Offers ability to automate tasks and to track changes within documents and compare different versions of requirements but modeling capabilities could benefit from a web-based tool

Pros

"The traceability matrix in DOORS improved our project outcomes. It helps ensure coverage of requirements at different levels, from user requirements to software requirements to test requirements."

Cons

"Not all Rational Team Concert operations are available from the web client. Certain operations, like creating streams or components, still require using the desktop application. They're not accessible through the web interface. And in my opinion, this limitation should be removed."

One-line summary: The solution provides everything in one place, allowing its users to track and pull information from different modules For how long have you been using this solution? I have bee

Pros

"I would say that the best feature of the solution is that since everything is in one place, and if you make any changes, then they are recorded or tracked."

Cons

"The low performance of the solution is probably because it is quite an old tool."

Product discussed: Latest version
A stable and scalable requirements management tool that never duplicates IDs

Pros

"It's a very interesting tool. I like that it's simple. You have to create your document, add your templates, and have your headings and definitions, and it's done. You must attribute the discipline and fill out the comment field for requirements. It also provides you with unique IDs for each requirement. I like that it never duplicates IDs."

Cons

"It could be more user-friendly. It's not a beautiful tool. The user interface is gray. It has only lists inside, and it's horrible when you want to add tables. It's tough to add tables and manage them. It also becomes difficult when you want to add images."

User-friendly, easily traces all requirements, and includes a wide range of add-ons

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is traceability. We can track every requirement, including what the stakeholder must do and component-level requirements."

Cons

"Both the performance and the price could be improved."

    It improved the way the requirements concept was perceived in our organization, and in that way it had also an impact on validation activities.

    Easy to use after deployment and highly stable solution

    Pros

    "It is a stable solution. "

    Cons

    "The images are not clear. We have to use them as OLE objects. And in the testing part, I'm not sure how to link it with it. This is my main concern."
