Blueprint Requirements Center Developer™

Blueprint Requirements Center Developer™  is built to provide clear understanding and comprehension of business requirements to help eliminate development rework and improve efficiency.   Product designers will completely understand the business context and how the future application’s process, data, and user-interfaces are required to work together.  The developer edition is completely integrated with Blueprint Requirements Center Analyst and Tester.

Eliminate Rework and Accelerate Project Plans
Blueprint Requirements Center enables your organization to gain a complete understanding of application functionality before development begins. Analysts, developers, and testers have the ability to communicate business requirements in concrete terms.  Through requirements simulation,  the system enables teams to visually walk-through requirements as if they are using actual applications.

Enable Global Teams to work Together
Blueprint Requirements Center Developer enables project teams to collaborate on requirements definition, whether they are down the hall or across the globe.  With distributed organizations now making up the majority of IT organizations, communicating business context can be critical to ensure efficient development efforts.  All editions of Blueprint Requirements Center are integrated, to enable the sharing of information.  Also, the solution is compatible with most document sharing technologies now deployed in the Global 2000.

Perform High Fidelity Requirements Simulation
Blueprint Requirements Center Developer includes industry-leading simulation functionality, to enable the creation of high-fidelity simulations of business need to gain validation and understanding within the organization.  The solution also empowers developers to perform simulations of applications that lack user-interfaces (such as SOA and web services) to model the complete (end-to-end) business process.  

Blueprint Requirements Center Developer includes:

• extend the requirements to add design-specific details
• add data to control simulations
• add hyperlinks to external design-specific content

Requirements Visualization:  Instantly simulate the future system …

• Unambiguously communicate with users, clients, development, test, support, management
• Use inherent traceability to navigate requirements and identify impacts
• Clearly identify missing and out-of-scope requirements
• Assemble system & subsystem requirements components for analysis and simulation
• Select specific parts of systems for simulation
• Have confidence in what you’re signing off

Requirements Validation:  Validate the requirements …

• Automatically detect requirements integrity errors
• Validate requirements using simulation and automatically-generated traceability report

Publish Blueprints:  “Action Plans” for Development

• Blueprints for development:  Automatically create Use Cases, Activity Diagrams, and associated information for IBM-Rational Rose/RSA/Modeler, to Borland Together, or to XMI.
