DOORS import to EA - requirements traceability

[ijv]

Hi All,

I'm trying to import requirements from DOORS, the requirements import fine, but I'm losing the requirements traceability links between DOORS modules.

Is there any way to do this in EA?

Thanks,
ijv

Hi,

as far as I remember the traceability between DOORS modules is stored in an doors attribut.

If so you can configure to use the attribut in EA (EA configuration of the Addin).

If this information isn't stored in an DOORS Attribut you may write a DXL script  to write this information into an DOORS attribute.

Sorry it's some years ago I've worked with DOORS.

The add-in does not handle links defined between requirements in DOORS.  They are not currently imported.

Is there anyway around this, or do you have to reconstruct the linkages in EA manually?

Hi,


as I mentioned:
- Write a DOORS DXL script to put the linkage information into an DOORS Attribute
- Include the DOORS attribute to the list of imported attributes in EA
- Write an EA Script to create dependencies inside EA from the attribute information

I did something along these lines some 2 years ago. It's well feasible but takes some effort. Especially transferring character codes correctly has been quite tricky. Further conversion of RTF-formats was not that easy. We decided to forbid tables in DOORS (which is anyway a good idea).

We have developed a platform to send content from data sources into and out of EA. This could be done using that platform. See this link and contact me via PM if you would like to give it a shot.
