A Collaborative Requirements Management Environment

As soon as teams start using Telelogic DOORS®, they quickly find that the information it makes available is invaluable. From the first requirements decomposition, DOORS provides:

• Gap analysis of unaddressed requirements.

• Graphical volatility displays that help users identify the areas of greatest change.

• Traceability analysis to help identify areas of risk.

• Point-and-click views depicting relevant data for each type of user role.

• Comprehensive, multi-level impact reports that highlight everything from the requirements to the tests that are likely to be affected by the next change.

Telelogic DOORS delivers the most comprehensive environment for Requirements Management. In a single view, DOORS can record and display requirements text, graphics, tables, requirements attributes, change bars, traceability links, and more.

Change Proposal System

As an alternative, Telelogic DOORS offers the Change Proposal System (CPS), a unique built-in change process for Requirements Management. CPS is designed as a ready-to-use, non-configurable change process that allows users to group dependent changes together, or create single changes that affect many requirements. Users can even request an e-mail be sent any time the status of their change proposal is updated.

Telelogic DOORS CPS provides a simple, ready to use change process for requirements.

Powerful Traceability Created Easily

Creating traceability with Telelogic DOORS® is as simple as drag-and-drop between items on the screen. Link a requirement to a design item or a test case, or another requirement with a click of a mouse.

DOORS makes traceability creation easy.

Alternatively, pick the requirements from a list, or even enter requirements numbers as attributes and have DOORS make the links for you. DOORS lets you define the purpose of links or add explanations with link attributes. And for projects with process improvement goals, rules for link creation and direction can be defined, which helps users follow the process and prevent careless mistakes. With the addition of link information to history records, DOORS continues to provide state-of-the-art linking and traceability capabilities to make it the world's leading requirements management and traceability solution for projects serious about success.

DOORS is unique in providing end-to-end traceability reports in a single view. Analysts and project managers can get a complete picture of traceability from user requirements through systems and software requirements to designs, tests, and implementation tasks. Click image for a full view.

DOORS also provides support for external links which enables requirements to be directly associated with information outside of the DOORS domain. As traceability needs to be traversed in both directions, DOORS provides support for URLs taking you directly to DOORS elements including Objects, Baselines, Modules, Folders, Projects or even the database as a whole. This combination of external links and URLs provides full support for traceability between DOORS information and information in other repositories.

Scalability to Address All Your Requirements Management Needs

Telelogic DOORS® has proven itself on some of the world's largest projects, in some cases managing millions of requirements and hundreds of thousands of traceability links in a single database. The familiar explorer-like hierarchy with multiple levels of both folders and projects means that no matter how big the database gets, it is still easy to manage.

Configurable views enable users to see only what is needed, allowing them to focus their effort where it is needed. Sharable documents let users work concurrently to produce a single document.

DOORS continues to offer the most comprehensive solution for all requirements management needs through innovative and unique capabilities - from Intelligent Traceability™, providing links to and from baselines, to Proactive Suspect Links which displays changes to related data within your document. With an integrated system to formally manage requirements changes and the only built-in graphical requirements tool, DOORS remains the outstanding solution for your project's requirements management needs.
