TORONTO, Ontario — April 12th 2010 — eDev launched inteGREAT Enterprise 2010 for automated requirements definition on April 6th 2010 at Microsoft Canada Head Quarters.
“Microsoft is pleased that eDev Technologies, a Visual Studio Industry Partner, has invested early in supporting Visual Studio 2010 and our next-generation application development platform, and is today simultaneously shipping inteGREAT Enterprise 2010,” said Eddie Amos, general manager of Developer Platform and Tools Marketing at Microsoft Corp. “Products like inteGREAT Enterprise 2010 helps customers simplify their development process from design to deployment when using Microsoft products like Visual Studio 2010 and.NET Framework 4.”
inteGREAT, a Microsoft BlueSky award winning product, is a requirements
definition, simulation, validation, collaboration and test document
automation technology that provides bidirectional integration with Team
Foundation Server 2010. Using Visual Studio 2010 and inteGREAT, the Business
Analyst, Developer, Tester and Project Manager can access the same information
through the common repository in Team Foundation Server. Use cases,
diagrams and test cases are automatically produced by inteGREAT and published
to Team Foundation Server for testers to kick start the testing process.
Automated and high fidelity simulation is generated in XAML for requirements
validation, and to jumpstart the development process. inteGREAT also
leverages SharePoint as the collaboration server for versioning, workflow,
single sign-on, document management and discussion. inteGREAT automatically
generates diagrams using Visio and provides reporting through Microsoft
Office Word and Excel. http://www.edevtech.com/products.html.
Forrester, one of the world’s most respected independent research
firms, says “High-quality software requirements sit at the foundation
of good software deliverables — those that meet business needs,
satisfy customers, and fit into existing technology architectures.
Yet many organizations haven’t invested much (if at all) in their
business analysts’ development or requirements practices. If your
organization is among these many, it’s time to begin a requirements
improvement journey. You can’t afford not to do it. [“Best
Practices: Your Ten-Step Program To Improve Requirements And Deliver Better
Software”,
Forrester Research, Inc., February, 2010. Requirements easily become
inconsistent, fragmented and redundant. inteGREAT provides an intuitive
knowledge management solution that streamlines requirements and test
definition. It normalizes the requirements knowledgebase by removing
redundancies in all its manifestations; providing reuse of information
across the enterprise. inteGREAT repurposes information as diagram and
documentation. inteGREAT reduces the requirements knowledge footprint
by over 75% and produces consistent, high quality, artifacts for business
analysts, developers, testers and project managers.
inteGREAT integrates with Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft SharePoint,
Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project – providing a consistent
view of the requirements and related artifacts to all stakeholders. DR.
Ralph Young, a prominent author and thought leader in requirements engineering
said “inteGREAT is light years ahead of other requirements definition
technologies…” www.edevtech.com/integreat_vsts.html.
There is a growing demand for better requirements definition and simulation
technology that works seamlessly with Visual Studio. inteGREAT is the
response to that demand. No more will the project stakeholders live
within their silo. No more will they develop requirements as content.
Knowledge is our greatest asset and inteGREAT is the medium to define
and analyze requirements as an Integrated Body of Knowledge (iBoK)
shared by all stakeholders.
