change

Integrator 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.

Whenever a part of a requirement chain is modified, the status will clearly indicate that some areas need to be re-tested. So, the simple answer is: yes you need to re-test. However, Integrator will let you see clearly which areas are affected and will help you put the ressources where they have the most impact on the project status.

Integrator has an upgrade feature where the new spec is inserted to replace an older version. This process is meant to save you time by updating only the modified requirements.
