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]

Features

DOORS is designed to ease the requirements management process with a variety of features:

  • Using a web browser, you can access your requirements database through Rational DOORS Web Access.
  • You can manage changes to requirements 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, you can directly involve suppliers and development partners in the development process.
  • You can link requirements to design items, test plans, test cases, and other requirements for easy and powerful traceability.
  • Business users, marketing, suppliers, systems engineers, and business analysts can collaborate directly through requirements discussions.
  • Your testers can link requirements to test cases using the Test Tracking Toolkit for manual test environments.
  • You can use the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) specifications for requirements management, change management, and quality management to integrate with systems and software lifecycle tools.
  • You can integrate 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]
