MALMO, Sweden, June 10, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telelogic (Stockholm:TLOG), the leading global provider of solutions for advanced systems and software development, today announced the availability of an automated application development lifecycle solution spanning initial requirements to final test. The offering is built around the product integration of Telelogic DOORS(R) for requirements management, Telelogic ChangeSynergy(tm) for change management, Telelogic CM Synergy(tm) with ActiveCM(tm) for configuration management and Mercury Interactive's TestDirector(R) for global test management.
By automating the process for each of these key development activities, as well as tightly integrating the activities with each other, a unique end-to-end development lifecycle solution based on proven, industry-leading products has been created. The result is an enterprise-wide development platform that allows organizations to effectively bridge the gap between requirements, development and testing, and ultimately follow the path toward successful implementation and product delivery.
"Development projects are constantly under pressure to adapt and evolve as the business environment changes," said Gartner Group research director, Matthew Light. "Keeping development projects focused and their progress readily visible is vital to the survival for modern, high-tech companies. Tools that integrate key aspects of the development lifecycle, such as requirements, change and test management should provide organizations with the infrastructure to deliver results faster and more predictably."
"The products and integrations we are launching today is a major step in Telelogic's strategy to create a complete, automated solution to the management of the systems and software development lifecycle," claimed Ingemar Ljungdahl, Telelogic's chief technology officer. "By integrating requirements, change, configuration and test management we provide companies with an enterprise development solution that will improve communication, boost organizational efficiency and drastically simplify and speed up the development processes."
Automation of key lifecycle management activities Critical to any development project is to have a solid requirements management process, and to keep track of changes to the requirements. Part of the automated lifecycle management solution is the unique DOORS Enterprise Change Proposal System (ECPS), a scalable and robust mechanism for managing requirement changes. ECPS is made possible through the direct access from DOORS to ChangeSynergy's powerful change management capabilities. It is further critical to make sure that all development efforts expended are performed to meet a specific requirement - and that no effort is wasted.
To enable this, Telelogic introduces a tight integration between DOORS, ChangeSynergy and Telelogic CM Synergy with ActiveCM. The integration supports requirements driven development processes that keep teams synchronized and focused on their objectives. It is also vital to make sure that the final product meets desired quality and functionality goals. To achieve this, Telelogic offers a feature-rich integration between DOORS, Synergy and Mercury Interactive TestDirector that enables organization and management of requirements, changes, defects and tests. With this solution it is now possible to test that each requirement has been fulfilled, rather than just testing what has been built - in the end ensuring a product delivery that everybody is satisfied with.
