iRise has joined the HP AllianceONE partner program to help promote iRise Connect™ for HP Quality Center, an automated integration of the market leading application visualization capabilities in iRise with the robust requirements management and testing capabilities of HP Quality Center. iRise Connect for HP Quality Center enables business analysts to combine the powerful application visualization capabilities in iRise to elicit and validate requirements for business software with the robust requirements management traceability capabilities in HP Quality Center to track and manage requirements throughout the application development cycle.

Specifically, using the integration, any text based requirements captured in iRise can be exported to HP Quality Center along with a link back to the interactive visualization in iRise and any associated screen flows and screen shots. Once in HP Quality Center, the requirements can be reviewed, revised, tracked and managed along with releases, tests, and defects. If needed, the business analyst or other users of HP Quality Center can link to the iRise visualization directly from HP Quality Center, empowering them to resolve business requirements quickly and easily during projects.

Trinity Technology Group, a consulting firm that serves both public and private sector clients, has leveraged iRise to define a new grant application and processing system for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), a regional agency of seven counties whose goal is to reduce harmful emissions in the San Francisco bay area. The new system enables citizens to apply for and manage grant applications online and replaces a paper based system, dramatically improving citizen access and agency responsiveness.

Before iRise the business analysts at Trinity would have used paper based tools to document requirements and spent the money to develop a low fidelity wireframe prototype in an attempt to clarify needs. For this project the business analysts instead used iRise during stakeholder review meetings to capture and visualize requirements for the new system. Ultimately the visualization became an exact guide for the new system, ensuring that the development team was going to deliver precisely what was needed by the BAAQMD. "Visualization accelerated the development process," continued Mr. Williamson. "Being able to demonstrate how the new system was going to work with iRise was incredibly powerful. We got through reviews more quickly and the visualizations allowed us to move forward with many activities in parallel."
