Requirements Traceability
Many software organizations, especially those building safety or mission critical applications,
have established formalized software requirements tracking systems, as part of their development process. Being able
to concisely describe the required functionality of a software application, obviously makes the job of implementing,
and testing, the application easier. The challenge however, is to ensure that all of the requirements have been tested
as part of the Unit, Integration, or System Testing activities.
The VectorCAST/Requirements Gateway enables exactly that.
The requirements gateway, allows VectorCAST to be integrated with commercial requirements tracking tools, such as DOORS®,
to enable a correlation between software requirements, and the test cases that prove those requirements have been met.
The Requirements Gateway, is a bi-directional interface, which allows requirements information to flow from the requirements
tool to VectorCAST, and VectorCAST information regarding pass/fail status, and code coverage, to flow back to the requirements tool.
