Advanced Requirements and Lifecycle Management Software

Solve your development problems in your own way

Manage every aspect of your projects with CASE Spec that provides an affordable and simple repository based solution. Any required number of artifacts (requirements, use cases, test cases, tasks, bugs, etc) can be created. Links among artifacts can be established using a unique graphical tool. CASE Spec also provides powerful analysis tools and integrated change and configuration management tools.

CASE Spec is the only tool in the market that provides real traceability solution; it is flexible in solving your real problems.

Who should use CASE Spec?

CASE Spec is a powerful software for specification, requirements tracking, analysis, verification and validation of systems. It provides collaborative environment for all project stake holders involved with project management, specification, requirements tracking, analysis, design and testing.

Business Analysts

By using CASE Spec, business analysts can create and manage requirements, use cases, features, business rules, goals and more in CASE Spec central repository. They can establish links among all the artifacts. By using CASE Spec’s award winning visual and tabular traceability tools, Business Analysts can align systems to business goals and requirements. They can also automatically generate professional documents and reports.

Developers

Globally or locally dispersed developers can easily collaborate with team members by using CASE Spec and its workflow tools. Developers can work on multiple projects effortlessly.

Project Managers

Project Managers can control and manage projects effectively by relating their tasks to requirements, use cases and goals. Project managers can measure the progress of projects by determining the status of project artifacts (requirements, test cases, etc).

Quality Analysts / Software Testers

Quality Analysts can relate their test cases to design elements, requirements, features, use cases, business rules, bugs, etc. They can easily find the test coverage gaps with the traceability analysis tools.

Requirements play a central role in systems and software development. Studies have shown that poor requirements management is the most common cause for systems failure. Many projects do not use requirements management tools because of their complexity and high costs. CASE Spec is the most affordable, compact and easy-to-use scintillant requirements management tool that is currently available. It is set up as an intelligent tool to deal effectively with the complexities of system development. A thinking tool par excellence, CASE Spec simplifies the complex tasks of recording, updating, analyzing, and linking system requirements for you.

Manage any type of requirements

A system development project may include many requirement types such as hardware requirements, software requirements, functional requirements, operational requirements, interface requirements, security requirements, and so on. With CASE Spec, the requirement types can be categorized with a hierarchal structure, and each requirement type can have the same or different properties. Users of CASE Spec can supplement requirements specification with tables, diagrams, outlines, and other objects.

Link requirements to other requirements

Establish parent-child and bi-directional links among requirements for total traceability. Use user-friendly visual tools to simplify establishing and maintaining traceability links.

Relate requirements to other artifacts

For effective project management and quality control, you can link requirements to other artifacts that can include Tasks, Bugs, Change Requests, Issues, Use Cases, Test Cases, and so on.

Traceability and Gap analysis

CASE Spec includes a powerful winning set of traceability tools consisting of both visual and tabular tools for impact analysis and complete gap analysis.

Control requirements change

You can track requirement change history and baseline requirements for controlling projects and incremental development.

Generate documents and reports

CASE Spec enables you to generate requirements specification documents, history reports, traceability reports and tabular analysis reports with sorting, grouping and filtering.

Process Independent

CASE Spec simplifies your development process. It is process independent. You have the flexibility to use any formal process such as Agile, Waterfall, Spiral and Incremental OR informal processes such as Extreme Programming (XP) and others for systems development.

Other

Other useful features of CASE Spec for requirements management include: Import/export wizards for interfacing with other tools, templates, and ad hoc workflow for collaboration. You can also link requirements to diagrams and documents. CASE Spec is easy to setup for local and global collaboration.

Unified Tool for Systems Development

Requirements Tracking and Management is a vital, if challenging, component of successful software and systems development. Requirements provide the basic definition and direction for projects from their very inception. When requirements are not met or when they are badly managed, a project can fail or can be much more expensive than originally anticipated or budgeted for. Early identification of possible problems or defects can greatly reduce the expense incurred in the repair or redesign process. It is important that requirements be traceable throughout the design and test process, because a project’s very success is dependent upon requirements that are complete, accurate, and measurable.

Successful requirements tracking requires that developers show accountability for the status of the requirements at every stage of the project. To do this, there must be a record of traceable linkage for each requirement to or through every other software artifact that relates to it or that impacts it. This means that at every stage of project development, each method be "traceable" to its corresponding elements in the design, each of which is "traceable" to its corresponding requirement. A complete and proper flow-down of requirements is the first step in the development of a quality product to meet the specific needs of the client.

Projects that are not effectively tracked are difficult to control and manage. When a project is not in control, risk identification and management becomes increasingly difficult and can lead to schedule and budget over-runs. Effective tracking ensures that the project is progressing as planned to meet schedule, cost, and quality goals. As requirements evolve throughout the life of the system, they may be required to change in nature, scope, and content to become more consistent, precise, and clear. Their connections to other system artifacts also evolve over time, and must be traceable.

To ensure successful management and tracking of requirements, an affordable, simple, powerful, and easy-to-use requirements tool is needed. CASE Spec is just such a tool. It provides effective requirements tracking, simple importing, exporting, and baselining, and a traceability matrix to easily show the impact of changing requirements on the system and process as a whole.
