DARK features (also known as feature flags) are features not enabled by default. In easeRequirements’s case, these flags are used for features still under development or undergoing beta testing. Access to dark features can be provided by Ease Solutions Support.
The adminstration features are also available via the “hamburger” icon on the far right of the easeRequirements navigation bar.
easeRequirements Navigation Bar
Access to the easeRequirements views is provided through its own navigation bar located on the righthand side:
Tree View
The Tree View consist of two panels:
The left panel displays the project tree hierarchy.
The right panel displays the content of the item selected left panel.
There are three options for how the content in the right panel is displayed: Detail View, Reading View and Tabular View. The following icons in the navigation bar are used to select the desired display option:
Detail View
The Detail View is the default view for requirements. It includes all the information of the selected item, such as summary, description, attachments, linked issues and revisions, as well as workflow actions.
Reading View
The Reading View is the default view for folders. The view allows users to review a number of requirements together in their relevant context, as if they were reading a document.
Tabular View
The Tabular View displays the contents of the selected folder as a flat list.
Coverage View
The Coverage View provides insight into the consequences of requirement changes. It also shows how complete the coverage is. For example, the view can show whether all business requirements have corresponding system requirements. To open the view, select Coverage in the navigation bar and then select a specific view. See Coverage View to learn how views are created and managed.
Traceability View
The Traceability View provides a matrix showing the relationships between two sets of requirements. To open the view, select Coverage>Traceability and then select a specific view. See Traceability Matrix to learn how views are created and managed.
