Calculate progress of Requirement by Sub-Test-Case Template

There is a Progress field for every Requirement for indicating how much the Requirement has been fulfilled. Initially, the progress of Requirement is calculated as the accumulated progress of all Sub-Activities, Sub-Requirements and Sub-Test Case Templates. To make the Requirement able to control the progress itself rather than relying on any sub-resources, open any of the Activities, Sub-Requirements or Test Case Templates section below a Requirement. Un-press Calculate progress by Activities, Sub-Requirements and Test-Case Templates.
