Identify selection-based links having description fields that do not match their requirements document text

Check ID: mathworks.req.Labels

Verify that descriptions of selection-based links use the same text found in their requirements documents.

Description

You used selection-based linking of the Requirements Management Interface (RMI) to label requirements in the model's Requirements menu with text that appears in the corresponding requirements document. This check helps you manage traceability by identifying requirement descriptions in the menu that are not synchronized with text in the documents.

Available with Requirements Toolbox™.

Results and Recommended Actions

Condition

Recommended Action

Selection-based links have descriptions that differ from their corresponding selections in the requirements documents.

If the difference reflects a change in the requirements document, click Update in the Model Advisor results to replace the current description in the selection-based link with the text from the requirements document (the external description). Alternatively, you can right-click the object in the model window, select Edit/Add Links from the Requirements menu, and use the Requirements dialog box that appears to synchronize the text.

Capabilities and Limitations

You can exclude blocks and charts from this check.

This check applies to the linked requirements and does not include checking requirements that are lower in the linked requirement's hierarchy.

If your model has links to a DOORS^® requirements document, to run this check, the DOORS software must be open and you must be logged in.

If your model has links to a Microsoft^® Word or Microsoft Excel^® document, to run this check, those applications must be closed on your computer.
