Prior to version 6, the requirement module was not that much mature, lacks many important features but from version 6, the introduction of global configuration management added many good things. now requirement analyst can develop their requirements and mange the trace-ability specific to any particular requirement version. Moreover graphical requirements can be easily developed now because of HTML5 builtin editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are couple of things which can be improved. First is the performance, if you are working in module and the size is quite large, we face lots of performance issues. also there are many issues related to arabic language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I consider quick search the strongest point in DOORS.
Traceability could be a powerful feature whether it is used taking care about complexity (several artifacts related to each other may cause unnecessary complexity). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As much as you populate DOORS with artifacts, after a period of time, could be difficult you find what information you are looking for. Depending how the Project Areas are organized in your Company, navegability can be tiring. For example:
- When you want to link an artifact to another, a window is opened and you have to navigate through entire structure of folders to find the artifact you are looking for.
- Many colleagues of mine comment about there is no baseline per artifact, just on full Project Area. Most part of time, you wish to get a snapshot of only one artifact.
- Few options to customize the export format (.pdf or .doc).
- When you have to export, if the artifact contains inserted artifacts, you have to expand all of them to assure the document exported will contain every information you need. In some cases, when you have more than two levels of traceability, it is not possible to export the third level, because DOORS only expand until the second level. So, you cannot to export in these cases.
- When you link an artifact to another, DOORS does not check if that relation already exists. So, in the tab on the right, you can observe several duplicated links.
- In the folder structure, would be possible you order by drag and drop. Today we have an alphabetic order.
- In an agile environment, I think DOORS is loosing visibility because it is a tool with a lot of features that can generate a complexity. Normally, in an agile context Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Reduced the time taken to detect the causes of bugs by 99%. Reduced system design time by more than 70%. Accelerated the time to market and the rate of innovation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There should be client API for RDNG as well so that we may do customization like we do in RTC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This software is an industry standard and allows for user requirement tracking in one interface with customers. It allows for communicating between a large number of users in different companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is not intuitive and looks old. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The following features
1. User-friendly GUI
2. Customisable dashboard and ability to manage notifications
3. Tagging and traceability -- map requirements even across different modules, documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If we do not enable filter option - loads of artefacts seen. Maybe a feature in which only the recently used artefacts are seen and the others hidden would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a versatile tool where I can plan and create almost any requirements structure I need in an easy way and fast. The traceability feature is really great, you can configure it to fit your project necesities with no problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is really difficulty to use some features like OSLC. The server performance over a distributed environment not always is good. When you don't use a default template it is not easy to create reports. The user interface scares some no tecnical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its very user friendly tool and having collaboration with test and requirement management tool.
Java API's are available for writing extensions that makes RTC more reliable tool in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some features in rtc can be achieved only through rtc eclipse client.
In SCM part very limited options available at web client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've dabbled a bit with project development and I wouldn't say you need a lot of expertise as you can easily set it up as long as you have a deep deep understanding of both requirements management and the tool or know someone who does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One huge improvement would be to have better support for distributed teams. The Rational DOORS client is terribly slow if you are not on-site with the server. Also, a better method of exchanging data between Rational DOORS servers or better yet a synchronisation method would be perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RDNG 6.0.3 has great features to manage requirements, status (work flow enabled) of each requirement is much handy for the teams.
It eases the effort with product line engineering, managing variants across products and enabling reuse of requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Thoughts behind components could have been better with access control, currently access control is at project level.
2. There are few performance issues with linking artifacts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
