Business Requirements Management

Compuware combines proven expertise, industry-leading tools for requirements management and best practices in a comprehensive approach that helps you to:

avoid costly project rework
reduce time to market
deliver high-quality business solutions.

Compuware's Business Requirements Management framework emphasizes the importance of properly executing critical requirements processes (requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, change control and validation) and active participation by key stakeholders throughout the project life cycle.

The framework also integrates best-in-class tools to effectively capture and manage business requirements. This approach improves collaboration between business and IT groups and results in substantial qualitative and quantitative delivery improvements.

Enterprise Legacy Modernization

Compuware Professional Services identifies when systems can be tuned to run more efficiently or rewritten in a more integrated environment. These changes improve overall efficiency of your systems and enhance the simplification of your IT environment. The result: cost savings and increased performance levels.

Our Professional Services teams analyze, develop and recommend a "best value" strategy to modernize any or all of your applications. We identify:

potential cost-cutting and time savings
high-performing areas to be mined and reused
targets for enhancement to better meet business needs
high maintenance and support costs and how they can be reduced
opportunities for better integration and new web-enabled interfaces.

Agile Development

Compuware Professional Services' unique Agile Development solution—Iterations in Motion™ (IiM)—builds applications faster and more reliably by deploying system components frequently. Iterative application development combines with iterative data conversion to ensure efficiency and quality at each stage.

Our Agile Development solution provides you with:

accelerated development through our project management discipline
higher-quality applications—quality is built in from the start of the cycle
the ability to handle changing requirements in a dynamic environment
a defined methodology and automated processes that enhance flexibility
accurate results through the integration of vision, processes, tools and people.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Involving QA early in planning and requirements definition ensures that your efforts are aligned with high-priority and high-risk areas of your project. We help you to achieve early and close collaboration between development, quality assurance, operations and line-of-business teams. This enables you to consider all important aspects of delivering high-quality applications: reliability, security, compliance issues and performance.

QualityPoint^® is our risk-based testing methodology. Developed to provide a repeatable process that best balances cost and degree of testing, QualityPoint helps ensure that your testing effort aligns with the most critical, highest-priority business requirements. QualityPoint helps you to accomplish your quality goals by:
