CaliberRDM

Bring software requirements to life

CaliberRDM®is an integrated requirements definition and management platform that combines interactive software simulation with traditional requirements management. Interactive simulations bring software requirements to life, improving the quality and accuracy of requirements throughout the lifecycle to improve end user satisfaction.

Good software requirements mean the difference between a project’s success and failure. CaliberRDM helps software delivery teams discover, define and manage application requirements in a visual and interactive way through scenarios and simulations.

Reduce post-delivery rework by up to 40%

Industry analysis suggests that at least half of all defects arise from incomplete or incorrect requirements. More than 80% of the effort to fix defects is spent fixing requirement-related defects. CaliberRDM reduces the overhead by promoting early feedback and a shared understanding of the business need to ensure the right software is built first time.

Increase development productivity by 20% or more

Interactive simulations engage all stakeholders with what needs to be delivered, so stakeholders and developers ask and understand the vital what-if questions as early as possible in the lifecycle.

Increase stakeholder satisfaction

Involving stakeholders early and often is key to successful application delivery. CaliberRDM overcomes reviewer disengagement and the possibility of errors that reviewing hundreds of pages of documentation can cause. Interactive simulations and scenarios give stakeholders experience of a requirement as it will be implemented. CaliberRDM also enables stakeholders to provide feedback, ensuring requirements are continuously aligned to business need.

CaliberRDM
Interactive and realistic experienceUsing sample data and business logic from your organization in simulations shows exactly how the software will perform in real life
Streamlined collaborationUsers can review and leave comments by accessing simulations on the web, communicating feedback clearly and shortening the feedback cycle
Powerful analysis facilitiesBusiness process storyboarding using multi-user, server-based process diagramming helps you define business processes, sketch and distribute diagrams, and attach images and other documents for additional context
Combines text requirements with visualizationsTraditional text-based requirements can be quickly defined along with visualizations in order to capture the right balance of words and pictures.
Secure centralized requirement platformA centralized web-based platform manages all requirement objects, including text-based requirements, attributes, attachments, scenarios and simulation
Align quality activitiesTest cases can be automatically generated from requirement scenarios and simulations and imported into most test management tools. QA teams to manage requirement change and jump-start testing efforts faster and earlier in the lifecycle
  • CaliberRDM is part of the Micro Focus Continuous Quality Assurance approach.

  • Integrates with CaliberRM to enhance textual requirements with interactive scenarios and simulations that bring requirements to life.

  • Integrates with SilkCentral® so QA teams can align requirements, manage requirement change and testing efforts faster and earlier in the lifecycle.
