Requirements Tools - DOORS

We use IBM Rational® DOORS® to manage customers' specifications. Requirements are initially captured using best practice templates and exported from Microsoft Word to DOORS to create a working document.

Links created between items in DOORS prove completeness of the specifications and allow change to be managed.

Furthermore, TraceIT® tracer links requirements in DOORS to model elements in IBM Rational Rhapsody® allowing traceability from requirements to code.

TraceIT®, our competitively priced suite of tools, includes:

  • A facility to export DOORS-based specifications to Microsoft Word
  • A tool which links requirements in DOORS to implementation artefacts in Rhapsody

Full traceability ensures built in compliance with medical device regulations and ensures completeness.

By integrating DOORS with a change management system we enable the controlled evolution of change for engineered products. Our system implements electronic signatures that meet the security requirements of 21 CFR 11, the standard used by the FDA.

We can help our customers to produce and manage their requirements specifications using DOORS or we can provide paper-based solutions with the assurance that the documentation is founded on the accuracy and flexibility allowed by the DOORS database.

TraceIT® exporter allows documentation appropriate to a customer's quality system and company style to be produced from the developed specifications.
