Type System Consistency Check (Consultancy Package)

Introduction

Managing complex configurations in DOORS Next can be a significant challenge for even the most experienced teams. To help organizations maintain a clean and consistent setup, our Type System Consistency Check offers an expert-led, data-driven service focused on uncovering and resolving structural inconsistencies in your project configurations.

Problem Statement

Hidden Inconsistencies in Your DOORS Next Type System

Even experienced teams can struggle to keep their DOORS Next configuration clean and consistent over time. Common problems include:

Duplicate attribute names with conflicting URIs across components
Link types that are reused inconsistently or lack semantic clarity
Enumeration lists that diverge in values or structure
Fragmentation of type definitions that hinders reporting, reuse, and ReqIF exports

These issues are often invisible to users — until they cause trouble in integrations, compliance reporting, or collaborative work across projects.

Solution

Expert-Guided Type System Health Check

Our DOORS Next Type System Consistency Check is a targeted consulting service that analyzes your current project configuration, identifies inconsistencies, and provides clear guidance for resolution.

Using our purpose-built Python script that connects to the DOORS Next OSLC API, we extract and analyze:

Attribute definitions and their URIs
Enumeration types and value alignment
Link type usage and conflicts

Cross-component consistency of the type system
