10、quisitePro is a powerful, easy-to-use requirements management tool that helps teams manage project requirements comprehensively, promotes communication and collaboration among team members, and reduces project risk. Requirements management is essential for improving your software development process

11、. The better the communication and management of your requirements, the more likely you are to identify the correct problem and deliver the right solution, and to do that on time and within budget. RequisitePro helps facilitate that process.RequisitePro offers the power of a database and Microsoft W

12、ord. Its robust architecture maintains live requirements documents that are dynamically linked to a database for powerful sort and query capabilities. This allows you to easily organize and prioritize your requirements, to trace relationships between them, and track changes that affect them. Robust

13、traceability features visually indicate how changes affect the project, thereby giving you the ability to perform real-time impact analysis and allowing you to make informed decisions for scope management or resource allocation. As a result, you are better able to manage requirement change, and your

14、 project is less likely to spiral off course. RequisitePro captures the change history for each requirement, thereby providing a paper audit of the evolution of project requirements.RequisitePro is integrated with other Rational Suite products. All of the products in the Rational Suite family are te

15、am-unifying tools and include additional role-specific tools to optimize each suite for the individual practitioner.Working in the RequisitePro shellConceptual overviewLets start by looking at the structure within which you will be navigating in RequisitePro.

Create a DocumentHow to create a document in a RequisitePro projectConceptual overviewWhen you create a document in RequisitePro, you are creating it in Word. A document is based on an outline, which provides the document structurefonts, formattin

28、g, page layout information, and other features associated with documents. You can use the document outlines provided with RequisitePro to organize your requirements. Outlines are provided for various document types; in the outlines, headings and suggestions are provided for the type of information t

29、hat belongs under each heading. You can also use the software to create your own document outlines. When you create a document, RequisitePro adds the new document to the project directory; you must specify the name, type, directory, and other information related to the document.You write different t

30、ypes of documents at different stages of the project, and you create specific types of requirements in specific types of documents. In the Vision document, you document the features your project should include, and in the use-case document, you describe how the system behaves. The use cases should r

31、elate to features in the Vision document.The document outlines available through RequisitePro appear on the Document Properties dialog box, General tab.

Create RequirementHow to create requirements in a documentConceptual overviewA requirement is an unambiguous and verifiable rendering of a need, want, or expectation that is expressed by a stakeholder. It is derived directly from user needs or stated in a contract, standard, specific

37、ation, or other formally imposed document. All requirements are stored in the project database. You can create requirements in a document, in the RequisitePro Explorer, or directly in the database through a view. A requirement type is a set of descriptive and operational information associated with

38、a requirement. RequisitePro provides some requirement types (for example, feature, supplementary, use case, and glossary terms), but you can specify as many types as you like. Each of these types has a different tag prefix (for example, the tag for feature requirements is FEAT, the tag for specifica

39、tion requirements is SR, and the tag for use-case requirements is UC), and each is numbered separately. Requirement types are useful for classifying or grouping similar requirements in a project. Each type has a unique set of user-defined attributes.ExerciseCreate requirements in a document 1) In th

40、e Explorer, double-click the Vision document to open it. 2) Scroll to Sections 5.1 and 5.2. Drag your mouse to select the sentence Customer shall receive e-mail notification. 3) Click RequisitePro Requirement New. The Requirement Properties dialog box opens.4) In the Requirement Type list, you selec

41、t the requirement type to apply to the requirements. For this exercise, select Feature Requirement Type. In the Name box, type E-mail notification. 5) Click OK.Notice that the requirement you created is preceded by a FEAT pending1 label. The prefix FEAT indicates that the text is a feature requireme

42、nt; Pending indicates that the requirement has not been saved to the database. (The new requirement is not committed to the database until the document is saved.)6) Click RequisitePro Document Save. Notice that the pending label has disappeared.Check it! Click RequisitePro Document Close.Tip: You ca

43、n also select a range of text to create multiple requirements simultaneously using the New Requirements Wizard; refer to the RequisitePro online help for more information.5. Management RequirementsHow to work with viewsConceptual overviewRequisitePro views present requirements that are stored in the

44、 project database. Requirements, their attributes, and their relationships with other requirements are displayed and managed in views. You can use views to organize and track your requirements. RequisitePro includes query functions for filtering and sorting the requirements and their attributes in v

45、iews. An Attribute Matrix view displays all requirements of a specified type. The requirements are listed in rows, and their attributes appear in columns. You can work with the database without opening Word or any requirements document. By default, the Attribute Matrix shows all of the requirements

46、of a single requirement type no matter where they are located.You can create requirements directly in an Attribute Matrix, and you can edit requirements in the matrix that were originally created in a document. After you edit the requirement text in the matrix, the edit is reflected in the document.

47、 Tip: You can also use a Traceability Matrix to view the relationships between requirements of the same or of different types and a Traceability Tree to view all requirements traced to or from a requirement.ExerciseCreate requirements directly in a view For the remaining exercises, you will be worki

48、ng with the Learning Project - Use Cases. (To close your Quick Tour project, click File Close Project.) 1) Click File Open Project and from the list, select Learning Project - Use Cases.

50、em shall be shipped immediately. In the Text box, type the following: Ship purchased item within 48 hours of receipt of order in the warehouse. 5) Click any other cell in the view, and your requirement is immediately saved and committed to the database.Check it! How to work with requirement attribut

51、es in a viewConceptual overviewRequirement attributes are data fields associated with each requirement that contain important project information. Each new RequisitePro requirement type is assigned default attributes by the system. For example, feature and supplementary specification requirements ty

52、pically have the attributes Priority, Status, Cost, Difficulty, and Stability; a use-case requirement may have similar attributes as well as some that are unique, such as Affects Architecture, Property, and Planned Iteration. You can delete, modify, or add an unlimited number of other attributes app

53、ropriate to your project. Attributes can be either list-type or entry-type. You can add, edit, or remove requirement attributes at any time during your project. The following data types are supported:l List (single value): A set of values from which a single value can be selected (up to 20 character

54、s); for example, high, medium, or low.l List (multiple value): A set of values from which more than one value can be selected (up to 20 characters); for example, Sue, Bob, John.l Text: a text string up to 255 characters; for example, John Smith.l Integer: whole numbers; for example, 5 or 1500.l Real

55、: real numbers; for example, 1.347 or 6.5.l Date: a date in the format defined by the users Windows setting; for example, mm/dd/yy.l Time: a time in the format defined by the users Windows setting; for example, 10:00 A.M.Attributes allow you to objectify the decision-making process. The values you a

56、ssign to each attribute help to organize, analyze, and prioritize the requirements in your project.One way to organize requirements is by priority. You might decide to assign high priority to certain requirements that are important to the customer. You can then sort through your requirements and add

57、ress those with high priority early in your project.ExerciseSet attribute values in an Attribute Matrix This exercise shows you two ways to set requirement attributes: l You can use the list you get when you right-click a matrix cell.l You can use the Requirement Properties dialog box, Attributes ta

58、b.1) In the All Features Attribute Matrix, right-click the intersection of the FEAT1 requirement and the attribute column Status. 2) Click the Set Value button, select an attribute, and click OK. 3) Select another feature requirement in the left-hand column and click Requirement Properties. The Requirement Properties dialog box opens.4) Click the Attributes tab, and select the value Low for the attribute Difficulty. 5) Click OK.6) Click anywhere in the view to save your changes.
