Doorstop: Open Source Requirements Management Tool

Automate and manage your software requirements using Doorstop, an open source tool that supports document-based traceability and lightweight team collaboration

What is Doorstop?

Doorstop is an open source, cross-platform requirements management tool for software development teams. It takes a document-based approach, allowing requirements to be defined and tracked using text documents rather than a database.

Some key features of Doorstop include:

• Traceability and coverage - Links allow requirements tracing among documents. Verification confirms and tracks satisfactions.
• Version control - Readily integrates with source control to manage changes.
• Hierarchy - Documents and their sections can be nested, allowing for inheritance of settings and attributes.
• Flexibility - Minimal constraints on requirement contents, allowing documents to drive projects.
• Lightweight - Runs locally without a server or database installation.
• Customization - Configurable validation rules, templates and stamps.

Doorstop aims to streamline requirements management with minimal overhead. It is suitable for a wide range of software development projects and promotes best practices for managing specifications. The text-based approach fits well with agile processes while still facilitating tracking and oversight needs. Overall Doorstop enables better requirements engineering through a simple but flexible workflow.
