Default mappings in ReqIF mapping files

ReqIF import only supports requirements and requirement documents. Other item types, such as test cases, are not supported.

When you generate a mapping file, the following ReqIF data is automatically mapped to Perforce ALM fields. The mappings are based on the ReqIF attribute longName.

ReqIF SpecObject to ALM requirements

If the ReqIF file contains multiple attributes that could be mapped to the ALM Description field, the attribute used for the default mapping is based on following priority:

  • ReqIF.Description
  • ReqIF.Text
  • ReqIF.Name
ReqIF attribute longName ReqIF attribute type Mapped to ALM field ALM field code
ReqIF.Description XHTML Description RQDSC
ReqIF.Text XHTML Description RQDSC
ReqIF.Name XHTML Description RQDSC
ReqIF.ChapterName string Summary RQSUM

ReqIF specification to ALM requirement documents

ReqIF attribute longName ReqIF attribute type Mapped to ALM field ALM field code
ReqIF.Name XHTML Name RDNAM
ReqIF.Description XHTML Description RDDSC

If the ReqIF file contains both ReqIF.Name and ReqIF.Description, ReqIF.Name is used for the default mapping.
