1009: Verification Plan in Requirements Management Tool: Simple Traceability and Automated Interface to Regression Manager

Well-defined design requirements tracking workflow throughout the verification process considerably impacts the completeness of the verification effort and on-time execution of the project. Sometimes the verification plan development and documentation are considered an unnecessary overhead to the “actual” verification effort, however, it must be understood that incomplete or inconsistent design requirements mapping on the verification plan can lead to a project schedule slip, indemonstrable verification results, and missed bugs. This paper presents design requirements tracking workflow based on the Jama Connect tool, a requirements management tool from Jama, and vManager, a regression management tool from Cadence. Manual work to create the interface between these tools is minimized by two Python scripts based on Jama REST API.
