Synchronisation Add-on for requirements re-use

The Synchronisation Add-on for Rational DOORS was implemented by IT Power Consultants and offers mechanisms for handling variability in requirements management. They can be used as a methodical part of product lines.

By the Synchronsation Add-on common requirements are managed centrally in a Basic Module. Modules with requirements for specific products are generated automatically by passing on the common requirements to those so-called Submodules.

The consistency between Basic Module and Submodules is ensured by a synchronisation mechanism.

The Synchronisation Add-on offers you the following benefits:

• Common requirements are managed centrally
• Product specific modules inherit the requirements from the common Basic Module
• Consistency between Basic Module and derived Submodules is ensured
