Product Overview

Product Overview

Competitive Advantages

Current State

P Handheld application (for PDAs) P Desktop companion P Multi-platform P Pattern-based design P XML-based document format (RQML) P Methodology-agnostic P Open-source license

P Handheld and Desktop applications: < Natural-language requirements collection < Single user < Java desktop application < SuperWaba handheld application < Supports PalmOS and PocketPC < Limited functionality

P Immediate next phase: < Traceability functions < Seamless data transfer (desktop conduits)
