Description

Objects of the slreq.Reference class represent referenced requirements that you import from third-party requirements management tools. Referenced requirements are proxy requirements for the external requirements that you manage by using the third-party tool. When you make changes to the external requirements, you can update the referenced requirements.

Creation

ref = find(rs, 'Type', 'Reference', 'PropertyName', PropertyValue) finds and returns a referenced requirement or a set of referenced requirements ref in the requirement set rs specified by the properties matching PropertyName and PropertyValue.

ref = add(rs, 'Artifact', FileName, 'PropertyName', PropertyValue) adds a referenced requirement ref to a requirement set rs which references requirements from the external document specified by FileName with properties and custom attributes specified by PropertyName and PropertyValue.

This example shows how to find a referenced requirement in a requirement set.

Load a requirement set called myReqSet.

rs = slreq.load("myReqSet");

Find a requirement with ID 9 in the requirement set.

req = find(rs,"Type","Reference","ID","9");
ref =
