ReqTracer for tracking FPGA requirements

The ability to fully track and manage design requirements from specification to implementation and verification is, in fact, an effective management of the FPGA project. FPGA requirements tracking with ReqTracer facilitates the implementation of a requirements-oriented design flow, allowing project teams to focus on their implementation and verification work for maximum efficiency. It is only when the functionality and verification results fully meet the requirements that a project is complete and the team can safely send the product to its implementation.

This flow is beneficial for all projects, but particularly necessary in safety-critical applications and mandatory for DO-254 and ISO 26262 certification, where product failure could result in injury or fatality. ReqTracer collects, manages and tracks requirements from multiple sources throughout the design process. It also provides automatic documentation and reports at any stage and manages the impact of changes to requirements, resulting in better control and predictability of design programs and improved overall product quality.
