DNG/JRS v7.0.2 0 - Managing & Displaying Requirements that aggregate Requirements


Kelly Hoffman (5816) | asked Feb 16 '22, 11:18 p.m.

I'm looking for best known methods for managing, displaying, reporting, and linking an aggregation of requirements.

In our system, we have a set of quality requirements that are stand-alone and are also aggregated to operate concurrently.

Managing the set of stand-alone requirements in DNG, displaying in a Module, reporting via JRS tables and comprehending the RTM (reqs traceability matrix) is straight-forward.

We then define 'concurrency' requirements that specify which stand-alone requirements need to function as a concurrent set.  In addition, the concurrency requirements should reference or 'reuse' the stand-alone requirements to avoid consistency issues.

The concurrency requirement should be comprehended in the following 'views'
  1. In a Module View <o:p> </o:p>
  2. In a JRS report <o:p> </o:p>
  3. In the RTM (requirements traceability matrix) <o:p> </o:p>
A concurrency requirement specified as a Table of stand-alone requirements is visually pleasing, but hard to manage

<o:p> </o:p>

  1. Tables as format Text – import/export issues, hard to Compare Configurations... <o:p> </o:p>
  2. Tables as Graphic-Diagram type – painful to build.  Rendering results in cartoonish text. (perhaps this is a v6.0.6 issue)  We are upgrading to 7.0.2 in the next few weeks. <o:p> </o:p>
  3. RTM of a text formatted requirement will not display well
I'm interested to understand how others manage a set of requirements as a single concurrency requirement.
