requirement

How do you create requirements?
Submitted by fperron on Wed, 04/28/2010 - 23:20Requirements are largely taken from reference text in specification documents selected for a project.
So, Integrator let's you highlight official text in the pdf version of your specification and will keep this highlighted text as a reference throughout your project.
Two important benefits emerge from this approach:

How do you deal with changing requirements?
Submitted by fperron on Wed, 04/28/2010 - 21:58Integrator has been designed to let you easily cope with change at all levels. Requirement change can have drastic impact on a project. It is thus important to first assess the impact on the project, then start modifiying the requirement chain to adapt to the new reality. Perhaps some tests need parameters to be modified? Maybe there are some product areas that will need more specification details? You can easily answer these questions while looking at the most up-to-date information directly into your project within Integrator.

How can I put together a set of specification documents?
Submitted by fperron on Tue, 04/27/2010 - 12:43Integrator let's you simply upload them to your project. They are thus vaulted and revision controlled for the rest of the duration of your project.
The important part to remember is that, by providing a pdf version of all your specifications in Integrator, you will be given the opportunity to extract the requirements from the specification you uploaded and put them into Integrator.
A few benefits include:

How can I make sure every requirement gets verified on my product?
Submitted by fperron on Tue, 04/27/2010 - 12:42You can highlight your specifications so that all the text has been identified as a Shall, Should or May or Not-To-Test area. Then, it is a matter of having all the highlighted requirements validated using at least one testcase (with a validating script or a validating e-form). Derogations can also be used instead for specific conditions.
Coverage can easily be assesed through the dashboard.
