Configuring requirement types

You can configure the requirement types your team uses. When users add requirements, they select a requirement type. This helps categorize requirements based on their purpose and helps users manage groups of requirements more effectively.

TestTrack RM includes the following default requirement types: business requirement, functional requirement, and non-functional requirement. See Default requirement types.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Requirement Types.

The Configure Requirement Types dialog box opens.

2. Click Add to create a new requirement type. See Adding requirement types.

3. Select a type and click Edit to change it. See Editing requirement types.

4. Select a type and click Top, Move Up, Move Down, or Bottom to change the display order.

Requirement types are displayed in fields in the same order. You may want to move more frequently used requirement types to the top of the list.

Note: Requirements are also displayed in this order in detail reports that use the RequirementDocumentForwardTraceabilityReport.xslt stylesheet.

5. Select a type and click Inactivate to inactivate it. See Inactivating requirement types.

6. Select a type and click Delete to delete it. See Deleting requirement types.

7. Click OK to save the changes.

Note: You can configure command- and field-level security for each requirement type. See Adding security groups. You can also configure required fields and default field values for each requirement type. See Defining required fields and default values.
