iRise Connect for IBM

Integrate with IBM Rational requirements tools

Visualization is a powerful way to capture business needs at the start of any complex software project. Many organizations have also invested in tools from IBM Rational that complement visualizations with requirements definition and management capabilities used by downstream development, QA and documentation groups. iRise provides the following integrations to these tools:

iRise Connect for IBM® Rational Requirements Composer™ makes high-fidelity iRise visualizations instantly accessible from within IBM Rational Requirements Composer using a technology similar to popular YouTube video embedding. Using iRise Connect, downstream organizations can see and fully interact with iRise visualizations from anywhere within the Requirements Composer environment so there is no confusion about what to build. With iRise Connect, Requirements Composer truly becomes a single collaborative environment where software delivery teams can aggregate textual and visual business artifacts such as storyboards, scenarios, flow diagrams and iRise visualizations. With this integration, IBM and iRise provide a complete requirements definition solution that ensures that the right application requirements are being captured, defined, collaborated on and managed throughout the product life cycle.

iRise Connect for IBM Rational® RequisitePro® is a bi-directional, server-to-server integration between iRise Definition Center and the IBM Rational RequisitePro requirements management tool. Using this integration, text requirements captured in iRise Studio are automatically reflected in the IBM RequisitePro tool and vice versa. iRise Connect ensures requirements captured and visually articulated in iRise are kept synchronized with downstream organizations as the product lifecycle transitions from requirements definition to requirements management.

The combination of iRise application simulation and sophisticated requirements management forms a complete solution for getting requirements right and then successfully managing them through the development and delivery phases of business application projects. As a result, innovation is delivered to market faster, with less risk of rework and delays due to miscommunication.
