DOORS Practitioner Training

Introduction

 

The DOORS® Practitioner Training Course is intended to provide advanced training needed to plan your use of the IBM Rational® DOORS® 9 Requirements Management solution. When you complete this training you will have skills that let you plan your DOORS® Project Architecture, determine how to baseline, archive and export your DOORS® data as appropriate for conducting your business.

Further, topics are revisited to improve your understanding of advanced data import concepts, using the DOORS® Forms feature and the built-in DOORS® Change Management feature.

This training culminates in a workshop wherein you will construct a DOORS® project incorporating these concepts. You will choice from among several data sets in order to address issues that align with your procedures.

Unique Features: On-line access to Web-based Course Materials

Course Structure - Topics

The DOORS® Practitioner Training experience is divided into Course Topics.

Each Course Topic presents the Topic Objectives early in the text and also summarizes the objectives following the main content for that Topic. Each Course Topic may be visited as a standalone. An experienced user can inspect any topic in order to explore Course Topic details with minimal difficulty.

A prerequisite for this course is that you have a working knowledge of the DOORS® project including many skills presented in the DOORS® Foundation Training course.

Workshop Laboratory

Following the Summary section in the Course Topic, you will find a link to the Workshop Laboratory. The Lab allows you to work through steps that recreate the content presented in the main courseware. The source material for the laboratory is accessible via download from a link on this page. Unless your workshop computer has been pre-provisioned for you, you can install these materials in minutes in order to prep for the labs. In general, the laboratories do not rely on your accomplishing previous work in other topics. The results you achieve in the lab should be comparable to the captured images presented in the main courseware.

The workshop text is laid out so that instructions appear in the left-hand half of the window, with elaboration and explanation displayed in the right-hand half (approximately) of the display window. The web content is configured to allow you to use the TAB button to walk through the steps in order. So when you accomplish a step, you can press the TAB button to advance to the next instruction. In fact, the workshop steps are embedded in the additional elaboration provided along with the screen shots in the main courseware.

 

Topic Quiz

At the end of each Course Topic, there is a link that allows you to work through an on-line quiz . You can answer questions, submit the quiz and receive a scored result. You can change the contents of that score sheet and resubmit for a revised score. Note: Those scores are not recorded anywhere.

Course Window Layout

The main courseware layout retains a left-hand frame bearing the Table of Contents and Table of Figures which are both collapsed to start, but are expandable lists.

About DOORS®

The IBM Rational® DOORS® 9 product is implemented as a client/server, where the DOORS® Database Server may be present on the same computer, or may have been installed elsewhere in your enterprise.

In addition to managing the information placed in the repository, DOORS® will among other things, provide:

  1. Multi-user simultaneous access to that database
  2. Protection to prevent simultaneous update that loses data
  3. Built in audit capture, version information and preserved baselines
  4. Traceability information between those artifacts
  5. Reporting, import and export capabilities
