Calculation macro
The calculation macro is based on the Calculations feature in the Traceability Matrix. Please feel free to read its docs to get acquainted first with the functionalities.
Use Case
The calculation’s first use is to calculate data from the requirement’s properties, for example measure the sum of estimates your project will take. Or the percentage of completion of a project based on the requirement’s status.
This calculation macro can also be as simple as adding simple operations next to your requirements (For example, measure engineering pieces vital for your requirements). And if you are familiar with our calculation syntax, add complex functions based on your requirements details and dependencies.
