Background/Challenge

Recently, companies are expected to be accountable for the safety of products and systems with functional safety standards such as IEC61508 and ISO26262.However, as systems are becoming larger and more complicated, it is becoming more difficult to develop perfect products.
If a problem is found in a product or system, the developer, as a company, is required to explain and prove whether it used "right ways". Also, verification by a third party or more precise quality audits is required.Among these quality audits for software, the most important element is traceability.As the functions of products are being advanced, it is unrealistic to ensure perfect traceability with manpower only. That is, traceability tools are required for the verification.

Solution

ZIPC TERAS provides an open platform for traceability tools ensuring traceability among all deliverables related to system development.

• You can generate links for existing deliverables or documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, etc.) without changing them.
• When a deliverable is changed, you can analyze and check the scope of impact immediately.
• You can also generate a "traceability matrix" acting as evidence of safety and correctness from traceability information.
• You can establish a PLM environment with affluent functions collaborating with not only ZIPC series, but also MBD tools (MATLAB/Simulink, Enterprise Architect), PM tools (TRACK, RedMine, JIRA) and SCM tools (SVN, Git).
