Overview


Introduction

Telelogic DOORS is a tool for creating, structuring and managing complex sets of requirements, such as those for a typical software development project. The objective of the DOORS Integration is to make an up-to-date view of SDL Suite and TTCN Suite project development information available in DOORS.

The functionality of DOORS can then be used to carry out tasks involving requirement traceability and impact analysis. For instance, you can use DOORS to link requirement documents to SDL and TTCN Suite information.

Users are required to have a working knowledge of both DOORS and the SDL or TTCN Suite.

The integration works with DOORS version 4.0 or later, and SDL and TTCN Suites version 4.1 or later, on all platforms supported by the SDL Suite.

Main Functionality

The main functionality of the DOORS Integration is to export diagram/document information, from the SDL and TTCN Suites to DOORS. The structure in the Organizer is duplicated in a DOORS formal module, which represents the Organizer objects in a "surrogate" module.

The objects in a surrogate module are organized hierarchically in the same way as the corresponding objects in the Organizer.

When the surrogate module is created, two views will be created:

Surrogate modules can be used just like any other DOORS module, but be careful not to delete or add any objects as this may cause the synchronization procedure to fail. You can link objects in the surrogate module to objects in other modules, you can create your own views and you can exploit the power of DOORS traceability tools.
