Integrate Seamlessly with the Most Popular Software Development Tools

Blueprint has practical integrations with the most popular tools used on application development projects. It automatically generates a comprehensive set of tests from the requirements and populates ALM solutions with those tests, the requirements, and complete traceability. Blueprint also provides integration with Microsoft Excel allowing users to leverage Excel’s many features or use it as a conduit to other third-party toolsets. Blueprint’s integrations help ensure alignment of all groups who collaborate on application projects.

Microsoft Visio

Blueprint imports and exports diagrams in Visio file format. This includes a wide range of diagram types including Business Process Diagrams, User Interface Mockups, Use Case Diagrams, Storyboards, and Generic Diagrams. Automatic shape mapping makes this feature fast and easy. And because most diagramming tools today support import/export in Visio format, this feature allows you to exchange diagrams between Blueprint and a wide range of other diagramming products.

Test Generation

Blueprint automatically generates tests from use cases, not only saving the countless hours it usually takes to create those tests by hand but also providing higher test quality and more reliable test coverage. The resulting tests can be output to HP Quality Center, or to Excel. Blueprint’s test generation capability ensures a strong connection between requirements that outline what a system is ‘supposed’ to do, and the tests that will confirm the application actually does it.

ALM Integration

Requirements developed using blueprint are the basis or input for work done by virtually every other team member. To align the team with the agreed-upon requirements, they need to be available directly within the tools they use. For this reason Blueprint provides integrations with leading Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions using “ALM Adapters”.

Microsoft Office

Blueprint lets you import glossaries and text requirements in Microsoft Excel files along with any properties and hierarchy. Conversely Blueprint lets you export requirements and auto-generated tests to Microsoft Office with formats determined by predefined or user-defined Blueprint templates. Blueprint’s Microsoft Office integration streamlines project processes by allowing access to requirements information in commonly used formats.
