Features

The rtm_doorstop tool can be used to quickly build an Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) from a Doorstop tree. RTMs map product requirements to test cases, which verify that said requirements are met. They are particularly useful to quickly understand the requirement coverage and any areas deficient in quality checks.

This tool can generate RTMs that are in Markdown-compliant format, or write to a CSV file.

| UID     | Has Test | Need Test | Tests                   |
|---------|----------|-----------|-------------------------|
| REQ0001 |     True |      True | TST0001                 |
| REQ0002 |    False |     False |                         |
| REQ0003 |     True |      True | TST0003 TST0004 TST0005 |

UID,Has Test,Need Test,Tests
REQ0001,True,True,TST0001
REQ0002,False,False,
REQ0003,True,True,TST0003 TST0004 TST0005

Usage

The tool can be invoked via command line, and has one required argument: PREFIX

rtm_doorstop --prefix=PREFIX

or simply

rtm_doorstop PREFIX

Optional arguments are --root, --sort_key, and --csv_path.

Argument	Description
root	If Doorstop cannot build a valid tree from the current working directory, you can specify the path to the tree root here
sort_key	If the RTM should be sorted, you can specify the key to sort by here. Valid options are 'UID', 'Has Test', or 'Tests' When ommitted, no ordering is guaranteed.
csv_path	The filepath where the tool should save the RTM to. When omitted, the RTM is printed to console in Markdown format.

Tests are assumed to be linked to the requirements as as child links. Doorstop specifies these links in the "links" yaml key. For instance, the following test would be linked to requirement REQ046.

active: true
custom: 1
derived: false
header: ''
level: 4
links:
- REQ046: m9tMd0JM8O8idHTViqyYy1OL3dLiVY69bT63jNAGxPs=
normative: true
ref: test_yaml_encoding
reviewed: TIwopA6cvyjBMF17bB6p_RUNA7clNMaaEhXGYlAdpdk=
