Day 6 - HP ALM - Requirement modification

Copying a Requirement

           Once the Requirements are created. You may want to copy the Requirements to other projects or to the same project  which use the some similar requirements. While copying the requirements in ALM you got to know the following

•  Root folder cannot be copied.
•  Test coverage is not copied.
•  Defect linkage is not copied.
•  Risk Based Quality Management ( RBQM) is not copied.

When the requirement is copied the following will be copied 

•  Traceability.
•  Associated Requirements.

When you name the copied requirement with the existing requirement name

                 

                                    Suffix_Copy will be added automatically.

Example:

          

            When you are trying to name the copied requirement with Login which is already exsist in your project. So ALM will be automatically add Login_Copy to the name of the copied requirement.
