A reputable name in requirements definition, development and solutions, eDev Technologies is no doubt taking gigantic leaps towards becoming the leader in providing comprehensive requirements lifecycle solutions. But if eDev is going to live up to its name, it must be able to support all functions and applications which many entrepreneurs are currently conceiving in their minds.  The process of ascertaining the nature of such functions and capabilities is called requirements definition and development.

Basically requirements are categorized as functional and non-functional, and both are required to adequately specify systems.  Functional requirements specify functions and look into how the completed system is to perform for the end user. Non-functional requirements specify all supporting capabilities which are needed to administer and secure the systems in a satisfactory manner. They also specify performance levels of and providing a base to management features required to support the functional requirements.

Requirements specify how the system should perform for end users.  End users comprise of not just those who execute the applications, but also the systems administrators and cyber-security personnel managing the systems deployed.  Without a strong set of requirements, systems may fall short of end user’s needs and essential functions of systems administration support.  A comprehensive requirements specification is specifically significant for small field equipment with limited resources like meters etc. This equipment can number in the millions and will require significant efforts to initially install. Errors or omissions in requirements can be costly to fix if they are discovered after systems are designed and even more costly if caught following implementation or deployment.

Changing businesses, competitive market pressures and evolving customer requirements are placing increasing pressure on industries to deliver greater flexible and efficient solution. Leading companies are focusing their foremost effort on

outlining customer requirements and for them inteGREAT is the right tool to adopt!

inteGREAT Enterprise 2010 is a complete solution to various complexities and hurdles businesses face for executing projects. With inteGREAT Enterprise 2010 the critical step of requirement gathering is made easier than ever.

Reuse of knowledge at an atomic and package level has been the pursuit of virtually every facet of knowledge development. In software development concepts such as object oriented development, framework based architecture, SOA and adaptive systems have achieved reuse to various degrees. However in requirements development where knowledge is diverse (business, users, and system requirements such as FR, NFR, BR, Goal/KPI, Risk/Mitigation, data, process, reporting specs….) and often complex little advancement has been done in normalizing this knowledge through reuse and repurposing of the knowledge base.

Problems of redundancy, fragmentation and out dated documentation have yield a huge price in terms of project failure, cost over runs, lost opportunities and frustrated stakeholders. These concepts are a direct result of lack of knowledge reuse and repurposing of that knowledge to suit the needs of various stakeholders.

Here are some examples of requirements redundancy:

1)      Business rules being used and referenced from multiple specifications (e.g. use case, SRS, BRS, Test cases) and often this information is shared across multiple projects.

2)      Use cases, Test cases, flow charts, swim lane diagrams and traceability matrix have nearly the same information so they are defined multiple times and often by different individuals.

3)      Content in various document such as Charter, Scope, SRS, BRS, UC, … share information – users copy/paste this content and quickly lose consistency between documents as the requirements evolve.

inteGREAT solves many of the above problems of requirements development by  using a knowledge centric solution where information reuse, both atomically within a project, or as specification across project help eliminate redundancy, fragmentation and inconsistency in specifications developed. It speeds up the time to requirements definition, validation, automated simulation and test document generation. What users took days can now be done in hours in an effective requirements JAD sessions.

Knowledge is the new frontier & your best friend. inteGREAT give you the tool to define and harness that knowledge.

Knowledge made user friendly.
