Requirements Settings - Verification Methods

If you have the Verifications and Validations Module active, the definition of your Verification Methods is done there and not in the overall Settings.

The default verification methods available when the deployment is created are Analysis, Inspection, Review, Rules, and Test. Note that each verification method has its closeout references. A closeout reference in Requirements & Systems Portal means the references that verify or prove the verification method. The current closeout references available in Requirements & Systems Portal are:

Closeout references

Meaning

Analysis

Adding an analysis document from the Analyses Module.

Upload

Attaching documents/models as references to the verification method.

Manual

As the name says, it manually changes the status of the verification method.

Rules

Using the boolean comparison to compare the current design property with the requirement’s property.

Test

Adding the test procedure and doing automatic verification whenever the test runs are performed.

Here’s what the default verification methods with their default closeout references are shown in the Figure Verification Method Options. The user can change the closeout references to the default ones and also create a verification method with their closeout references.

For example, the user would like to add a new verification method, “Script”, with the closeout reference “Upload”. Within the verification method settings, on the right side corner, click on “+” and add the name, abbreviation and the closeout reference as shown in the video below:
