The Features module can be used to keep track of features for a particular
product.
Features can be viewed at both the product and release levels, but are added at the release level, and can be at any one of the
releases for a particular product. If you want to keep a list of features that have not been allocated to a particular release yet then you can add a “not allocated” release.
Features can be allocated to individual owners. All of the features allocated to a particular user is visible from that user’s view page.
A
workflow can also be selected for each feature. When you
add the feature you can select the Standard Feature Workflow, or you can add a new workflow for features specific to your organisation.
You can associate a feature with other assets in the system to capture the dependencies (or traceability) between the feature and those assets. This is done through adding sources or dependents.
Sources are other assets that this feature is derived from, i.e. this feature can be affected if any of its sources are changed.
Dependents are other assets, for example requirements, that “depends” on this feature i.e. those assets may be affected if the details of this feature should change.
