Advanced Review Support
Next Design and Lightning Review Integration
Supporting intuitive reviews of design information undergoing digital transformation
Reviews are essential for ensuring the quality of design deliverables in system and software development. It is crucial to properly record issues identified during reviews and ensure that all such issues are addressed without omission.
By integrating Next Design—the design tool developed by DENSO CREATE—with the company's review support tool Lightning Review, you can perform a seamless sequence of activities right within the design tool: reviewing design information, intuitively recording issues, addressing them, and verifying the resolution results all in one stop.
What is Next Design?
- Next Design is a next-generation design tool that allows you to drive digital transformation for design information while preserving your actual development processes.
- With a rich set of features, including product development support and traceability features, it provides advanced support for system and software design.
What is Lightning Review?
- Lightning Review is a review support tool that enables intuitive design reviews.
- Review comments are conveyed "directly" as they appear, allowing you to grasp the review status at a "glance."
Key Features
-
Easily record review comments
Operations such as adding review comments can be performed directly from the Next Design UI, allowing you to complete review logs within Next Design. You can fully utilize Lightning Review's features that support intuitive reviews, such as screen capture functionality for commented areas. Because Next Design's model structure is automatically analyzed, simply performing intuitive comment-recording operations will also automatically record the information for the commented areas, eliminating the hassle of organizing them later.
-
Review status at a glance within the design tool
Comment details are displayed directly on the screen you are designing, allowing you to see at a glance where and what kind of review comments exist. Because the number of comments and their processing status are color-coded for each piece of design information, you can get a bird's-eye view of your design deliverables' quality. Updating the review comment status in Lightning Review also updates the display in Next Design, enabling seamless review status checking. Even if review logs are split across multiple files, they can be aggregated and displayed, giving you a comprehensive overview of the entire review status.
-
Speedy reviews
By templating review viewpoints and participants in advance, you can start reviews immediately. When fixing or checking review comments, you can narrow down the display to only the comments assigned to you, allowing you to quickly find the items you need to address. After fixing a review comment, you can move to the review log screen with a single click from the design screen, making the recording of fix results fast and efficient.
