OnTime Bug tracking software – $5 (or free) from Axosoft

Posted on:

Seriously.

There’s a crazy deal being offered by Axosoft. Buy a 5-user version of their $500 software suite for $5, but the offer expires February 24th. The link to buy the software is here – and only available on blogs. Axosoft is trying a social marketing experiment to see if they can promote their products and brand via the blog universe. It isn’t clear at what hour the offer expires, so you might want to get it on the 23rd.

Writing Functional Requirements to Support Use Cases

Posted on:

Background:

In our previous post, Sample use case examples, we created two informal use cases. The use cases were written to support product requirements defined as part of a project to reduce test suite maintenace costs. In this post, we will define functional requirements that support these use cases. This process is an example of using structured requirements, applied to a small real world project.

We’re now looking at making it easier for the development team to maintain this test suite, and proposing some extensions – including a form of tagging.
