Editing Requirements

Prior to Editing a Requirement

Prior to editing a requirement, there must be an existing project, release, and requirement that has been created in Zephyr Enterprise. The project/release must be selected and the user must be under the Requirements section within the release selected. 

Scenario: You are a testing manager in Zephyr Enterprise. As a testing manager, you want to edit an existing requirement in Release 1.0 in project Mercury.

If this is your first time managing requirements, you might want to work within a test project rather than an actual project in the system, and that way, you can work out any issues you might have with managing requirements before you work with live requirements.


1. Simply click on the individual requirement that you want to edit in the table.

2. You can change any of the fields once you click on the existing requirement.

  • Feel free to change the name of the requirement, the description, the priority level, add any attachments or change the mapping of the test cases.

Note

Once you edit or change a field, Zephyr Enterprise will automatically save your change.


3. After changing/editing any of the fields, click on the "Save" Button to finalize any changes.
