Caliber:  Requirements Definition and Management

Borland® Caliber® is an enterprise solution allowing business and IT to collaboratively discover, define, and manage software requirements through the application lifecycle.

Designed to ensure complete and accurate software requirements, the Caliber family enables stakeholders across the organization to collaborate effectively so that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to specification. Visual scenarios can be captured and specified with ease giving business and IT a common language for clear understanding. Scenarios come to life through industry unique storyboard execution, providing stakeholders a means to see what is missing and provide unambiguous guidance. This allows the software requirements to be refined and truly validated, eliminating costly rework. Once validated, test cases, BPMN and UML designs can be generated, significantly improving the speed and accuracy of software development. Finally, requirements are managed and traced throughout the project lifecycle, enabling software development teams to assess impact and respond rapidly to ever-changing requirements without jeopardizing project success.
