Aldec Streamlines Management of DO-254 Validation and Verification with Spec-TRACER™ Date: Feb 2, 2016 Type: ReleaseHenderson, NV – February 2, 2016 – Aldec, Inc., today announces the latest release of its requirements lifecycle management solution for FPGAs/SoCs, Spec-TRACER™ 2015.12. This release provides users the necessary features and capabilities for systematically managing Validation and Verification (V & V) data and artifacts of large and complex FPGA/SoC DO-254 projects. “Organizations developing FPGAs/SoCs for DO-254 compliance have to produce an extensive amount of V & V data and artifacts,” said Louie De Luna, DO-254 Program Manager. “Data creation and management of this magnitude can get chaotic without a systematic approach and can result in significant project delays.” The latest Spec-TRACER release delivers new advanced features, reference projects, designs, video tutorials (to enable users to easily implement and enforce requirements management), traceability, tests management, and project management for managing V & V data and artifacts. To learn more, register for Aldec’s upcoming webinar, Efficient Management of DO-254 Validation and Verification. Spec-TRACER 2015.12 New Features, Sample Projects and Video Tutorials The Parsers supports automatic capture of data and traceability based on regular expressions from .doc, docx, .vhd, .v, .sv, .psl and IBM® Rational® DOORS® objects. Import from DOORS and export to DOORS based on filter Views of DOORS formal modules. The functionality allows limiting number of objects imported from DOORS and exported to DOORS. The new Audio System sample project is the base for the new Traceability Tutorial using Parsers which presents how to build traceability from different sources by using Spec-TRACER parsers. New included video tutorials include how to build traceability, create projects and conduct impact analysis. About Spec-TRACER™ Spec-TRACER is a unified requirements lifecycle management application designed to facilitate a requirements-based FPGA/SoC design and verification process. Spec-TRACER facilitates requirements capture, management, analysis, traceability, tests management and reporting. Spec-TRACER seamlessly integrates with windows-based simulation tools.
