Verona's ALM suite includes modules for
requirements management, software reviews and inspections, test management,
defect management and document control. This functionality has been developed to deliver the
following benefits:
|
|
|
1. Productivity
|
-
Maximize collaboration by making all requirements and development artifacts visible to the whole team
-
Eliminate the time and effort wasted moving data between disparate tools and spreadsheets.
-
Enhance agility by providing the flexibility needed to respond instantly to changing customer requirements.
-
Shorten development cycles through shared best practices
|
|
|
2. Visibility
|
-
Know the exact development status of every customer requirement
-
Know the status of every development artifact associated with each requirement - specifications, designs, code, test cases.
Know when things are really done. Does design specification ‘done’ mean there is a draft on someone’s ‘C-Drive’, or does it mean that it has been written, reviewed, all review issues closed, and it has been released under document control?
-
See the progress trends for any facet of the project: requirements defined and approved; development artifacts developed, reviewed and approved; test cases written, executed and passed.
|
|
|
3. Traceability
|
-
Trace all development artifacts back to individual requirements and see gaps plus associated risks.
-
Get a clear picture of the test coverage planned for each requirement.
-
Get comprehensive reports on the status of test execution.
|
|
|
4. Risk Management
|
-
Get a report of all missing project artifacts on a single screen
-
Intervene at the earliest possible opportunity to make corrections when things are not on track.
-
Get notified immediately when changes are made to requirements.
-
Ensure instantaneous communication to the entire team when significant changes occur that represent risk
|
|
|
5. Quality
|
-
Remove all doubt that the product meets all of the user's requirements
-
Have clear visibility of test coverage and test results on a feature-by-feature basis
-
See defect metrics from all phases of development so that defect containment can be quantified and maximized.
