How to trace dependencies?

Search syntax

You can use a specific search syntax to look for requirements with specific dependencies. We have two terms to identify the requirement who references another, and the requirement who is referenced. You can use either TO/FROM or PARENT/CHILD. Here are a few examples:

Syntax

Will result with

TO = 'REQ-001'

Requirements which reference REQ-001.

PARENT = ‘REQ-001’

FROM = 'REQ-001'

Requirements which are referenced by REQ-001.

CHILD = 'REQ-001'

FROM ~ 'REQ-%'

Requirements which are referenced by any requirement starting with "REQ-".

CHILD ~ 'REQ-%'

TO@refines = 'REQ-001'

Requirements which reference REQ-001 with the relationship “refines".

PARENT@refines = 'REQ-001'

The syntax is a bit more different for Linear Documents, find more information on our search syntax in this documentation page: https://confluence.intranet.requirementyogi.com/wiki/spaces/RYC/pages/1804765458/Search+syntax?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWZkZTUxNjk4MmM0NDhiYTk1ZTI0MDkzZjcwZDhmZjAiLCJwIjoiYyJ9

Traceability Matrix

You can create your matrices and display multiple levels of requirement dependencies in your reports.

  • Click on the cog menu of your requirement’s column.

  • Display sub level requirements by clicking on FROM, and select the relationship.

  • Display higher level requirements by clicking on TO, and select the relationship.

  • It is possible to go several layers deep in the levels of requirements

Dependency graph

When viewing your requirement detail, scroll down and view your requirements in a graphical way to navigate between dependencies.

  • Higher level requirements are displayed on the left, sub-level requirements on the right, and Jira issues below.

  • Click on a requirement to see its detail

  • Click on a relationship name and be redirected to the search to find dependencies with that relationship
