Need

• IBM Rational DOORS is used as the Requirement Management Tool.

• The Tool is used to store artifacts like Requirements, Test Specifications and maintain the relationships between the artifacts.

• During the Project activities, a lot of operations are done on DOORS manually, which consumes lot of time.

• DXL Scripts can be developed to automate the tasks. But execution rights are limited and is not user friendly as there are no framework present.

• This Assistant provides a seem less framework to support development & execution of new DXL Scripts.

Goosebumps.

Later, the Tool lost the charm as the new DOORS NXT Gen(Jazz) replaced the Classic Doors. :(

Jazz does support Automation with more friendly Python :)
