Requirements management using version control.
Project description
Overview
Doorstop is a requirements management tool that facilitates the storage of textual requirements alongside source code in version control.
When a project leverages this tool, each linkable item (requirement, test case, etc.) is stored as a YAML file in a designated directory. The items in each directory form a document. The relationship between documents forms a tree hierarchy. Doorstop provides mechanisms for modifying this tree, validating item traceability, and publishing documents in several formats.
Doorstop is under active development and we welcome contributions. The project is licensed as LGPLv3. To report a problem or a security vulnerability please raise an issue. Additional references:
