Define Analysis Rules page

Use the Define Analysis Rules page to define the priority for each of the attribute checks in a test maintenance report.

A test maintenance report is sorted by test name. Within each test name grouping, the report items are sorted by priority according to the values specified on the Define Analysis Rules page.

If the priority for an analysis category is set to 4 – Ignore, then identified impacts meeting the category criteria will not be printed in the report.

Note: Priorities are used as filters and groupings in a test maintenance report. They do not affect the actual analysis process or change what is analyzed.

The following table describes the analysis categories:
