This site aims to provide you with the necessary expertise and tools you need to support your requirements management process using Rational DOORS™ , the world’s leading requirements management tool.
Smart DXL brings together DXL Resources to help you save time and money by working smarter with DOORS.
At Smart DXL you will find help and advice on DXL scripting and customising DOORS as well as previously undocumented information about the DXL programming language.
Even if you already write and maintain your own DXL scripts, the resources on this site can help take the some of the pain out of DXL programming by providing plug-in utilities and templates that will speed-up your DXL development.
There is a DOORS DXL discussion forum where you can post questions for other users to answer, or share your experiences.
Smart DXL was created in 2005 to provide a free reference resource for DXL programmers. This is for you, and the success of this site depends on you visting the site frequently and contributing on the forum. Only with your input will this site continue to grow. I welcome emails from anyone with suggestions or questions, although you are more likely to get a quick answer if you use the forum.
I am not a web developer and I have to do this in my spare time, so forgive me if you find that the site is not as up to date as it might be.
I hope you find this site useful.
