IBM Rational DOORS: allows collaboration between team members, allowing them to manage

requirements, can be integrated with other tools to offer a complete traceability solution.

It is compatible with the requirements exchange format, which allows suppliers and development
partners to become directly involved in the development. Provides complete traceability through the
life cycle through integration with other tools such as IBM

Price: the price for this software goes from 150 Euros with support from 5 users and 25Gb of
Storage

Functionality:

• Requirements management in a centralized location: Rational DOORS allows you to manage

requirements documents centrally to facilitate collaboration. It provides access to full functionality of
editing, configuration, analysis and creation of reports through a desktop client. In addition, it
supports the requirements exchange format, which allows suppliers and development partners to
contribute to the documents of requirements, sections or attributes. It also records and displays the
text, graphics and tables of the requirements.

• Test tracking toolkit for manual testing environments:

The test tracking toolkit allows you to create links from requirements to test cases, as well as define
test cases, records and compare test runs. The solution ensures that all requirements are covered
by test cases.

• Integrations for managing requirements changes: The solution helps you manage changes in
requirements with a simple system of predefined change proposals or a more complete
customizable change control workflow with Rational change management solutions, including IBM
Rational Quality Manager, IBM Rational Rhapsody and IBM Rational Focal Point. It is also
integrated with HP QualityCenter to provide visibility into requirements and to create test cases for
traceability, and with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) to create and maintain traceability.

Learning Curve: with the purchase of the software IBM sends additional guides to make a quick
learning of the platform.

Requisite Pro: Application for development of software base architecture. Ideal for Analysts who
use the Unified Development Process with UML tools (Unified Modeling Language).

Rational Rose is a model-based development tool that integrates with the databases and IDEs of
the main platforms in the sector. IBM Rational Rose Enterprise is one of the most complete
products in the Rational Rose family. All Rational Rose products support Unified Modeling
Language (UML), but they are not compatible with the same deployment technologies. Rational
Rose Enterprise is a modeling environment that allows generating code from Ada models, ANSI C
++, C ++, CORBA, Java / J2EE, Visual C ++ and Visual Basic. Like all Rational Rose products, it
offers a common modeling language that streamlines the creation of software.
Price: Directly the price is not identifiable but is similar to that of Ibm Rational Doors

Functionality:

Rational RequisitePro does not have derivation or merge mechanisms, as has IBM® Rational®
ClearCase®, for example. Saving RequisitePro documents in ClearCase to take advantage of their
bypass and merge capabilities would not solve the problem, because the convergence manager
between ClearCase and Microsoft Word does not take into account the embedded requirements
that are stored in the database. RequisitePro.

The only possible solution is to use the functionality of Rational RequisitePro and create
independent instances of RequisitePro documents and requirements. With these separate
instances, the teams can work independently and then unify the changes. There are additional
attributes of the requirements that can help manage where a requirement branched from and where
it converged. A follow-up relationship between the original requirement and the branched
requirement can help keep you updated with respect to changes made to the requirements by other
equipment.

learning of the platform.

Enterprise Architect: Tool for the complete management of the life cycle that allows business
modeling, requirements management, traceability, software design, code generation, testing.

Price: there are several modalities which are detailed as follows:

Functionality:
High capacity - Features finale s superior to a fair price: Enterprise Architect is a tools understandable
design and UML analysis, covering the development of software from the step of the requirements
through the stages of analysis, design models, testing and maintenance. EA is a tool multi -user,
Windows-based, designed to help build robust and easy-to-maintain software. It offers flexible and
high-quality documentation output. The user manual is available online.

Speed, stability and good performance: The Unified Modeling Language provides significant benefits
to help build models of rigorous software systems and where it is possible to consistently maintain
traceability. Enterprise Architect supports this process in a environment easy to use, fast and
flexible. For a quick look at UML modeling in Enterprise Architect see our UML tutorial and
documents.

Tra End-to-end easing: Enterprise Architect It provides complete traceability from the analysis of
requirements to the artifacts of analysis and design, through implementation and
deployment. Combined with the location of resources and tasks incorporated, the teams of Project
and Quality Managers are equipped with the information they need to help them deliver projects on
time.

Constru gone on the bases of UML 2.1: The bases of Enterprise Architect are built on the UML 2.0
specification - but it does not stop there ! Use UML Profiles to extend the modeling domain, while
Model Validation ensures integrity. Combine Business Processes, Information and Workflows into a
model using our free extensions for BPMN and the profile Eriksson-Penker .

Learning curve: The Learning Center window provides quick access to a range of context-specific
task guides in a number of specific work areas, such as Beginning, Modeling or Testing. Along the
'bread crumbs' route at the top of the Learning Center window you show the short task guides,
which describe how to achieve specific objectives in a work area. The guides contain links to Help
topics and other useful sources of information.

HP Quality Center: HP Quality Center is a web application that supports all the essential aspects of
test management. Help in the management of software requirements, planning and programming of
tests, analysis of results and management of defects
Price: Your license is about 892 Dollars
Functionality:

The requirements module, which allows a total organization of the requirements that the client
defines to be fulfilled by the development.
The test module, which is separated into Test Plan and Test Lab , in which we will leave all the tests
that we will perform based on those requirements and their executions respectively.
The defect module allows creating and linking defects to different requirements and the execution
of test cases. In this way we can see at a glance our work and forget to leave notes, notes in
notebooks and centralize everything in a tool.

Dres: It is based on PHP and the administration of the projects is carried out in a web browser. It
can be very useful for distributed work groups, since you can access the work done in even making
changes via the Internet. To use it requires, in addition to the PHP server, a database MySQL o
CORBA for storing the requirements.
Price : Your license is Open Source
