Change History

Rational DOORS version 9.5 includes the following new capabilities and enhancements:

    • Rational DOORS integration with Rhapsody Design Management. Use this integration for the following requirements management activities:
      • Create traceability between requirements and design artifacts.
      • Use system engineering methods to augment requirements analysis and elaboration, decomposing requirements from one level of abstraction to the next.
    • Reports for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with Rational Insight using data from Rational DOORS. This release includes improved data collection for Rational Insight: Rational DOORS custom attributes are now included in the data warehouse.
    • New IBM Rational DOORS Kit for ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 to aid teams in the automotive industry to certify their development processes and tools. Rational DOORS version 9.5 can help organizations lower their risks and costs of complying with functional safety standards IEC 61508:2010 and ISO 26262:2011. This new kit contains a Rational DOORS Tool Validation Suite, a Rational DOORS template related to ISO 26262 for use in new projects or programs, a TÜV SÜD certificate and report to the certificate, and a Safety Manual with guidance on how to configure and use Rational DOORS in safety related development. This kit applies to Rational DOORS versions 9.4, 9.4.0.1 and 9.5. More information on this kit and other Rational Solutions for compliance to ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 can be found at http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/solutions/automotive/standards/functional-safety.html. Also, see the technote Rational DOORS kit for ISO 26262 and IEC 61508.

    The principal objective of Rational DOORS version 9.5 is to provide a release vehicle for Rational DOORS Next Generation version 4.0.1. The improvements in Rational DOORS version 9.5 are consistent with those of a fix pack, and customers using Rational DOORS version 9.4.0.1 are advised to upgrade to version 9.5.0.0 for the latest fixes.
