More than a graphing tool, TraceForge™ identifies the relationships between items in your files and gives you an interactive traceability report.
- Establish bidirectional traceability
- Generate status reports on completeness of requirements, implementations, reviews, and more
- 100% user-defined identifiers and relationship schemes
- Traces any file that can be represented as text: source code, requirements, diagrams (assuming XML or other format), PDFs, CSV, spreadsheets, office docs, and more!
- Developed to fulfill aspects of ISO 26262 and other high-integrity development standards
Traceability-First Advantage
TraceForge™ is a specialized tool for traceability. It integrates with your existing tools for content generation, letting you keep existing workflows and documents. TraceForge™ focuses on traceability without the overhead of most Application Lifetime Management (ALM) systems. You don’t need to set up a server, online accounts, or manage importing / exporting your documents into specialized formats for an ALM. If you have files accessible from your desktop, you can use our TraceForge™ to establish traceability directly and locally.
A text-editable configuration file is all you need to generate your trace reports, suitable for evidence for ISO 26262, DO-178, and more. So long as your files are readable as text – or can be converted to text – TraceForge™ can examine your documents for their traceability
structure. With our TraceForge™ Viewer, readable in any web browser, you can filter the reports for greater understanding of where you may have gaps – or have the evidence you need that your traceability is complete.
Document Map: An automatically generated map showing the hierarchy between the documents (with many-to-many support)
Full Trace Table Shows all identified elements, where they show up in all scanned files, their relationships, and any anomalous situations. This table includes dynamic filters to focus on specific common traceability issues.
Syndegraph Automatically generated visual representation of the relationships between all identified elements, with full support for many-to-many relationships.
