The general process for using IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® with IBM Rational DOORS® is
as follows:
Procedure
Set up a project within Rational DOORS.
Capture requirements and other design information
in Rational DOORS.
Note:Rational DOORS is
the owner of the requirements. If you need to make changes to requirements,
make them in Rational DOORS.
Capture the high-level use cases, structure,
sequences, and behavior of the system in Rational Rhapsody.
Select elements from the Rational Rhapsody model
that you want to trace to elements in Rational DOORS.
Export the selected elements as shadow copies
to the Rational DOORS database.
Navigate to the exported elements in Rational DOORS from
the Rational Rhapsody browser.
Create links within Rational DOORS between
the requirements and shadow copies.
Run the Check tool to verify the consistency
of shadows in the Rational DOORS database
with elements in the Rational Rhapsody repository
and the completeness of the links between the two.
Navigate from the Rational DOORS database
to the respective elements in Rational Rhapsody,
as wanted.
