Doorstop – requirements management tool

Last Updated on February 21, 2022

Doorstop is a requirements management tool that facilitates the storage of textual requirements alongside source code in version control.

Each linkable item (requirement, test case, etc.) is stored as a YAML file in a designated directory. The items in each directory form a document. The relationship between documents forms a tree hierarchy. Doorstop provides mechanisms for modifying this tree, validating item traceability, and publishing documents in several formats.

Doorstop is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Can be run as a standalone web server.
• Command-line interface. There is also an experimental desktop graphical interface (GUI) is available as a way to perform basic editing tasks
