Great software starts with a Blueprint
Blueprint Requirements Center 2007 ™is the industry’s first role-based Requirements Lifecycle AccelerationTM system. Blueprint Requirements Center puts the Customer and Business Analyst at the center of the development process, allowing them to collaboratively define, visualize, and validate their requirements in business terms, all before a single line of code has been developed The solution contains key strategic integrations, to populate or “blueprint” SDLC solutions with critical project information based on validated business requirements.
Eliminate Rework and Accelerate Project Plans
Blueprint Requirements Center enables your organization to gain a complete understanding of application functionality before development begins. By leveraging the system, 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.
Generate Accurate QA and UAT Test Cases
Working in conjunction with leading quality management products, Blueprint Requirements Center can generate complete test scenarios for 100% requirements coverage. Through integrations with HP Quality Center™, requirements definition elements within Blueprint Requirements Center can auto-generate accurate requirements management elements and test scenarios, including traceable links between them. . The solution can dramatically accelerate risk-based testing efforts, as well as enable change or policy based testing efforts.
Enable Global Teams to work Together
Blueprint Requirements Center 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 and testing 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.
How does Blueprint Requirements Center 2007 work?
Blueprint Requirements Center is the industry’s first role based approach to Requirements Lifecycle Acceleration™. By enabling your organization to clearly define, simulate, and validate business requirements, the Blueprint Requirements Center system leverages strategic touch points in the application development lifecycle to dramatically accelerate project timelines.
Blueprint Requirements Center’s functionality is organized into the following areas:
Requirements Definition: Completely express business requirements …
Requirements Definition is the center-piece of Blueprint Requirements Center. The system provides rich requirements definition capabilities that allow analysts to fully define the business context for the application in terms of business process, and a set of integrated requirements for the software application itself using Use Cases, data conditions, business rules, and rich user-interfaces.
Requirements Visualization: Instantly simulate the future system …
At any point during the requirements definition process, the future application defined to that point can be instantly “visualized” through live simulation. Blueprint Requirements Center™ provides a unique multi-aspect simulation with views suited to the various stakeholders. This allows all to understand clearly what is to be built and to positively influence the requirements before committing budget and resources on development.
Requirements Certification: Automatically generate QA and UAT test scenarios …
Blueprint Requirements Center™ generates test scenarios for 100% coverage of the requirements – automatically! Analysts generate tests as they define requirements to provide instant assurance that the requirements are testable. Working in conjunction with major quality management products (such as HP Quality Center™), test professionals can use Blueprint Requirements Center’s ™ scoping and filtering features to generate user acceptance tests, system tests, regression tests, and policy-driven tests (based on risk, criticality, priority, etc) automatically. Blueprint Requirements Center provides inherent traceability, reporting, and simulation provide comprehensive certification of the requirements and ultimately the application.
Blueprint To Lifecycle Solutions: Accurate Information for Requirements Management, Design, Development, and Testing SDLC solutions
Even the highest quality requirements and tests are of little value if they cannot be communicated to those whose work depends on them. Blueprint Requirements Center™ has extensive capabilities for creating “Blueprints” of what is to be built and tested and to automatically “publish” these to websites, reports, and directly into the most popular design, requirements management, and testing tools on the market. |
