Using RMsis, Requirement Manager can easily track requirements associated with a given artifact.

Artifact Attributes

An artifact has the following attributes:

  • Jira Reference: This field specifies unique key (Jira reference id) of the artifact.
  • Summary: This field specifies brief summary description of the artifact.
  • Artifact Type: This field specifies type of the artifact. Artifact types are automatically synchronized with issue types in Jira.
  • Priority: This field specifies priority of the artifact. Possible values are "Blocker", "Critical", "Major", "Minor" or "Trivial".
  • Status : This field specifies status of the artifact. Possible values are "Open", "In Progress", "Reopened", "Resolved" or "Closed".
  • Requirements: This field shows the requirement ids which are linked with this artifact.

Artifact Operations

The following operations can be performed:

  • Add Artifact: An artifact can be created by clicking on "Add Artifact" button. A Jira issue panel will be opened to create a new Jira issue. Artifact table will be automatically updated after closing the Jira issue panel.
  • Edit Artifact: An artifact can be edited by clicking in "Jira Reference" column. A Jira issue panel will be opened to edit that Jira issue. Artifact table will be automatically updated after closing the Jira issue panel.
