Integrated Requirements Management and
Traceability
Rhapsody is a completely integrated requirements management
and traceability solution. No matter how complex the
project, the integrated requirements modeling capability
allows users full coverage of
- requirements capture,
- requirements traceability and
- requirements analysis.
Requirements are captured using SysML Requirements
Diagrams, Use Case Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, Activity
Diagrams, and Statecharts.
Second, requirements traceability is realized by
Rhapsody’s ability to create traceability links from
the model to the requirements, automatically creating
traceability documentation.
Rhapsody lets engineers and designers create
SysML diagrams for model-based requirements.
Third,
Rhapsody Gateway presents a detailed view of
requirements traceability information to the engineer using
an easy to use interface. Further detailed analysis of the
requirements traceability information can be performed
using Rhapsody Gateway. Designers can see the upstream and
downstream impact of requirements on any level and view
model or requirements changes graphically in a flexible,
adaptable format that works with the user’s own
process.
Using the Rhapsody Gateway tool, change impact is
highlighted
and clearly portrayed for easy understanding.
The
Rhapsody Gateway has an innovative requirements management
component designed to provide a seamless bi-directional
interface to the 3rd party requirements management tools
already in the user’s hands, including working with
DOORS, Requisite Pro, Word and
Excel. The
Gateway is a complete traceability solution that allows
users to link Rhapsody with the original requirements,
allowing them to view and analyze coverage of these
requirements and examine the upstream and downstream
impacts that the requirements changes have made, in
real-time, at any level of the design.
