Key Features for Automotive Solution
- Requirements Management
-
- Gather requirements from varied sources and manage those over a browser-based platform for analysis and change control.
- Track, manage and validate complex system requirements enabling the elimination of risks that crop up with document-based systems.
- Link high level customer requirements to more detailed hardware and software system requirements ensuring validation and verification before the releases.
- Ensure correctness of requirements through task-based workflow
- Kovair’s built in versioning and impact analysis capabilities help track the granular level of changes, compare changes between the versions and facilitate in performing proactive and reactive analysis.
- Test Management
-
- Enables defining of tests based on requirements, architecture, and designs.
- Manage traceability to test cases used for safety-critical testing
- Monitor test coverage in a real-time manner
- Execute Test Cases and automatically submit Defects on the failure of a Test execution.
- Ensure quality and customer satisfaction by reducing turn-around time using the mouse click configurable business rules and task-based workflow of Kovair ALM.
- Hazard Management
-
- Kovair’s HARA (Hazard & Risk Analysis) Management allows to define and manage hazards depending on various hazard types and risk triggering events.
- Increase the efficiency and precision of ASIL values by getting them calculated automatically using the calculated fields and business rule features of Kovair ALM
- Associate every hazard with appropriate controllability, exposure and severity based on which the system automatically calculates an ASIL number and an ASIL flag to that Hazard as per the standard ASIL Determination formula.
- Allows defining and linking of Safety Goals against each Hazard. From the Safety Goals, derive the Functional Safety Requirements. Decompose the Functional Safety Requirements into Technical Safety Requirements and finally define the Hardware and Software Safety Requirements.
- Release Management
-
- Kovair Release Management allows you to design and automate customized workflows for software development lifecycle
- Allows tracking the health of each of the Release in terms of whether the Releases are Finished Early, Finished Late, Days Left, Finished on Time along with the additional information displaying the actual number of days by which a Release is late, early, on time, etc.
- Provides capability to build and present summarized information like Total number of Requirements implemented, Total No. of Open Defects, No. of Blocking Defects, No. of Verified Defects, for each of the Releases.
- Quality Assurance & Testing for the Automotive Solution
-
- Kovair ALM comes with a wide range of customizable graphical and textual reports using the data from different artifacts used in the entire lifecycle phase.
- Reports can be included in the different gadgets in various visual dashboards with drill down capabilities to monitor the KPIs and provide support in the decision-making process.
- Leverage the benefit of custom template-based word reports for generation of any compliance related documents with the click of a button significantly reducing compliance audit time and costs.
- A Dashboard can be assigned to multiple users and at the same time a user can have access to multiple dashboards depending on the privileges and access rights.
- A Dashboard can be assigned to multiple users and at the same time a user can have access to multiple dashboards depending on the privileges and access rights.
