Description
Represents a traceability association between two requirements.
Remarks
Get a Trace object from the ReqTraceFactory pointed to by the Req .ReqTraceFactory Property of a requirement.
When creating the Trace object with the AddItem method, the direction of the trace is specified. If the direction is from the Req whose factory is used, the the Trace is created with the initiating Req in the FromReq. If the direction is to the initiating Req, the Trace is created with the initiating Req in the ToReq Property.
After the Trace is created, set the TracedReq property to the second Req. When you set TracedReq, the Trace object sets either FromReq or ToReq to point to the second Req. Which property is set depends on the direction of the Trace.
