Designed to capture and manage business, technical, functional, and operational requirements, CaliberRM enables stakeholders across the organization to collaborate effectively so that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to specification.

Using CaliberRM to define, prioritize, and track requirements throughout the project lifecycle, software development teams are able to respond rapidly to ever-changing requirements without jeopardizing project success.

Powerful estimation capabilities take project planning and impact analysis to a new level, helping organizations optimize the software delivery process by delivering projects with greater predictability and control.

• Vitech Corporation is a leading provider of model-based systems engineering and DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) solutions through our CORE software suite and consulting services. The CORE environment synchronizes system requirements, behavioral models, architectures, and design solutions with system specifications and test procedures. The resulting integrated executable architecture can be simulated using COREsim, our discrete event simulator to gain insight into potential performance issues enabling better risk and contingency management for any size project.

Requirements provide the foundation that drives the entire development process. MacA&D and WinA&D provide an integrated solution to identify, specify, track and manage requirements.                                                               

Uniquely Identified Requirements Each requirement entry is uniquely named and defined. The entry name dialog helps to enforce a user-defined naming convention. Requirement entries can be grouped together and displayed as either a flat entry list or in a hierarchical tree structure. Users can zoom in and out of the tree structure or show and hide larger groups of entries partitioned into namespaces.

User Defined Entry Structure User-defined definition templates help developers capture a structured collection of fields in each requirement entry. Typical fields include Status, Priority, Author, Date, Assigned, Category, Effort, Summary and Description. Developers can define the field type and selection lists making data entry fast and accurate.

Views and Queries The Requirement Matrix presents requirement information in a spreadsheet-like interface using views and queries. A collection of column names is referred to as a view, while a query specifies a collection of rows. The selected view determines which fields of the entry are displayed in each column of the matrix. The selected query displays each entry satisfying the query criteria as one row in the matrix. In addition to the standard views and queries provided, custom views and queries can easily be configured.

Generating Reports and Sharing Data Standard HTML reports nicely format requirement data for printing or sharing with other developers. With the scriptable report generator, every piece of data is available for generating customized reports. Requirements can be imported and exported as tab delimited, comma delimited or DIF text files. Data can be shared with other applications like spreadsheets, project management or scheduling programs.

Traceability Users can concurrently edit separate product and system requirement documents and link entries between documents. Requirement entries can also be linked to models, text specifications, code files, test procedures and documents created with other applications.

MKS Requirements 2005 core capabilities for requirements management:Built as an extension of MKS Integrity Manager's process and workflow engine, driving down total cost of ownership and facilitating collaboration between business users and developers through the use of a common tool; Flexible and powerful workflow with approval cycles spanning business and development teams; Single repository with audit trails maintains a history of requirements and all changes over time; Clear and visible connection between development artifacts such as source code and documentation and associated requirements via change packages in support of IT auditing and compliance initiatives; Automatic triggering of "suspect" requirements and development tasks shows real time impact of requirements change between business users and developers; Integration with Microsoft Word allowing business users to use familiar authoring tools to build requirements for import into MKS Requirements 2005; Hierarchical structure and presentation of requirements provides logical organization, trace-ability and impact analysis of requirements change; Historical reporting provides project managers with a view on how a single requirement or the entire project has changed over time or view the delta of change between any two points in time; and Powerful querying, charting and reporting for team communication and senior management visibility.

The Profesy Suite™, now in its 5th release, puts the Customer and Business Analyst at the centre of the development process, by allowing them to collaboratively develop, verify, simulate, validate and test their requirements in business terms, all before a single line of code has been developed. Profesy™ is the first software development communications platform to implement the new paradigm of Customer Oriented Software Development™ (COSD™).

Profesy allowed a Fortune 500 corporation to achieve 285% ROI, and a payback against the initial investment in less than 6 months.

Define, verify, modify, validate and test your business requirements.

Simulate the behavior of a future product; involve the customer interactively in scenario design and simulation.

Automatically generate tests that cover 100% of your requirements.

Automatically generate the artifacts necessary for your development team: Use case diagrams Flowcharts Test scenarios Documentation

Requirements Management

To ensure that all customer requirements are fully met, it is crucial to track each requirement throughout the lifecycle of the project.

                                                                                           

      We therefore perform a trace for each formal requirement throughout the different phases of the project to follow every stage of its development.
