I am using Integrity for my Requirments and Test Management for various projects

1.jpg


I am expert in DOORs for 14yrs and this isb my first time hands on Integiry since 10months, able to trace requirements to various documents per our process, but at a one glance i am not able to produce the Tracability Metrics to check how many requirement id's are broke or not connected
Say for an example, i got following traceability process across various documents,

Here i need a queres that can be written and assigned to a repoort generator which can provide the statics of How many Customer req's are connected to how mnay System level req's

How many Customer requirments are having no trace's, like wise i need a table of metrics and when i click those number it should take to those set of requirementsTraceability Example.jpg

I tried my best but i am not able to get professional level queir and report generations, i asked couple time if such basis reoports can be provided by PTC itself along with product

 

Any help on this topci will be greatly appreciated

Hi Balaji,

Depending on your implementation you may or may not have a field on the Customer Requirement node called Trace Status or Downstream Trace Count which are computed fields or triggered fields that change when a trace is added or removed.  If you do have these fields then its a simple matter of running a query of all customer requirements with a Trace Status of none or a downstream trace count of 0.  Of course downstream trace count will show any downstream trace so perhaps not just to system requirements again depending on your implementation.  Once you have your query you can use it in reports or charts as needed. 

If you do not have these fields then you need to create a query that filters on "relationships", "name of relationship", "has relationship" and then invert it and add a second filter for your specific type. 

So for a full example, I have a query that looks at all requirement nodes (type = requirement) and filter relationships -> Validated By -> Has NO validated by relationships  which will give me every requirement node in the system i have permission to see that does not have a trace to a test case.

Hi Balaji,

You can create Traceability Matrix for the same requirement you have...

Please check my screenshot and let me know do you want this ??tracebility.png

 

I think this is exact you want ???

Waiting for your quick response  ??

Hi Kapil,

 

Could you please let me know the procedure to generate such a traceability matrix shown below.

Hi,

can you please show me an example of how the numbers you are looking for are displayed in the tool you worked with before?

And, where you want to display these numbers?

At the project item itself from Integrity, in a query?

If in a query, please provide to me an example of how does this look like.

Hi Volker,

I am looking to generate charts in PTC as shown in the attachment.

Say, I have 100 requirements in a document, I want to create a chart which displays below details in a single chart

1. Requirements which has relationship "decomposed from" (say 50)
2. Requirements which has relationship "decomposes To" (say 20)
3. Requirements which don't have both relation ships "Decomposed From" and "Decomposes To" (Say 30)

At the moment I could able to generate these charts with the help of Traces (downstream, upstream etc.),

But the constraint with this attribute is, for downstream trace, it also consider "Validated By" relationship in addition to "Decomposes To"

I need to generate charts which has traceability information only between requirements and another chart displaying traceability information(i.e., count) between requirements -- "Validatedby" -- "Validates".

Could you please let me know if this is possible in PTC. 

Regards,
Anirudh

Hi Anirudh,

yes, of course this is also possible.

The trace counts are fields with formulas (calculations), and you can for sure define an additional field with a calculation, and count only "decomposes to", but leave "validated by" out.

This would require that you talk to your admin, because only an Integrity admin can define and link such fields.

Such a field should be a static field only, means updated once a day only (night job).

The key question for me is in regards to the starting point: do you like to see the metric on document level (for each individual document, or on project level - for all docs in the project). The later will allow you that you can put the chart also into a dashboard - dashboards allow you to filter by project.

Finally, according to your request, I assume you rather want a "has a trace", instead of "trace counter", is this correct?

Hope that is helpful.
