3SL[R] Inc. Releases Cradle[R]-6.0 Requirements Management and Systems Engineering Software.New Version Reduces Workflow with Integrated Advanced Modeling HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- 3SL([R]), a developer of innovative systems engineering products, today announced the release of Cradle-6.0. Cradle-6.0 is unique. It provides a complete end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. for requirements management The administration and control of the information needs of users. In order to achieve business objectives within an organization via information systems, user requirements must be defined in a consistent manner, prioritized and monitored. , model-based systems engineering, risk management and verification and validation Verification and Validation (V&V) is the process of checking that a product, service, or system meets specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose. These are critical components of a quality management system such as ISO 9000. (V&V) across the entire systems development lifecycle in a single product with a single User Interface. Cradle ensures end-user requirements are met by tying them to the methods and implementation details throughout development. As changes are made, the application provides traceability to understand and record the effect of a change in requirements or technical functionality to the rest of the program. Cradle-6.0 dramatically simplifies the processes of modeling a project and showing the links between end-user requirements and the plans on how to implement them. The streamlined workflow makes Cradle even easier to use while reducing the time it takes to get new users up to speed and effective. "Customers using the Beta version A pre-shipping release of hardware or software that has gone through alpha test. A beta version of software is supposed to be very close to the final product, but, in practice, it is more a way of getting users to test the software in the first place under real conditions. have been amazed at the new benefits and improvements in usability," said Mark Walker, President of 3SL. "Making tools more intuitive and streamlining the steps for modeling projects leads to projects that are accurate, complete, on time and within budget." 3SL is actively developing its next enhancement, a data cache to meet customers' interoperability needs. The data cache project is based on the proposed CMIS (Common Management Information Services) Pronounced "c-miss." An OSI standard that defines the functions for network monitoring and control. CMIS - Common Management Information Services standard intended to speed, secure and enhance data retrieval and increase interoperability with other applications. "While the proposed standard is still in its early stages, we are developing in-line with the predominate requirements," stated David Izatt, 3SL's Chief Software Architect. "Once released, it will provide an early proof point of the benefits derived from using this next generation, web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. model." 3SL is offering webinars and sessions about Cradle-6.0 enhancements.
