Does anybody have experience with drawing simple tables in DOORS objects? (DOORS 8.1)
Currently, I know three options: 1. Use DOORS tables - I don't want that, it's not suitable for me (see background of the question below). 2. Copy a Word table to Object Text (not as OLE). However, words don't wrap when table cell border is reached, and pressing "Enter" at end of cell adds a new row to the table --> not suitable for me; 3. Copy a Word table as OLE object in the DOORS object. I created a "template" table (three columns, two rows), and it turns out to be that each OLE object takes between 55 and 250 KBytes. Quite huge for an empty and small table. Since I need a couple of hunderds of objects with tables, the OLE solution is also not suitable. Any suggestions? Thanks, greets Sjors Background of the question: I created a formal module for entering test cases (linked to system requirements). I want to have one object per test case (so I can use the test tracking toolkit of DOORS). Each test case contains description, preconditions, configuration and test steps. The test steps describe the actual test itself. I would like to enter the test steps in a simple table, to keep the data readable (columns for test step number, input and result). |

Sjors,
I recommend that you don't use tables if those 3 options don't work. There is an option 4...using WEXP you can bypass the need for tables for publishing. Kev ------------------------- Kevin Murphy http://www.baselinesinc.com The Requirements Management Experts |

I call that #2 option 'RTF' tables since they resemble simple tables in the DOORS object and are composed of RTF tags. When you want to edit such a table you copy it, paste it into Word or WordPad, edit it there, then copy and paste it back.

Ok guys, thank you for the answers.
@Kevin: the reason to have a table is to make live easier for the test case engineers: when having 10 or 15 test steps, you require 20 or 30 attributes (for input and result), which is quite hard / annoying to enter in the default user interface of DOORS. One solution to this is developing a GUI with DXL for easy input. I use WEXP for publishing, and can export to a table-like format then indeed.
@Louie, I want to get rid of external editors preferably, but still, the solution should be considered... unfortunately...

Is WEXP a shareware (or freeware) program? Where can I get it ? I am using DocExpress sometimes and mostly direct export to Word from the module.
Thanks in advance. -- Krishna |
