From Requirements to Finished App: Achieving Traceability for Change Across the Software Lifecycle

For organizations looking to gain greater control over their development processes perhaps to pass IT audits or comply with external regulations or simply to make informed decisions on the impact of change, "traceability" over change is a clear objective. But while traceability may be desired it is still elusive for many - businesses using basic tools like Word and Excel to manage their requirements are unable to trace changes to those requirements throughout the project lifecycle, and thus run the risk of delivering applications that do not satisfy the needs of their users.

Join us for a look at MKS Integrity and see how it delivers complete traceability between requirements, test cases, defects and related development activities. Learn how MKS Integrity can deliver traceability from a role perspective, enabling you to see the history of change from the view of a QA Manager, Business Analyst or any other stakeholder. The ability to link artifacts within the MKS Integrity repository to others either up or downstream, across projects or through time provides tremendous value to automating communications, discovering and addressing the impact of change and calculating metrics to aid in decision making. The end result is greater auditability and efficiency across your software development lifecycle.
