Importing Requirements from a Requirements Package PDF Print E-mail

Many large organizations and consulting firms have multiple software acquisition or software evaluation projects going on in parallel. So, if you occasionally or frequently create Evaluation Specifications (and Requests for Proposal (RFPs)), you will realize that some requirements are specific to an Evaluation Specification, while others are needed in almost every Evaluation Specification. The latter group of requirements may be termed 'horizontal' requirements, since almost every Evaluation Specification includes them. For example, Evaluation Specifications about Business Process Modeling Tools and Business Rule Tools both include a set of security-related requirements.

Requirements Packages represent collections of requirements organized by topic. Each Requirements Package provides a view into the central Requirements Repository, which holds all requirement templates. It is frequently updated and extended.

The following figure provides you with an impression of the Functional Requirements Browser. A list of Requirement Templates is presented for each Requirement Category as you navigate the hierarchical Requirement Categories Tree View.

Requirement Templates Package

 

When you select a Requirement, the view will change and you will be shown the Requirement details. 

Requirement Template Details

All you need to do is select the Requirement Templates that you need and import them into your Evaluation Specification via drag & drop.  

Please note that you cannot import requirements into an Evaluation Specification if the Evaluation Specification has status Approved.
