Blueprint Systems, a global leader in requirements, empowers authors and reviewers to visually define, simulate, validate, and publish requirements to deliver software projects faster, with less cost and rework. Blueprint Requirements Center 2010 is a complete requirements solution for definition and collaboration, enabling authors to define requirements using rich text, UI mockups, use cases, business process, data and roles. Blueprint also uses rich simulation to visually communicate requirements to stakeholders in distributed or local organizations.
The Blueprint Requirements Lifecycle provides integrated toolsets for the definition and management of requirements.
Precision and Clarity: Eliminate rework caused by miscommunication and requirements errors.
Visualize Your Requirements: Blueprint's unique visualization capability enables requirements authors to simulate all requirements together exposing requirements issues early.
Deliver better software, faster: Reduced rework due to higher quality requirements results in higher quality applications and accelerated delivery schedules.
Why Blueprint Requirements Center and CollabNet?
Blueprint Requirements Center is designed to strengthen the foundation of the application lifecycle by eliminating requirement ambiguity and miscommunication that often occurs in the project lifecycle. Blueprint Requirements Center allows teams to improve their requirements definition process (authoring, validating and collaborating). Blueprint Requirements Center leverages CollabNet Subversion to provide reliable and distributed storage, security, versioning, and access of rich requirements assets. CollabNet Subversion is an enterprise-ready distribution of Subversion that includes certified binaries, platform-specific installers, certified plugins for other tools, and enterprise-ready add-ons. Ease of use and out-of-the-box support for remote teams make Subversion the best solution for global projects, compared to legacy tools that are inadequate for distributed teams and expensive to run. Both companies are also part of the HP Quality Center ecosystem.
