Leading class versioning and configuration management of requirements

– Fully supports existing RRC and RDNG data

• Both with and without Configuration Management

Significant use case enablement

– Parallel streams of requirements without having to make copies

– Basic variation – e.g. streams for different geographical areas or products in a product line

– Comparison across streams

– Conflict detection and resolution

– Change sets for bundling and tracking changes

– Change management of your requirements in one stream or many

– Manage your requirements data in a global configuration with your models, test cases, code, etc

Requirements Configuration Management


Configuration

– A group of things at particular versions

Baseline

– State of things at some point in time (Immutable)

Stream

– Mutable configuration (eg: release 2.1, where users are making changes)

Local Configuration

– Configuration local to a tool (RM, QM etc)

Global Configuration

– Points to 1 or more Local Configurations

Configuration Management: Terms


Compare and merge

As we hit milestones and changes are accepted we can compare what has changed and deliver to difference configurations

Project folder content

Wrapped resources

Artifact compare

Module compare

Conflict resolution still work in progress but is expected


Broadening the scope to the whole lifecycle

Extend the efficiencies of configuration management to both the RM & QM disciplines

Configuration Management in RDNG

Configuration Management in RQM


2014

Configuration Management support across CLM

• Create and manage cross-domain Global Configurations (Streams or Baselines)

• Local domain specific configurations contributes to Global Configurations

• Link and navigate across domains in the right Global Configuration context

• Create all team deliverables in a Global Configuration context

• Add a version and variant dimension to the entire development lifecycle

Health


64bit client

Currently possible for DOORS to consume significant amounts of memory when using complex data sets

– DOORS 9.x as normal 32 bit application can only use 2GB of memory.

– Some of the large Modules require more than 2GB in DOORS 9.x.

64 bit DOORS 9.x client can use all the extended physical memory without limits

– Can have a mixed environment of 32&64 bit clients

– Improved on Performance due to the benefits of 64 bit architecture

– Memory foot print is higher but enables extended memory availability to application beyond what 32 bit client was capable of.


Usability and Productivity

Modules

• Configurable refresh rate for layout columns

• Option to display links in their own column

Database

– Finer control of when to generate suspicion on a requirement

– Remembering size and position of windows

– DOORS database explorer to support filtering


Direct linking with OSLC

• OSLC to provide the ability to link directly between two databases, DOORS 9 and DOORS Next Generation

• Traceability columns in both systems

Exchange of data with ReqIF

• Supporting the supply chain with main project data in DOORS 9 and suppliers using DOORS Next Generation

Two Interoperation scenarios between DOORS 9 and DOORS Next Generation
