What test software advancements in aerospace may be applied to the automotive sector?
Requirements-based verification is becoming increasingly important, as this technology ties all the aspects of software verification and test into an automated process. Through requirements traceability, analysts and project managers can see a complete picture of traceability from software requirements to design, code, test specifications, and test results. Advanced areas include the ability for users to be able to create and link software verification plans and reports between requirements and all verification activities. This leads to the ability to be able to scale requirements management for projects of all sizes and foster more of a systems engineering approach to software verification and test. The flow-down of requirements from multiple sources including requirement management tools such as Telelogic DOORS, IBM Rational Requisite Pro, Microsoft Word documents, and spreadsheets via a bidirectional link is a concept that brings together technologies that previously had been manual
