ReqTracer - Managing requirements in your design flow

The ability to completely trace and manage design requirements from specification through implementation and verification is simply “good project management”. ReqTracer facilitates the deployment of a requirements-driven design flow, while allowing project teams to focus on their implementation and verification work for maximum efficiency. It is only when functionality and verification results fully meet the requirements, that a project is complete and the project team can confidently put the product into production.

DO-254 & ISO 26262

This flow is beneficial to all projects, but especially needed in safety-critical applications and mandatory for DO-254 and ISO 26262 certification, where product failure could result in injuries or fatalities. ReqTracer links, manages, and tracks requirements from multiple sources throughout the design process. It also provides automated documentation and reports at any stage and manages the impact of requirement changes, resulting in better control and predictability of design schedules and improved overall product quality.

Safety-critical design

Safety-critical design means “the design requirements exactly match the verified implementation”. ReqTracer can provide the proof needed to deliver end products that meet these requirements and automate requirement traceability for DO-254 certification or ISO 26262 compliance. Clear, top-down and bottom-up traceability proves verified requirements, traceability of ECOs, and confirms that changes were fully implemented and validated. Associated reports ensure successful audits and reviews.
