LIVE WEBINAR: Satisfy FPGA traceability requirements for DO-254 with Spec-TRACER™ and IBM® Requirements Engineering DOORS® Next (EU)

Presenter: Janusz Kitel, DO-254 Program Manager at Aldec

Abstract: 

For DO-254 compliant FPGA designs, hardware engineers need to ensure that traceability is established between all project artifacts starting from hardware requirements all the way down to the source code and test results. According to the ARP4754A, system engineers have to maintain the relationships between system, hardware and software requirements, and they typically use Requirements Management solutions such as IBM® Requirements Engineering DOORS® Next. Unfortunately the FPGA design artifacts such as detailed design, test benches and verification results are not included in the traceability matrix and they are not maintained in DOORS Next. This makes it a huge challenge to meet the DO-254 requirements for traceability.

During this presentation we will show how to manage this traceability and address the underlying challenges by using Spec-TRACER and its direct integration with IBM® Requirements Engineering DOORS® Next.

Agenda:

• Traceability for DO-254 projects
• Traceability between requirements, test cases and test procedures
• Traceability to design, testbench and verification results
• Impact and coverage analysis
• Spec-TRACER™ with DOORS® Next integration
• Demo
