Requirement Composer vs. RequisitePro
Does anyone know the difference between them two? They're both for requirement management I think.
It looks like RequisitePro is no longer in the plan of Jazz platform. So will it be retired? If I plan to move to RequisitePro, what is the future when Jazz replaces current products? Thanks!! |

Does anyone know the difference between them two? They're both for requirement management I think. https://jazz.net/projects/rational-doors/rmtools/ The above, briefly describes the high-level differences between each product, and in the RequisitePro section references this blog: https://jazz.net/blog/index.php/2010/12/10/requirements-composer-beta-2a-big-step-forward/ Which mentions the following for Rational Requirements Composer: ** By using next generation RequisitePro I am implying that RRC is the means by which we will bring innovations in requirements practices and CLM to RequisitePro customers. This will involve migrating your teams and data to RRC sooner or later. Let me be clear: we are not about to sunset RequisitePro or ask RequisitePro customers to rush to adopt RRC. To the contrary, we expect many customers will continue to use RequisitePro for years and will adopt RRC as their project schedules and organizational priorities allow. We are working to keep RequisitePro vital; for example in 2010 we delivered quarterly maintenance releases, made significant performance improvements in ReqWeb, and added support for Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Word 2010. NOTE: That with the release of RRC V3.0.1.1 we have the first RequisitePro migration capability, as described in the new and noteworthy https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-requirements-composer/releases/3.0.1.1?p=news |

Thank you both, Robin and Daniel.
What is the quality of RRC - any supporting data? And is there a periodical patch or bug fixing release? |

What is the quality of RRC? This kind of question always is hard to answer definitively.
There are not a large number of customer-reported defects against RRC (APARs in IBM terminology). You can see the existing defect backlog (those found by customers, during our testing and in our self-use) in our work items here on jazz.net. A project to create a RRC release includes a quality plan: targets, measurements, assessment. We don't release until the quality plan results are deemed to be acceptable. We release quarterly fix packs; you can find them here on jazz.net; check out the "New and Noteworthy" for details of what's in them, for example: https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-requirements-composer/releases/3.0.1.1?p=news That said, RRC is only in its third major release, and we have a vision for delivering so much more in the requirements domain and the use of requirements across the lifecycle. You can see our plan for the 2012 release here. Perhaps some of you reading this who are using RRC to do "real work" for your organizations could comment on what YOU think about RRC (good and bad). |
I have been playing around in RRC (version 3.0.1), I have the following comments/questions:
1. In "creating a new artifact": Is there away to configure the create requirement panel so that the "open artifact" box is checked by default? 2. I know that there are rich text controls to set the font type/size/color for the text fields in the requirement. Is there any way to set the default font/size/color? 3. From the online help and my previous trial RRC version, I knew that I could choose "Multiple values" option to allow the users to select multiple values in the list of attribute values. But I did not see this option anymore in this 3.0.1 production version, not sure why? Thanks. |
