Options and linkage functions

Link with Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems Japan Co., Ltd.

• microTRACER reads a file (.EAP) described by Enterprise Architect (EA) and can ensure the traceability.
• The traceability can trace between the deliverables such as Word, Excel and DOORS. It also can trace between each diagram in an EA file.
• microTRACER can ensure traceability of elements, connection lines, attributes, and behaviors in diagrams.Tags are described in the properties of those component objects and microTRACER traces them in individual / related tag system.

Link with DOORS

• microTRACER accomplishes traceability between the requirements in DOORS and the destination deliverables.
• It can construct traceability information by using scripts of DOORS and reading requirements within DOORS.

Link with Simulink

• Traceability can be get by reading models and state flow created by using Simulink.
• microTRACER can trace the following: Blocks, signal lines, subsystems, and comments in the model; or states, history junctions, transitions, connective junctions, and truth tables in the state flow.
• You can select subsystems and charts as trace targets from the hierarchical structure of the model.

Link with Subversion/Git

• microTRACER can read the file stored in the repository of SubVersion and build traceability information.

Link with Redmine and JIRA

• microTRACER can trace the deliverables related with the requirement management, issue managed Redmine, and JIRA ticket information.
• It supports to check if all the contents of requirement tickets and issue tickets are reflected to the deliverables and analyze the extent of the impact.
• The result of the check or analysis can be used for evidence for identifying the development document which was corrected due to a issue or problem and reviewing to make sure those are corrected.

Link with CoverageMaster winAMS

• Specify a stage of unit test with microTRACER, and target test scenario will be automatically executed. Execution status and test results are also displayed.
• microTRACER identifies affected functions from requirement change and minimizes man-hour for the regression test by testing automatically.
• To detect unexecuted function, carry out regression test for the extent of impact.

Map Management Function (Traceability Map)

For trace information in microTRACER, a trace information file is generally created for each development process, for example, between requirements and design, or between design and source code. Therefore, when one cycle of development project is completed, multiple trace information files will be created.
Defining a project allows you to unify management of its trace information files. You can define a project, phase (work cycle), and tasks (each activity) to link and manage the tasks with deliverables created by performing them. In addition, traceability between tasks can be represented as a map.
This will link works, deliverables, and trace information of a project, which allows you to manage traceability according to the progress of each process and to operate this application.
