Requirements

How Successful is your Requirements Process?

Many organizations appear willing to spend large amounts fixing defects rather than investing a small amount capturing the requirements correctly. Try this simple exercise; take a sample of 50 defects from any of your past projects.  Count the defects that are due to miscommunication or simply missed requirements.  Repeat 2 or 3 times to make sure you've got a good average.  If the number is 5 or more then we'd like to help make you more successful.

RIIS does iRise

RIIS prototypes web applications to remove any ambiguity using the iRise vizualization tool.  Whether it is internal development, offshore, commercial off the shelf products or maintaining existing applications, iRise can help resolve your requirement problems before coding begins.  Click here for our iRise whitepaper.

Traceability and Change Management

Eliciting requirements is only part of the solution. Each business requirement needs to be mapped to a functional requirement and corresponding test case to make sure the application does what it was intended to do. Requirements are fluid, so whatever your methodology it is also essential to manage the change request process and traceability using tools such as IBM's RequisitePro or Microfocus' Optimal Trace. 

Visible Thread

Most requirement tools focus on a single project. But what if you have multiple projects running concurrently? Visible Thread is a next generation tool that automates document reviews to ensure the quality of your requirements, design and test case documents is always maintained. Click here to find out more.
