Abstract
This paper shows how the tool chain supports efficient use of resources
and transparency through partners in collaborative software development. Tool
chain also improves the requirements tracing during the software development
lifecycle.
Generally in software development, there is a need to link the requirements to
the corresponding design artefacts, to the resulting software and associated
test cases. Traceability enables, for instance, the efficient change impact
analysis and reporting facilities at the different phases of the software
development life cycle. In collaboration, traceability is an enormous
challenge for successful development. Efficient use of resources in
collaboration is also problematic caused by different time zones, various
tools and lack of real-time synchronization of data items. In addition, common
understanding of requirements without transparency between companies is seen
as one of the typical problems in collaboration.
The paper gives a solution to the challenges above by defining the integrated
tool environment to support collaborative SW development. Tool chain provides
mechanism to manage resources and tasks efficiently and offers consistent view
to the product artefacts in real-time. Tool chain integrates project
management, requirements management, configuration management and testing
tools.
