Rommana Components

Rommana ALM has the following components:

The Rommana Requirement Management component combines most features supported by most requirement tools. The integration of the requirement management tools with all other Rommana components through the common repository makes it possible for Rommana to provide complete traceability of requirements to Use Cases, Test Cases, Scenarios, Issue Reports, and many other project artifacts. This traceability is not supported by other requirement tools. Requirements tools in Rommana ALM was awarded "Best Requirement Tools" by RQX Global over 33 other requirement tools.

Testing tools in Rommana ALM are considered one of the best test management tools in the market today. The reason is that it does not only support all features supported by most test case management tools in a far superior way, but also they provides test teams with a robust methodology to design test cases in a way that is not supported in other tools in the market

Unlike other Project Management Tools, Rommana uses a requirements approach to project management. Managing project activities in terms of requirements or feature is critical to any project. Requirements-Based Project Management(TM) provides control that is not possible with other Task-Oriented project management tools such as MS Project. With Rommana Project Management tools, project managers and test managers are able to provide meaningful reports and perform meaningful impact analysis throughout all project activities.

Rommana uses Requirement-Based Project Management™ Methodology which makes one of the best project management tools in the market

The bug tracking tools in Rommana ALM not only supports all functionality that are supported by other issue tracking tools but also provides traceability of bug reports to test cases, use cases, and requirements. This traceability in a bug tracking software, which is enabled by the full integration of Rommana, makes issue management in Rommana ALM one of the best bug tracking tools.

Using the document management tools in Rommana ALM, you can perform many features that are not available in other document management software. Some of these features include:

• Create and maintain different types of documents and models
• Conduct a review and request an approval of a document
• Maintain different versions of a document or a model
• Attach a document or a model to a specific requirement or a group of requirements

Change management tools are essential for any software project. When customers wish to make a change in the system behavior, they normally express the change in the form of a Change Request. Most change management tools and change management software support the concept of a change request. Sometimes, the desired change is in a feature that was already released in a previous release of the software and sometimes the change is in a feature that is currently being implemented in the current project. Some might think that change management tools are only needed in projects that use a traditional waterfall model but not in projects using the agile approach. This is a misconception. In fact, change management software is critical for any project whether it is agile or waterfall.

In all cases, the change request submitted by a customer must be reviewed by the project manager, the release manager, or someone who is responsible for the release and the features included in the release and sometimes might have to be approved by some level of management. Once approved, a change request might be used to create a new requirement or a user story or it might be used to create a new version of an existing requirement or a user story.

Use Case tools help project teams create use cases as an accurate model of the interactions between actors in the application being developed. Use Case tools in Rommana ALM also allows the test team to create test cases for testing the application being developed.

Collaboration between team members is very critical to the success of any project, agile or not. Team members need to continuously collaborate in every aspect of the project. The Collaboration Management Component of Rommana ALM, being one of the best agile tools in the market today, provides a powerful set of agile collaboration tools that are not supported by other agile tools in the market. This set of agile collaboration tools help all team members as well as stakeholders continuously collaborate for the success of the project. Most importantly, agile collaboration tools in Rommana ALM keeps track of all collaborations and maintains them in the project database. At any time, even after the project is over, you can easily run a report of any type of what is called "collaboration notes" whether it is about requirement reviews, test case reviews, document reviews or any other of collaboration notes.
