Rational Dynamic Object Oriented Requirements System (DOORS) (formerly Telelogic DOORS) is a requirement 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.

Rational DOORS has its own programming language called DOORS eXtension Language (DXL).[5]

Rational DOORS Next Generation 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, Rational DOORS 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]

History[]

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[]

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 Rational 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 Rational change management solutions.
  • 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 Rational tools, including Rational Team Concert, RationalQuality Manager, Rational DOORS Next Generation, Rational Rhapsody®, Jazz™ Reporting Service, and Rational System Architect, and also many third-party tools, providing a comprehensive traceability solution.[9]
