. - so as you say easily displaied to see which tests have been run already and what status they are in.

4) Test case showing as suspect when its associated requirement is updated is a must for us. I know there is such feature in RQM. But I was unable to get it to show up as suspect most of the time. And when it does show up as suspect, I'm not sure how to clear it.
I recall having seen the same in RQM 1 at some stage, but with the RQM 2 changes "subject" marking (litle yellow circle with an exclamantion mark) shows up just as I expect it to. As I recall there are also options to configure what changes you want to show up as suspect markings (in RQM 1 I belive this is set through the adming client).
What I do to clear it (when I am sure I have checked all the suspects) I simply go to the main requirements section of RQM and use the "Reset Requirments Status" icon. (Reset requirement will load requirement's latest information from server and clean up requirement's status. If requirement has already associated to test cases, it will also clean up all the associated test cases' suspect status automatically.)

I believe you posted the same information on developer works, which I provided you feed back to there
