Type System Consistency Check
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
