Description
When a customer asks for something to be built then they expect that they will get what they asked for. If a customer asks for a system to be built with features A, B and C then they expect that system to supply these features. If the system doesn’t supply the features (as the customer perceives them) then the system will be considered to be a failure and the customer will be dissatisfied with the results. Since most large real-world systems are built under contract then this dissatisfaction may result in legal action or other commercial consequences.
Over the course of a large real-world project the requirements often change, or are reinterpreted as people attempt to implement them. At the end of the project, the resulting system will almost certainly have some differences with how the customer originally perceived that the system would be built. The version history of various requirements documents, or email trails may contain some of the reasons why things changed, but extracting why requirements have been changed can be a time consuming exercise. Even then the necessary reasons may have been lost if the people concerned have left the project.
Trace Analyst is a software product and development process that provides requirements assurance. This software product provides a process by which the customer can be assured that the requirements they initially specified have been delivered. When requirements are changed then who, when, and why the change occurred is logged. When the software is delivered then the customer can be assured that the no requirements have been missed and no uncontrolled extra functionality has been delivered. One by-product of this process is detailed real-time progress tracking of requirements completion and by implication the project completion.
Trace Analyst delivers:
- Proof to the stakeholders that all required functionality has been delivered
- Records the change history of requirements as they evolve
- Reduces the time spent on investigating why requirements have changed
- Greater customer satisfaction when a project is completed
