Why is this relevant?

Requirements

Testers are

Poor Requirements Management has a Significant Impact on your Business

4

Requirements Rework

Errors, detected late in the Maintenance phase can cost up to 200 times more than detected early in Requirement Analysis phase1

More than 40% of development budget can be consumed by poor requirements2

Project Impacts

41% of projects fail to deliver the expected business value and ROI3

49% of projects overrun original estimates3

28% of projects on time and on budget4

Project Delays

Being late to market by 6 months or more will cost organizations 33% of the 5-year ROI5

“Our research indicates 80-plus percent of development failures result directly from poor requirements gathering, management, and analysis.”

IDC, November 2007

delays, poor quality, and project failures

Summary…. Removing silos



Open Services for Lifecycle Traceability (OSLC)

Lifecycle element are published

web resources (via URIs) that

support:

– Rich hover

– Navigation between tools

– Access via web browser

– Data is preserved in location

– Loosely coupled/

highly cohesive

– Backward compatible APIs

Open Service for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is

an open community, originally proposed in 2008, to

define a set of specifications that enable integration of

software development and more broadly Application

Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Product lifecycle

Management (PLM) products and services. The

intention is to make life easier for software and product

developers and tools vendors, by making it easier for

tools to work together

Typical ways Rational tooling helps clients

Compliance and Reporting

– Help manage complicated regulatory compliance

– Provide design control and history for audit and reuse

– Provide management project status as a bi-product of work

to reduce effort in manual status reporting

– Easily generate audit documentation to keep auditors out

of your live systems

Collaboration

– Help geographically distributed teams work as an

integrated team

– Provide cross discipline traceability and support -

everything from having a feature request to validating that

a product is ready to ship

Time to market

– Support current Agile development practices without

compromising compliance

– Ensure teams get up and running quickly with ease of use

and administration
