Features of IBM Rational DOORS
IBM DOORS Requirements management tool in a centralized location
IBM Rational DOORS requirements management tool lets you manage requirements documents centrally for better collaboration. It provides access to editing, configuration, analysis and reporting capabilities through a desktop client. Additionally, it supports the Requirements Interchange Format, enabling suppliers and development partners to contribute requirements documents, sections or attributes that can be traced back to central requirements. Plus it records and displays requirements text, graphics, tables and more.
Test tracking toolkit and add-on
IBM Rational DOORS includes a test tracking toolkit that enables you to create links from requirements to test cases. You can define test cases, records and compare test runs. The solution ensures that all requirements are covered by test cases. The Engineering DOORS Web Access add-on provides greater functionality by offering web-based access for creating, reviewing, editing and discussing requirements held in an IBM Engineering DOORS database.
Traceability that links requirements to design items
The solution provides a drag-and-drop capability that links a requirement to a design item, a test case or another requirement. Pick requirements from a list or enter requirement numbers as attributes, and Rational DOORS will create the links for you. It offers full traceability reports in a single view to help prioritize development work and predict delivery schedule. Plus it supports external links that enable requirements to be directly associated with information outside of Engineering DOORS.
Integrations to help manage requirements changes
The solution helps you manage changes to requirements with either a simple pre-defined change proposal system or a more thorough, customizable change control workflow with Rational change management solutions, including IBM Engineering Test Management, IBM Engineering Rhapsody. It also integrates with Micro Focus (HP) QualityCenter for visibility of requirements to create test cases for traceability and with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) to create and maintain traceability.
Scalability to address your requirements management needs
Engineering DOORS offers an explorer-like hierarchy with multiple levels of folders and projects for simple navigation no matter how large the database grows. It includes configurable views and sharable documents, which enable users to work concurrently to produce a single document. The solution can scale as the project demands from small teams to complex, global projects.
Use the latest Rational DOORS solution to improve projects
IBM Engineering DOORS Next provides a scalable solution to optimize communication, collaboration and verification of requirements throughout your organization and supply chain—and improve management of project scope and cost. It uses the IBM Jazz™ Engineering Lifecycle Management platform to help you capture, trace, analyze and manage changes to requirements while maintaining compliance to regulations and standards. This solution is available on premises and in the cloud.
Extending Rational DOORS with DXL
DXL (DOORS eXtension Language) is a scripting language specially developed for Rational DOORS. DXL is used in many parts of Rational DOORS to provide key features, such as file format importers and exporters, impact and traceability analysis and inter-module linking tools. This capability of extending Rational DOORS with DXL is available to users who choose to develop their own DXL scripts. DXL can also be used to develop larger add-on packages such as CASE tool interfaces and project management tools. To the end user, DXL developed applications appear as seamless extensions to the graphical user interface. Extending Rational DOORS with DXL is for the more technical user, who sets up programs for the end-user to apply.
DXL takes many of its fundamental features from C and C++. Anyone who has written programs in these or similar programming languages should be able to use DXL.
