Calculations

cover image

You can now perform calculations and use formulas directly in your requirement value field.

  • Dynamic Requirement Values: Type = when entering a value for a requirement to turn it into a formula.

  • Use Design and Model Values: Reference design values (=VAL) or model values (=MOD) in your calculations by typing their identity or name.

  • Perform Arithmetic Operations: Run basic arithmetic operations within formulas to automate and simplify requirement calculations.

This feature streamlines workflows by integrating real-time calculations into your design and requirements management.

Requirement Type-Specific Custom Fields

You can now create custom fields tailored to specific requirement types. Assign custom fields to selected requirement types and improve workflows by ensuring only relevant fields are displayed for each requirement type.

Link Jira Issues to Test Cases

You can now link Jira issues directly to test cases, making it easier to track and manage testing efforts alongside your Jira workflows.
