Upstream Requirements

The folder Upstream contains functional requirements that are indirectly or transitively linked to the implemented requirements. The dashboard does not use these requirements in the metrics for the unit.

Use the Requirements Toolbox™ to create or import the requirements in a requirements file (.slreqx). If a requirement does not trace to a unit, it appears in the Trace Issues folder. If a requirement does not appear in the Artifacts panel when you expect it to, see Resolve Missing Artifacts, Links, and Results.

To see how artifacts trace to units and components in your design, click Trace View in the toolstrip. In the View section of the toolstrip, click Requirement to Design to view the functional requirements that trace to the unit or component selected in the Project panel.

For more information on how the dashboard traces dependencies between project files, see Monitor Artifact Traceability and Detect Outdated Results with Digital Thread.
