The growing emphasis on governance and compliance in software and systems development increases the importance of requirements analysis, change management of requirements, and traceability from requirements through to other lifecycle artifacts such as defects, test cases, source code and UML models.

DoorKeeper for ClearQuest Change Proposal System (DK4CQ CPS) allows users to propose and commit changes to requirements stored in Telelogic DOORS® using IBM Rational ClearQuest’s record life cycle.

DoorKeeper for ClearQuest Change Proposal System is built on top of EmbeddedPlus “DoorKeeper for ClearQuest” product, which integrates the Telelogic DOORS® requirements management product with IBM Rational ClearQuest change management product.
