Integrations
RequisitePro is included in all Rational Suite products as part of the Rational Team Unifying Platform, which also includes the following applications:
- Rational Rose for object-oriented analysis, modeling, design, and construction
- ClearQuest for team-based change request management
- TestManager for management of software testing assessments
- ClearCase LT for configuration management
- SoDA for project reporting and documentation
- Rational Unified Process for incorporation of software development best practices.
All of the products in the Rational Suite family share a common foundation of team-unifying tools, and they include additional role-specific tools to optimize each suite for the individual practitioner.
RequisitePro can be used with Microsoft Project, too. It can be used to create tasks from requirements and to establish traceability from those requirements to the tasks.
Offline authoring
Offline authoring lets you edit a requirements document outside of RequisitePro (i.e., offline). A read-only copy of the document is retained in the project for other project users to view while edits are made offline. You can add and delete requirements in the offline document, and when you bring the document back online, RequisitePro replaces the read-only document with the modified document.
Requirement Metrics
Requirement Metrics enables you to report statistics on requirement text, attributes, relationships, and revisions. You can select a subset of requirements (a requirement type or a saved view) for your report, choose filter criteria, and add them to your report. The report results are displayed in Microsoft Excel and can be manipulated using Excel's charting capabilities.
