In addition to tracking the changes directly affecting requirements linked to other model elements, you can now create your own custom suspect link configurations to keep track of the changes applied to selected model elements and their properties at the chosen end (source or target) of the specified dependencies. 

Note

A newly created suspect links configuration comes into effect immediately and overrides a configuration previously used in the project.


Suspect links tracking in the model

Customizing tracking

To create a custom suspect link configuration


  1. In the Model Browser, right-click a package to create your configuration in, and select Create Element > Class. Name it.
  2. Right-click the configuration Class, select Stereotype, and apply the «SuspectLinkConfiguration» stereotype.
  3. Open the created element's Specification window.
  4. Specify the following configuration properties:
    • Tracked Dependency Type
    • Tracked End
    • Tracked Element Type
    • Tracked Element Properties 
  5. Close the window when you are done and press F5 to refresh your project. 
    The configuration is created. Please note that it is not automatically applied to relationships that existed in the model prior to creating a configuration for suspect links tracking. In such a case, you need to start tracking links manually. 

Warning

The suspect links tracking must be enabled (Analyze > Suspect Links > Enable Tracking) in your project.
