Starbase Announces CaliberRM 4.1; Empowering Organizations to Drive Development From Approved Requirements biz.yahoo.com SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Starbase Corporation (Nasdaq: SBASD - News), a leading provider of enterprise application management solutions designed to speed the software development lifecycle, today announced general availability of CaliberRM 4.1, the Company's collaborative, web-based requirements definition and management system designed to help organizations gain control of their product development process. With the introduction of multiple glossary support and the increased power of CaliberRM's Software Developer Kit (SDK), including enhancements to the Vendor Add-In Module Interface, functionality in CaliberRM 4.1 broadens an organization's ability to drive development from requirements. "CaliberRM provides a mechanism for driving every facet of the development process from approved requirements, effectively shortening the development lifecycle and improving time to market," stated Scott Hunter, executive vice president of engineering for Starbase. "New 4.1 functionality enhances an organization's ability to collaborate and communicate early on in the development process, helping project managers identify potential requirements problems and saving valuable development time." CaliberRM 4.1 extends the current glossary support allowing team members to develop customized project specific glossaries, ensuring more effective and efficient communication between all project members. The functionality of the CaliberRM SDK has been notably extended. The SDK is a fully documented application programming interface for building custom solutions and third-party product integrations. It provides developers with the ability to view CaliberRM data from within other applications, save CaliberRM data into different formats and easily create LiveLink(TM) integrations to other tools. In addition to COM and Java, CaliberRM 4.1 now supports .NET for both read and write operations. Continued Hunter, "We have also made enhancements to the Vendor Add-In Module Interface that will allow organizations to more easily write custom applications and provide direct interfaces into other applications. Often, organizations must associate requirements-related data in real time with data in other applications. With the SDK enhancements, CaliberRM 4.1 makes that process easier." The Vendor Add-in Module Interface allows third parties to create LiveLink(TM) integrations between external applications and CaliberRM. The Vendor Add-in Module Interface enables customers, vendors, and consultants with basic programming abilities to integrate CaliberRM with almost any other tool. This new capability preserves the customer's existing IT investments and enables them to take advantage of the benefits of integrated requirements management. CaliberRM facilitates communication among project teams, providing centralized information to distributed team members and facilitating discussions about requirements and project objectives. Through lifecycle traceability between requirements and related development and testing tools, CaliberRM assists project teams in understanding the impact of potential requirement changes on a project's scope, schedule and budget, before the changes are accepted. When requirement changes are made, CaliberRM keeps team members up to date automatically. CaliberRM 4.1 is available today.
