RQM for non software
2 answers
Hi Glyn,
Yes; I've applied RQM for clients on the systems/hardware side for testing in Defense, Transportation and Automotive.
This works well however you need to understand more of the detail for RQM to best apply.
My advise;
You need to select / Config the RQM Template to simplify things (take out the software stuff) and also understand your testing strategy, how to connect to your DNG artifacts (Modules/Views/Collections) to group requirements to be tested against phase/milestone this will support the content for the Test Plan. Also use RTC to help plan/support, the development of Test Specs and Defect management.
(think I sent you a linkedin request - if you want to discuss in more detail)
