Traceability in Smart Card Applications using Doors

Abstract

Present article discusses about the traceability in smart cards applications using DOORS. Traceability can be defined as the ability to describe and follow the life of a requirement, in both a forward and backward direction, i.e., from its origins, through its development and specification, to its subsequent deployment and use, and through periods of on-going refinement and iteration in any of these phases.

DOORS lets user link together related information. User can follow the links by clicking on them. For example, user can link a user requirement to the design features that fulfill that requirement. And user can link the design features to the tests that are carried out to verify the design features. Requirements traceability refers to the ability to define, capture and follow the traces left by requirements on other elements of the software development environment and the trace left by those elements on requirements.
