Lesson 3: Create an impact analysis condition

In this lesson, you create a set of filtering rules, which you use to customize the current impact analysis diagram for your project. You create the impact analysis condition in a second browser tab so that you can switch back and forth between the impact analysis diagram and the condition.

1. Define an impact analysis condition.
   1. Open a new tab in your web browser, and go to http://server:port/relm/web.
   2. On the My Projects tab, click and open the required project.
   3. To create an impact analysis condition, go to Analysis > Create > Impact analysis condition.
      
   4. Name the condition Test case analysis.
   5. Configure what artifacts to include in the impact analysis diagram based on the link types.
      1. Click Add link type next to the Filtered links section.
         
      2. In the Add link type dialog box, select All project areas value from the Project area list. Then choose the testedByTestCase (http://open-services.net/ns/cm#testedByTestCase) value and click Add.
         
      3. Repeat step i and step ii to add the following link types:
         • implementsRequirement (http://open-services.net/ns/cm#implementsRequirement)
         • Satisfies (https://rmserver:9443/rm/types/_jS1ALIXDEei6UY8WM5exJQ)
      4. Click Save.

      When you use this impact analysis condition, the diagram shows artifacts that are linked by the configured link types. To show all artifacts except the ones that are linked by the configured link types, select the Ignore selected artifacts and links checkbox. You can combine multiple conditions in a profile, and thus you combine inclusion and exclusion rules.

2. Apply the impact analysis condition.
   1. On the web browser tab where you are editing your impact analysis diagram, on the Active conditions tab, click Add condition icon.
      
   2. Select the Test case analysiscondition, and click Add.
      
   3. Click Apply.
   The diagram shows the artifacts based on the rules that you defined in the Test case analysis condition.

   
3. Save the profile.
   1. On the Focus and Profile tab, click Save.
      
   2. In the Save profile window, enter the profile name and a description, and click Save profile.
      
   The profile holds the traversal information (number of analysis levels and directions), and any conditions that you configure.
4. Create an impact analysis diagram that uses the Test case analysis profile.
   1. Go to Analysis > Create > Impact analysis diagram.
      
   2. In the Focus artifact field, enter the support keyword.
   3. In the search results list, select Donors Can Choose to Support an Organization.
      
   4. In the Profile field, select Test case analysis profile.
      The description shows you what conditions are applied.

      
   5. Click Start analysis.

   The diagram shows all the artifacts that are impacted by the focus artifact, and linked by using the link types that are specified in the selected profile.
