September 6

For another year, Softacus was a Gold sponsor of SWISSED - an annual Symposium of the Swiss Systems Engineering Society, which was held on 06. September 2021 in Zurich as a hybrid event with both physical and online attendees.

We were onsite presenting the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management products - IBM DOORS Next Generation, IBM Test Management, IBM Workflow Management, and more.

It was nice talking to all participants stopping by our booth and exchanging ideas on System Engineering.

We look forward to seeing you next year again at SWISSED.

This extension is providing you the possibilities to split or merge artifacts content. The artifact content must contain at least two paragraphs

19. - 21. October

Softacus will be an exhibitor at this year's MedConf which will take place again as a hybrid event – participants can choose whether to attend the conference online or onsite in Munich from 19 – 21. October 2021.

 

We will be onsite, presenting IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management for Medical Devices (https://softacus.com/solutions/solutions-for-systems-and-software-development-for-medical-devices)

On 20. October at 16:30, Peter Shedel and Eran Grey (IBM Germany) will give a speech on the Digital Engineering of Medical Devices. (Put this link https://www.medconf.de/vortraege-2021/schedl-gery.html)

Model-driven development (MDD) and agile methods are often seen as being “at odds” with each other, especially in the world of safety-critical, high-reliability systems. MDD practitioners feel that agile is too unstructured to result in reliable and safe systems, while agile practitioners complain about doing work that isn’t directly writing or testing code. In actuality, they can be considered complementary approaches that bring their own strengths to bear for the development of high-quality software for embedded systems. Modeling brings strong notions of design, a single source of truth, traceability to other work products (such as requirements and standards), and automatic code generation. Agile methods bring incremental development, continuous testing, and a whole host of best practices for the development of software-related work products. This talk will address many of the most important agile/model-driven practices for the development of embedded software systems.

Our Presenter: Dr. Bruce Douglass of Mitre Corp.

Senior Principle Agile Systems Engineer - Mitre Corp Bruce has worked as a software developer and systems engineer in real-time systems for over 30 years and is a well-known speaker, author, and consultant in the area of real-time embedded systems. He has been on the Advisory Board of the Embedded Systems and UML World conferences where he has taught courses in systems engineering, project estimation, and scheduling, project management, object-oriented analysis and design, communications protocols, finite state machines, design patterns, and safety-critical systems design. He develops and teaches courses and consults in real-time systems and software design and project management and has done so for many years. He has done extensive consulting, specializing in real-time safety-critical systems developments, especially in the industries of aerospace, defense, medical, and automotive. He has authored articles for many journals and periodicals, especially in the real-time and embedded domain.

Thu August 26, 2021 | 09:00 AM - 10:00 AM PT

In this webinar, we will explain how product family management is carried out across the lifecycle from Systems to Software engineering. Today's complex systems are often delivered across multiple markets, budgets, and customers. This requires designing products as families, starting at the systems engineering phase and then propagated into component implementations at the software and electronic levels. This requires managing a variability concept that is integrated with the solution architecture and implementation concepts. We will explain and demonstrate how this is incorporated as part of an overall digital engineering process, across requirements, model-based analysis and design, test management, and then software implementations. We will also demonstrate how different variant configurations are maintained and synchronized with the product family assets.

Presenters: Eran Gery and Andy Lapping of IBM

Artifact Generator is an Engineering Requirements DOORS NG extension developed by Softacus, which provides possibilities to simply select artifact content and create new or update existing artifact

---

Back to extensions

Introductory explanation

This extension is an easier and more organized approach to creating artifacts, you just fill the inputs and select boxes, and hit Create button and you have the new artifact.

Currently, the extension is working in the way that every selector (dropdown, checkbox, or Textarea field) has its own position in the artifact content. Selector called “subject” has its own switch button to change the selector values from “Singular to “Plural” and vice versa, and the “Name” selector is hidden and contains the same as artifact text (content) by default. If you want to make the Name and Content of the artifact different you can select the “Make Name Different as Text” checkbox and write your own customized title for the artifact.

User Interface

Is composed of several dropdown selections and text inputs that are used for composing artifact Content and the Name of the artifact. And at the bottom, we can see two buttons that say "Create" for the creation of the artifact, and "Update" for updating the existing artifact.

 

Explanation and Understanding 

Future Possibilities

• Defining the selector options in DNG attribute data type – currently, the selector's options are hardcoded, but in order to make the extension more flexible and allow customers to customize it independent on Softacus, selectors options can be loaded from custom DNG attribute data type
• Possibility to have more languages – if you are an international company and it’s important to write your documents in different languages for you, Softacus can enhance the extension and provide you the possibility to change the extension language and in order, to that, you will be able to create an artifact in any of the world’s languages
• Change location of the newly created artifact – as mentioned, the newly created artifact is created after the selected artifact (if the artifact is selected). This functionality can be customized based on your needs – a new artifact can be created e.g. below selected (as its child), before selected...

Create Artifact – if you want to create an artifact with selected content, use the “Create Artifact” button, it will create a new artifact at the bottom of the opened module if no artifact is selected or, if the artifact is selected, after this artifact (not below).

Update Artifact – if you want to update an existing artifact you have to select it, then select Content and Name and click the “Update Artifact” button.

 

Process of generating artifact

In the picture below you can see a step-by-step creation process of the artifact. 

Setting attribute data types

 

 

Limitations

• Updating multiple artifacts – in order to that the users can accidentally select more than one artifact and update them with wrong content for some of them, Softacus recommend not implement updating multiple artifacts at once

 

Pricing:
Every Softacus Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next extension is free of charge to all customers who have purchased IBM Jazz Products via Softacus.
