Text-based requirements management using version control.

Project description

Introduction

Doorstop is a tool to manage the storage of textual requirements alongside source code in version control.

Each requirement item is stored as a YAML file in a designated directory. The items in each designated directory form a document. Document items can be linked to one another to form a document hierarchy. Doorstop provides mechanisms for modifying this hierarchy, checking the tree for consistency, and publishing documents in several formats.

Getting Started

Requirements

  • Python 3

  • Git or Veracity (for requirements storage)

Installation

Doorstop can be installed with pip or easy_install:

$ pip install Doorstop

After installation, Doorstop is available on the command-line:

$ doorstop --help

And the package is available under the name doorstop:

$ python
>>> import doorstop
>>> doorstop.__version__

Document Creation

Parent Document

After configuring version control, a new parent document can be created:

$ doorstop new REQ ./reqs
created: REQ (@/reqs)

Items can be added to the document and edited:

$ doorstop add REQ
added: REQ001 (@/reqs/REQ001.yml)

$ doorstop edit REQ1
opened: REQ001 (@/reqs/REQ001.yml)

Child Documents

Additional documents can be created that link to other documents:

$ doorstop new TST ./reqs/tests --parent REQ
created: TST (@/reqs/tests)

Items can be added and linked to parent items:

$ doorstop add TST
added: TST001 (@/reqs/tests/TST001.yml)

$ doorstop link TST1 REQ1
linked: TST001 (@/reqs/tests/TST001.yml) -> REQ001 (@/reqs/REQ001.yml)

Document Validation

To check a document hierarchy for consistency, run the main command:

$ doorstop
validated: REQ <- [ TST ]

Document Publishing

A text report of a document can be created:

$ doorstop publish TST
1       TST001

        Verify the foobar will foo and bar.

        Links: REQ001

Other formats are also supported:

$ doorstop publish TST --html
<h1>1 (TST001)</h1>
<p>Verify the foobar will foo and bar.</p>
<p><em>Links: REQ001</em></p>
