Telelogic has shipped Doors 7.1, the latest version of
its requirements management software, which features a toolkit to
tailor the product to smaller companies.
Doors traces and analyses changes to information to ensure a
project’s compliance to specified requirements and standards. While
Doors has been favoured for defence and aerospace applications, new
mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley have resulted in the product being
deployed in more general business applications.
Included in Version 7.1 is a Test Tracking Toolkit for smaller
companies. The toolkit provides a testing environment for fewer
test cases than what has been the norm in Doors, with the kit
providing for hundreds to approximately 1,000 cases. A test case is
used to determine if software meets a particular requirement.
Also featured is document collaboration, in which documents can
be compared side by side, with differences highlighted via a
“redline” feature.
To boost productivity, multiple properties of each requirement
can be produced inside of Doors, within a single view.
Doors 7.1 also adds platform support for Windows 2003 Server,
and it can share requirements with tools such as Microsoft Excel.
Pricing for Doors 7.1 is $2,200 for a node-locked implementation
and $5,500 for a floating version.
