"DOORS/Analyst looks great. For requirements gathering and specification we typically model use cases and write the textual descriptions and non-functional requirements in separate tools. To be able to do this within one integrated tool environment would be a great leap forward in reducing the non-productive requirements work."

DOORS/Analyst key capabilities and benefits

Create rich requirements definitions through advanced visual modeling
Augment textual requirements with pictures to create richer requirement definitions.

Jump-start modeling through automatic creation of diagrams
The tool automatically creates a model from textual information, which quickly gets you up and running with the tool.

Maintain consistency through automatic synchronization
When textual information in DOORS is changed, the corresponding visual model is updated and vice versa, ensuring consistency.

Improve depiction through personalized symbols
User defined graphical symbols and pictures (bitmaps) can be used when describing systems. This enhances presentation and simplifies communication with stakeholders.

Maintain traceability through links from requirements to models
Create links from DOORS objects to UML models, navigate easily between models and requirements, and ensure full traceability.

Sustain quality through model awareness and syntactic and semantic checks
In contrast to pure drawing tools, DOORS/Analyst modeling takes place in a 'model aware' environment, which enables the tool to guide you in creating error-free models.

Stay in control by baselining models together with textual requirements
The models are stored within the DOORS requirements database removing the need to learn how to use separate applications and allowing the visual models to be 'baselined' in DOORS.

Create a Requirements-Driven Development Process together with TAU Generation2*
Any model created with DOORS/Analyst can be fully transferred to TAU/Architect, the systems engineering tool, and to TAU/Developer, the UML 2.0-based software tool, ensuring requirements compliance across teams.
