Hi,
Is there a way to assign requirement to test plan instead test case?

Re: assign requirement to test plan
Depends on what you are asking for.
If you are asking for a way to logically map a requirement directly to the Test Plan object itself, then your answer is no.
And I don't think that would be a good idea. Assigning a requirement to a test plan would be ambiguous.
For example:
One requirement assigned to a test plan with 30 test cases.
Is the requirement met when *every* test case in the plan is passed? Or is the requirement met when *some* of the test cases are met? It would mean different things to different people and it could get very complicated.
Now maybe you are just asking for a way to bulk assign a requirement(s) to every test case that currently exists in a test plan. If all your Test Cases for your Test Plan are logically grouped into a few number of Test Suites, then it is easy. In the "Assign Requirements" page click the Test Suite (folder), and then check off the requirements to map. Then the requirement(s) are now mapped to every Test Case in that Test Suite.
If the test cases are mixed and spread throughout different test suties, then it is more difficult. You must manually look at the test plan and see what tests are in there. Then manually select those test cases in the "Assign Requirements" page. A nice to have feature would be in the "Assign Requirements" page, a filter option that could filter tests cases by Test Plan. Then it would be easier to find the test cases that belong to a test plan.
