Update the IBM DOORS requirements database across all system levels (System, Sub-System and Component level):
​
-
Maintain the Requirements Management Plan (ReMP) Document
-
Generate change requests/issues on Atlassian-JIRA
-
Requirement text
-
Requirement attributes (e.g. Compliance assessment, Verification data, Verification method, System variant, tracking numbers, etc...)
-
Requirements traceability (in-links & out-links)
-
Module views
-
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects
-
The embedded object often included MagicDraw/Cameo model exports:
-

BAE Systems:
​
-
Test armored vehicle’s touchscreen functions on simulator. Record transmitted data and assess requirements compliance.
-
Review data received from the test group and assess requirements compliance.
-
Perform Black Box testing for armored vehicle’s fire extinguishing system’s (user control panel, sensors, and extinguisher simulators).
Pratt & Whitney – NGPF Engines:
​
-
Perform rapid prototyping using proprietary scripting to verify Simulink model performance across operational environments.
BAE Systems:
-
Develop Requirements Verification Method, Production Verification Details, Method of tests, Pass/Fail criteria.
-
Write Acceptance Test Plans for armored vehicle’s fire extinguishing system.
-
Review test procedures with test group to guarantee that requirement compliance is adequately assessed.
