Using Rational XDE with RequisitePro
The RequisitePro-XDE integration lets you combine the use-case modeling and
application design capabilities of XDE with requirements management capabilities in
RequisitePro.
You can define your use cases by integrating Unified Modeling Language diagrams in
XDE and Microsoft Word documents in RequisitePro. You can assign attributes and
traceability to your use cases in order to manage your use cases in the context of the
requirements. In addition, you can trace your requirements in RequisitePro to your
design in XDE in order to better understand the impact that requirement change will
have on your design.
The use-case modeling capabilities of this integration are similar to those of Integrated
Use Case Management, which integrates RequisitePro and Rational Rose. You can
migrate use-case associations in a Rose model when you upgrade the model to an
XDE model.
