Technical solution

Solution is based on MantisBT custom fields feature. In plugin configuration, user must select/configure :

• Two custom fields of type STRING :
  • One for requirement identifier
  • One for test identifier
• Issue status threshold to warn about undefined requirement
• Issue status threshold to warn about undefined test
• Identifier delimiter in case of requirement / test identifier list
