Work Item Management with TestTrack Pro

Centralized Requirements Management

TestTrack RM centralizes requirements management, enabling all stakeholders to stay informed of new requirements, participate in the review process, and understand the impact of changes on their deliverables.

Surround SCM also includes very powerful and flexible file and change set labeling. Files can be added to a label and replaced with other versions. Labels make it easier to get files, create branches, and rebase files and branches on a group of related files in different repositories.

Track Everything About a Requirement

TestTrack RM tracks everything that defines a requirement, including the requirement description, requirement details, email threads, workflow, versions, documents, links to other requirements, file attachments, folders, and its history.

Requirements Documents

TestTrack RM can manage a virtually unlimited number of requirements. Requirements documents provide a method to group and organize sets of related requirements in TestTrack RM. Requirements documents are displayed in an outline format.

Traceability Matrix

TestTrack RM's traceability matrix allows you to perform coverage analysis by viewing the relationships between related items. For example, you may want to ensure that at least one test case has been generated for each approved requirement in a project. You can use the traceability matrix to compare requirements against test cases to see which requirements have test cases linked to them.

The traceability matrix displays items in rows and columns for comparison. Each item is listed by its item type tag and number, and the number in parentheses indicates the number of links or relationships.

Relationships and links between two items are indicated by icons in the cells, which indicate the following:

Parent/child link: One item is the parent or child to the other item.

Peer link: The items are peers.

Parent/child relationship: The arrows point to the parent item. Only requirements display relationships in the traceability matrix.

Peer relationship: The requirements share two relationships that point in opposite directions. This will occur when requirements are used in multiple requirements documents, but have different relationships in each document.

Suspect item: One of the items has been marked as suspect.

TestTrack RM's traceability matrix toolbar makes it easy to quickly show or hide content in the matrix. For example, to reduce the size of the matrix and the amount of information you have to sort through, you can remove rows and columns that do not contain a link or relationship.
