Tracing Test Specifications Across Tools
The traceability of requirements is a key issue in developing software for electronic control units (ECUs). Tools like IBM® Rational® DOORS® support the management of any kind of requirement. The specifications for software tests are also typically handled with DOORS®.
A special integration solution couples AutomationDesk® with IBM® Rational® DOORS®. Test specification structures and parameters from DOORS® can be transferred automatically to AutomationDesk test projects. The test results from AutomationDesk are also available in DOORS®. This greatly improves traceability and coverage analysis in the software development process.
AutomationDesk DOORS® Connect&Sync Module 2.0
The connection between AutomationDesk and DOORS® is made by the AutomationDesk DOORS® Connect&Sync Module. This synchronizes the data and structures of the two tool worlds, and exchanges parameters between them. Consistency between requirements and test implementation is ensured, and efficiency is increased as DOORS® structures are transferred automatically to AutomationDesk.
Test results from AutomationDesk are displayed in DOORS®. The link between the two tools means that DOORS® always has the current state of the requirements and the associated test results, so the current quality status is available in one central document. Version 2.0 improves usability and provides a large number of new functions to connect DOORS® and AutomationDesk.
