Requirements can be managed either locally in Klaros-Testmanagement or in a remote system.

Local Requirements Management	By default, test managers can create, edit, and delete requirements for a project from within the project.
Remote Requirements Management	A project can also receive its requirements from an external requirement management system (RMS). If this is configured, the creation, editing and deletion of requirements can only be done via the connected RMS.

Currently Klaros-Testmanagement supports the following external requirement management systems:

Jira 4.3 or newer

A commercial issue management system produced by Atlassian Pty Ltd., see http://www.atlassian.com/.
