IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (Dynamic Object Oriented Requirements System) (formerly Telelogic DOORS, then Rational DOORS) is a requirements management tool.[4] It is a client–server application, with a Windows-only client and servers for Linux, Windows, and Solaris. There is also a web client, DOORS Web Access.
IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Family has its own programming language called DOORS eXtension Language (DXL).[5]
IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next is now developed on the IBM Jazz platform. The Jazz platform uses Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC).[6]
In order to complete its functionality, IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next has an open architecture that supports third-party plugins.
DOORS was originally published by Quality Systems and Software Ltd (QSS) in 1991.[7] Telelogic acquired QSS in mid-2000[8] and IBM acquired Telelogic in 2008.
History
[edit]DOORS was created by Dr Richard Stevens, a researcher through the 1970's and 1980's at the European Space Agency's Research Institute (ESRIN). The first version was provided to the UK Ministry of Defence in 1991-2. The first commercial version was released in 1993.[7]
Features
[edit]DOORS is designed to ease the requirements management process with a variety of features:
- The requirements database can be accessed with a web browser through DOORS Web Access.
- Changes to requirements can be managed with either a simple predefined change proposal system or a more thorough, customizable change control workflow through integration to IBM change management solutions.[clarification needed]
- With the Requirements Interchange Format, suppliers and development partners can be directly involved in the development process.
- Requirements to design items, test plans, test cases, and other requirements can be linked for easy and powerful traceability.
- Business users, marketing, suppliers, systems engineers, and business analysts can collaborate directly through requirements discussions.
- Testers can link requirements to test cases using the Test Tracking Toolkit for manual test environments.
- Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) can be used for specifications for requirements management, change management, and quality management to integrate with systems and software lifecycle tools.
- Can be integrated with other IBM tools, including IBM Engineering Workflow Management, IBM Engineering Test Management, IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody, Jazz™ Reporting Service, and also many third-party tools, providing a comprehensive traceability solution.[9]
