Linking UML model elements with Requirement Management elements

You can link requirement elements with UML model elements. This linking can be managed by defining a linking policy, which decides the type of link that needs to be created by default. For more information, see Setting a default link type
  • Link types
    There are five types of links you can create from a model element to a requirement. Use the type of link that best represents how the model element is related to the requirement:
  • Creating links from the Links property tab
    The Requirement Management Integration feature adds a Links tab in the Properties view for all model elements. From the Links tab, you can create links from the model element to requirements.
  • Creating links by dragging and dropping
    The Requirement Management Explorer view shows all requirements and collections that are contained in a project area. The folders that contain the requirements and collections are also displayed.
  • Setting a default link type
    If you tend to use one of the link types more frequently than the others, you can set the default link type in the Requirement Management Integration preference page:
