Enterprise
is a requirements capture, documentation and modelling suite for teams of
Business Analysts, Systems Analysts, Software Architects/Designers, QA
Leads/Testers and Project Managers. It provides an easy to deploy, intuitive
interface for capturing, viewing and managing customer requirements and a
sophisticated collaboration mechanism that enables multiple analysts to work
concurrently on a single project. A
requirement is a specification for an individual system function. Requirements
that must be supported by the system are specified in detail and must be
achievable and testable. They
are the specification of the essential subject matter of the system. Specifying
a requirement clarifies the system's subject matter and in doing so, may trigger
requirements that have not yet been thought of. C.A.R.E.
