Imported Data in Excel

The case study describes a business information system, which maintains business-related data within a database management system (DBMS). The case study uses three levels of requirements:

Business Requirements — overview the problem and state business goals to be achieved
High-Level Requirements — determine the chosen solution context and identify user needs (stakeholder requirements)
Detailed Requirements — specify UI, report, data import, export, or automated function capabilities, and the data dictionary

High-level requirements in Excel:

We imported all three levels of requirements in separate structured documents in ReqView via CSV format. The case study includes few UML diagrams, which we attached into the corresponding ReqView documents ReqView manually. We defined custom attributes for each additional Excel column (type, complexity, priority, source, etc.).
