What is a "Relationship Tree" of a use case, and how do I use it?

This help article is outdated. Please see the following help article: "What is an "Upstream/Downstream Tree", and how do I use it?"

A Relationship Tree of a use case displays all other use cases that are connected to it via a direct or indirect relationship.

To view the Relationship Tree of a use case:

  1. Go to "Use Case Details" page of the desired use case. (How do I do this?)
  2. Scroll down to Related Use Cases  section, and click "Relationship Tree" button.
  3. The resulting page displays the relationship tree of this use case.

The Relationship Tree enables you to achieve Use Cases Traceability - i.e. trace how a use case relates to other use cases. This in turn enables your team to:

  • Assess how each use case impacts other use cases, and perform impact analysis.
  • Ensure use cases coverage.
  • Avoid mistakenly omitted use cases which lead to missing functionality and/or cause shortcomings.
