Artefact Links

Squore allows you to define links between artefacts. The links are generally created by Data Providers in your model (see the section called “Creating your own Data Providers”), and are displayed automatically in tables on the dashboard, as shown below:

Links to related requirements and tests in the scorecard of a requirement

Links in the scorecard can be clicked to navigate to the target artefact directly.

Tip

For more information about advanced display options for links, consult the section called “Scorecard Tables”.

Links are declared in the analysis model using a Links element, which accepts the following attributes:

The links shown in the picture above can be defined as follows:

<Link id="TEST" inArtefactTypes="REQUIREMENT" outArtefactTypes="TEST_CASE" />
<Link id="RELATED_REQ" inArtefactTypes="REQUIREMENT" outArtefactTypes="REQUIREMENT" />

Tip

It is not strictly necessary to declare all your link types in the analysis model. The only case when this is necessary is when you want to use a condition in the LINKS() function, which you can read about in the section called “Conditional and Level-Related Functions”.
