| Desription ......... The CaliberRM software is a multi-user management tool. It keeps track of all the requirements that needs to be done and understands the dependencies on them. It facilitates collaboration, communication and impact analysis. This allows teams of programmers to deliver on key project milestones while maintaining predictability and accuracy. Developers and testers that need to summarize and communicate with the user’s demands may also use the CaliberRM program. This helps large, small and distributed organizations in delivering programs that meets the user’s needs. This also eliminates the tedious job of using Excel worksheets, white boards and word documents that needs to be updated regularly. CaliberRM helps programmers to work more efficiently.
The program enables programmers to:
- Tackle application quality issues in the beginning of the cycle.
- Provide visibility and collaboration all throughout the delivery cycle.
- Have a comprehensive way to application quality control, that reduces
- maintenance and rework cost.
The CaliberRM software is a multi-user database that is used for a specific purpose. It categorizes requirements or projects in a hierarchical tree. Allowing the user to know what needs to be done, how things are going, who is doing it and what the dependencies are. The CaliberRM can also maintain a record of changes made in a requirement, as well as the user that made these changes. This alerts programmers about the low-level require path caused by the changes made. These functions are useful to analysts and developers. Audit trials, for instance, determine the impact new changes made to works already done.
The CaliberRM has a unique process driven approach on software requirements management and definition. It uses a collaborative and iterative approach for managing and defining software requirements. This is done via five critical requirements development areas, which includes:
- Elicitation – this summarizes techniques, system boundaries, glossary and stakeholders.
- Analysis – this determines priorities, risks, verifications and estimations.
- Specification – this contains detail requirements, prototype, Business model scenarios and detail requirements.
- Validation – this involves reviewing, signing and adding baseline on the operational requirement.
- Management – this is the last part that involves storage, documentation, measuring and linking the requirements.
The CaliberRM can also be integrated with other programs such as the TestDirector. This ensures that program testing meets all the requirements specified. The CaliberRM application also has .NET, COM and Java links integrations allowing the user to hook tools into the requirements and improved support on glossaries. This may be used to create a project-specific vocabulary, which automatically links to the requirements description.
Borland Software Corporation developed the CaliberRM. It is a commercial product available for online purchase from the Corporation’s website. The program is available in Japanese, English, French and German language. |
