An Innovative Approach to Managing Software Requirements

This paper provides a thorough and detailed examination of a comprehensive requirements management solution. The paper begins by summarizing the benefits of an effective requirements management approach, the role of requirements management within Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and how MKS Integrity can manage requirements through its single platform, single architecture approach. This paper examines how requirements are authored, captured and traced through the downstream lifecycle, how companies can utilize best practices such as parallel development and reuse in relation to requirements, and how configuration management concepts can be leveraged to achieve advanced requirements management capabilities.
