Requirements Gateway and TS-Intermidiate File II

Hi
I have asked in this thread about the TestStand Intermidiate file.
http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Requirements-Gateway-TS-Intermidiate-File/m-p/2288998/highlight...
At the moment I am writing my own intermidiate file generator. To keep it simple as possible i have tried to derive it from the NI's one's. One Attribute i could not explain is: "canGenerateResults" in the step element tag.
Is it possible to tell me how this flag value is created?

Hi Daniel,
what you have descriped is the attribute: recordResult.
but the word "sequence" pointed me to the right flag.
The attribute: canGenerateResults ist created by.
Sequnence Properties -> Tab:General-> Checkbox Disable Result Recoding for All Steps.

Requirements Gateway and XML Reports

Hi,
before reinventing the wheel once more, i would ask if anyone has already written a NI-Requierments Gateway Type that supports
the XML-Reports based on the old Teststand 2.0 XML-Style ?

Requirements Gateway - Searching for requirements in table rows in a Adobe PDF file

In my quest for creating a good understanding of the coverage of requirements of my test cases I download the NIRG (NI Requirements Gateway) and started out importing my SRS (System Requirement Specifications) documents and some of the test cases. There are many different types of sources which can be imported (Word, Excel, Visio, Access, PDF, ...) and NIRG uses REGEX (Regular Expressions) for extracting the requirement and coverage information of the sources. NI have defined some standardized REGEX formats but they (NI) have also made it possible for tweaking these to fit your purpose.
Instead of adding/changing the SRS documents to fit these standardized REGEX formats, I dived into how to create REGEX for my purpose.

Hi Manooch_H,
Here is the example document and thank you for taking the time and helping me out .
The columns which I would like to import into NIRG are actually all of them. The UC, Verification, Priority and Responsible columns should be imported as attributes to the requirement. The ID and Requirement columns should be imported as the Requirement and Text respectivaly.

Requirements Gateway - Front Panel Objects

Hi,
I am just about to start using the requirements gateway and I have a couple of questions to help me get going...
1 - If I create a vi on a machine without RG installed and then move it to a machine with the RG installed, will the tags still be recognised?
2 - Does RG recognise the [Covers XX] syntax if it is on a front panel and not the block diagram?
Thanks for your help.
Darren.

Don't expect it to be that bad.
Whever I see someone at NI talk about Requirements Gateway, or see them use it, I am reminded how disconnected these individuals are with how it is used in the real world. 2-3 VIs? Who has 2-3 VIs? If you have a program with 2-3 VIs I think you can track the requirements your self.
The largest program I think I used it on had something around 3000 requirements, and that went into 4000 or so derived requirements, that linked to VIs, TestStand files, and Word documents. Ever used that one tab in RG that shows how each file links to each file with requirements? The one with all the lines pointing to all the bubbles? Yeah that is utterly useless if you have more than 10 or so requirements. For that program I described it looked like a conduit made of 1000s of little lines.

Requirement gateway report

Hi,
In the Requirement gateway i have given the requirements document. So the tool management view shows all the header information from the input word file. Please see the attached image file.
I would like to extract the header information shown on the management view in to the text file.
Is it possible? then how to do that.
i am trying to capture the text as below in the automated way of generating from the Requirement gateway.
Sample text file content from the attached image is

Kals,
All you have to do is get the document that you would like to write the sections of, and then loop over the "Section/Entities/Requirements" of that document. One you have those elements, put a paragraph section into the loop and simply drop the display of that element into your report. See attached screenshot for example.

Hi D. Kelley,
Thanks for the details. Based on your description, you might need to change or update the SID for users. Try identity command to change the username if you never use the new username in TFS. Check this page for more information about
identities command in this
page.
You can also check the table "tbl_Identity" in the tfs_configuration database to see if the new user exists, or it has the old user. Another option is have a check on other machines to see if it works fine. Refer to links below for more information:

No Requirements Gateway Forum?

We have decided to try using NI's Requirements Gateway. We're also having some issues with it (the existing documentation is terrible once you get beyond the basic tutorial). I found some links to what looked like a forum for RG, but they all come up with errors.
Is there or will there be a forum for users of this program?

Requirements Gateway and Doors Types

No Requirements Gateway board but am working with TestStand also..
I am pulling requirements from DOORS and I need to filter out a column but I cannot find a way to check that a column is NOT empty. I already made a DOORS advanced type and I am trying to edit the requirement field to filter out a column called Interface Name. I want to only pull in the rows where Interface Name is populated. I am currently pulling in useless information where the column is empty. I tried leaving the value blank and negating it to mimic a 'not empty' concept and that did not work. Any suggestions?

Hey cframe,
You should be able to do this by specifying that the object should have an attribute of a certain name. For example, this is the DOORS module for the basic DOORS example we provide with Requirements Gateway:
And here is an example of how you could configure the Requirement field to only pull requirements which have a Priority specified:
By specifying that each requirement must have an Attribute with the name "Priority", you are configuring the type to only recognize requirements which have a Priority defined.
I hope this helps, and please let me know if you run into any trouble with it--I'd be happy to help further if this doesn't solve it.

Import the test results and doors links back to doors with NI Requirement Gateway

Hi together,
I will try to explain my problem:
We are using TestStand, DOORS and the NI Requirement Gateway.
We created a test specification in DOORS, TestStand used the DOORS IDs to connect the TestSteps in Teststand with the requirements in DOORS.
TestStand runs the test and creates XML-results, the NIRG is able to import these XML-results back to DOORS and creates a new(!!!) DOORS module, parallel to the said test spec.
This module contains some attributes like the single test steps, the results (pass,fail, whatever, ...) but now I am missing a relationship between the DOORS test specification and these results of the XML file or better, the XML-import in the new DOORS Module.
We want to manage our test results only(!) in DOORS so it should be possible to link(!) automatically the results of the XML to the DOORS TestSpec cause we are able to transfer the DOORS-IDs or other attributes (i.e.. The "un"unique NI ID#") too!
in ASCII-art:
DOORS_TestSpec -> NI_TestStand -> NI_Result -> DOORS_Result <--------- with LINKS to the DOORS_TestSpec!!!!!!!!!
Next Step is the DOORS Analyze Tool but we need the links to follow them and to show us the results.
Would be nice to know if somebody else knows the problem or perhaps someone has an other solution. Thanks for your time!
Greet

Regarding your statement "We will generate a chunk of XML-Results, so we are not able to link all the requirements by hand", are you concerned about having to update the path to the XML files each time you run the test? In this case, I would recommend creating a directory to store only the most recent report (the report path can be modified in the TestStand report options), and set the XML report project in Requirements Gateway to point to this directory. In your TestStand sequence, you could call code which moves the previous report file into a backup location so that only the newest file is in the specified directory. THis would prevent you from needing to modify the Requirements Gateway project to access the latest report; reanalyzing would reload the project with the new file. The traceability information will therefore always be up to date, and you can see that the DOORS requirements are being covered by the test results.
I agree that there is not really a good solution for importing the XML reports into DOORS, but I think you can acheive the result you are looking for using the report files directly.

Hi Juergen,
Unfortunately there is no built-in type to parse .xml excel files, only the .xls and .xlsx files are supported, as you mentioned. However, you could create a custom XML type to read this data. To do so, open the Types tab in the configuration window, and click the New XML Type button at the bottom left.
Refer to the Types topic in the Requirements Gateway help for more info on creating and customizing types.

NI Requirement Gateway Table Requirements

I am trying to pull requirements out of a *.docx table and understand that I must first create a custom type in order to perform this. As I understand I must edit the regular expression for the Requirement Type in order to parse the requirement from the Intermediate File. Where can I find this intermediate file in order to base my regular expression off of it?

Thanks,

Hi Craige,
In order to generate the intermediate file, you'll need to enable it in the Project tab of the Configuration Window (see the checkbox in the image below). Once this is selected, a folder called "Intermediate" will be created in the location of the document file, and this folder will contain the intermediate file. Once you have this file, you can paste the contents into the Text analysis zone (in the Expressions tab in Configuration) to test your regular expressions.
Hopefully this clarifies things - let me know if you have further questions!

Using Requirements Gateway with LabVIEW classes

Does anyone know how to get the NI Requirements Gateway to read coverage information from the documentation contained in a LabVIEW class (.lvclass)?
Requirements Gateway appears to load the documentation content fine from VIs, controls, .llb, .lvlib, .lvproj etc, but not .lvclass? My LabVIEW keeps crashing out when I try to point Requirements Gateway at a project with .lvclass files!
If this can't be done then is there a neat way to add requirements coverage information (you know, the "Covers: ID" field) into the class properties, or something near the class maybe, that Requirements Gateway can read?

Hi Manooch,
Thank you for your prompt reply. The example you attached, with a little alteration to include the coverage ID tag in the class documentation field, does precisely what I need, thank you. The snapshot below shows the LabVIEW class satisfying requirement 2:
However, this doesn't work in my project. I have similar content, and when I ask Requirements Gateway to analyse the project it shows nothing and then LabVIEW crashes! I'll have to try stripping my project down to the bare bones to find the problematic element. I hate it when this happens....
