Compuware Revs Business Requirements Tool

reddevnews.com

Compuware Corp. has upgraded its Optimal Trace tool used to help organizations address the problem of propagating business requirements into the app dev process.

The Detroit-based company's new Optimal Trace 5.0 now includes wizards to import and classify documents and text from a variety of document types, notably Word, Excel and text files. The new release also creates a structure on the spot, using folders such as Requirements, Performance, Business Rules, Customer Maintenance and Business-Domain Entities.

Optimal Trace 5.0 falls in the mid-range of a cadre of tools that include Borland Caliber, IBM Rational RequisitePro, Kovair Global LifeCycle/Requirements Management and Telelogic DOORS.

Optimal Trace 5.0 is intended for business analysts who typically enter information into familiar applications such as Word and Excel. However, that data often must be re-keyed into enterprise business requirements management (BRM) packages.
