Requirements Toolbox: Recommended workflow for performing reviews of requirements and test-cases

Hi.

Certain standards as e.g. DO-178C require that the requirements written by SW engineer A are reviewed by another person say SW engineer B.

How is it recommended to do such tasks with the Requirements Toolbox?

I could not find any predefined attributes inside the toolbox which assist such tasks.

But I saw the possibility to generate "reports" in which the author is stated.

Is this the way to go: Engineer A writes a section of requirements and generates a report which is afterwards reviewed by engineer B?

The requirements themselves would need to be reviewed by another engineer. One option to keep track of the status of the requirements is to create a custom attribute for the requirement to store the status using a combo box type. For example status could be Draft, In Review, Approved, Rejected or whatever you choose. See the documentation here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/slrequirements/ug/customize-requirements-with-custom-attributes.html

Ok thanks.

So there are three custom attributes needed then from my point of view:

• a "Verification status" attribute as combo box with the states Draft, In Review, Approved, Rejected..
• an "Author/Last modified by" attribute as Edit field which contains the name of Engineer A
• a "Review performed by" attribute as Edit field which contains the name of Engineer B
