New Product Release -- TBreq(TM) Automates Requirements Management for Project Teams.SAN BRUNO San Bruno (săn br  `nō), city (1990 pop. 38,961), San Mateo co., W Calif., a suburb on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1914. There is light manufacturing and petroleum refining. , Calif. -- LDRA LDRA Liverpool Data Research AssociatesLDRA Lake District Recreation Association , a leading provider of automated software development and testing tools, has today launched TBreq, the next generation in 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. technology. TBreq helps teams overcome the challenges of mapping test specifications, unit test scenarios A set of test cases that ensure that the business process flows are tested from end to end. They may be independent tests or a series of tests that follow each other, each dependent on the output of the previous one. The terms "test scenario" and "test case" are often used synonymously. , test data and code coverage verification with high level requirements and design requirements. TBreq interfaces directly with Management tools (DOORS(TM), ReqPro(TM), Word(TM), Excel(TM), etc.) to ensure traceability across the software lifecycle and the completeness of the requirements coverage. TBreq is fully integrated with the LDRA tool suite which, having been developed over the past 31 years, provides a stable and proven technology platform that draws upon LDRA's unrivalled experience and expertise in the field of software testing Software testing is the process used to measure the quality of developed computer software. Usually, quality is constrained to such topics as correctness, completeness, security, but can also include more technical requirements as described under the ISO standard ISO 9126, such . The LDRA tool suite with TBreq provides a solution for software developers, testers, QA managers, architects, business modellers and project managers. Combining the new features of TBreq with LDRA's leading-edge methodology, Zero Defect Software Development (ZDSD), the LDRA tool suite is the most feature rich and technically advanced product in the embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. development market. A key feature of TBreq is its ability to capture requirements from any management tool and source in order to provide a powerful capability which the market has not seen before. The LDRA tool suite integrates and automates Requirements Traceability Overview Traceability as a general term is the "ability to chronologically interrelate the uniquely identifiable entities in a way that matters." The word chronology (enabling requirements and design verification), Code Review (applying coding rules), Quality Review (determining code complexity, density and testability), Design Review (analysing interfaces, variable usage, timing and control flow), Unit Testing (testing) unit testing - The type of testing where a developer (usually the one who wrote the code) proves that a code module (the "unit") meets its requirements. (creating test harnesses In software testing, a test harness or automated test framework is a collection of software and test data configured to test a program unit by running it under varying conditions and monitor its behavior and outputs. and test vectors) and Test Verification (tracing test execution and determining code coverage). "The launch of TBreq marks an important stage in the development of the LDRA tool suite. The ability to directly map the requirements to the source code and provide a fully integrated solution brings great benefits and savings for our clients and greatly aids the process of software certification as the documentation provides a full audit trail," said Ian Hennell, Operations Director of LDRA.
