Add Requirement Dependencies

You can create dependencies to other requirements, or a mutual dependency between requirements.

Example

Suppose you have a feature to build a new phone, requirement WOW Phone (RA), which has a dependency on two requirements: Hacker-free Security Requirement (R1), and Blue-tooth Requirement (R2). The feature requires Requirement R1, and R2 depends upon the feature.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the requirement to create a dependency relationship.

   The general page appears.

2. Open Dependencies.

   The list page appears.

3. Click Add.

   The add page appears.

4. Select the check box next to the requirement to add as a dependency, and click Add.
5. Click one of the following:

   Values:

   • Mutual Dependency. Defines the selected requirement as mutually dependent on the target requirement.
   • Needed By. Defines the selected requirement as depending upon the target requirement.
   • Depends Upon. Defines the selected requirement for the target requirement.

   The dependency relationship is created.
