The Traceability Browser allows you to investigate and alter the traces, which are set for a specific requirements. Given the particular importance of tracing, e.g. customer requirements down to test cases, the RA
If you have selected a requirement, you can open our Raiqon interface on the right side as a sidebar. Here, you see the following view:
In this view, you can click the Traceability button on top, which will open the following view:
In the middle panel, you see the requirement that was initially selected.
On the left side, you see existing (white background) upstream traces, as well as highlighted Suggested Upstream References. These are ordered by relevance. If thorough investigated yielded the result that a reference should be created, it is possible to press the Create reference button, which creates a new trace based on existing access rights (i.e. you can only create a reference when having access to the respective tracker where that requirements is in, etc.).
On the right side, you see existing as well as suggested downstream references, similiar to the upstream case. In the example showcased here, we also have reference that have a low similarity. Our Raiqon platform now flags these requirements for further investigation. If it turns out that such a reference is indeed not correct, it is possible to press the Removal button to delete the particular link.
To travel along the traceability chain, the buttons >R and <R allow you to move an item from the left or right side into the middle position, to see their upstream and downstream elements.
With this functionality, you can start at any requirement, and investigate the entire traceability chain the requirement is part of. And, you have the option to take actions directly when issues become evident.
The kind of traces (Reference Traces or Association Traces, or all) that are shown can be set on the top right:
On the top left, the scope of the suggested items can be shown. Search terms can be entered, as shown with the term ACC in the picture. Clicking on the project will open up the existing trackers of the project, which in turn can be individually checked. Checking the entire project will select all trackers inside a project. You can select multiple projects in entirety, or specific trackers out of different projects. Pressing Confirm on the bottom would then apply the settings, and refresh the suggested items if any changes affect them.
The following view result from select a certain tracker, so not showing customer requirements anymore (top left: System Requirements tracker selected as scope), and only show Reference Traces (top right):
Suggestions can be toggled on and off, as required by the users workflow.
Note: Please note that this functionality respects the tracker configuration. We only suggest new references from the configured upstream / downstream trackers.
