Rommana

Rommana is a full lifecycle tool intended to be used from the project inception through the final testing of a project. The focus of Rommana is traceability from requirements to test cases with all the supporting documents such as change requests and issue reports. Rommana implements support for the software process taught by IIST. If you have been certified by IIST the concepts implemented in Rommana will be familiar to you.

Rommana uses a central repository to store artifacts created by members of the project team throughout the software project.

Rommana maximizes collaboration between all members of the project team as well as customers by providing a seamless fully integrated interface for all project functions.

Rommana is a web-based system that gives access to the project repository by team members and customers 24/7 around the globe.  Currently Rommana only supports IE versions 6, 7, and 8.

Rommana comes bundled with its own SQL Server Express engine. You may also use Rommana to access your own licensed copy of SQL Server.

The success of any project depends on how well the different phases of the lifecycle are managed. Many project managers think that good project management is all that it takes to have a successful project.

What if you had an Integrated Lifecycle Management methodology and tool, which maintains tight integration between these six processes?

Rommana is a leader in software lifecycle management which supports the following processes:

• Requirement Management
• Test Management
• Project Management
• Use Case Management
• Issue Management
• Change and Release Management

• One Common Repository for all Project Artifacts and Documentation
• Full Collaboration Between all Team Members Around the Globe 24/7
• Complete Traceability of Requirements to Use Cases, Scenarios, Test Cases, Test Sets, Test Scripts, Issue Reports, and Change Requests
• All reports Exported to Microsoft Word

Requirement Management
Using the Rommana Requirement Management component, you can:

• Define functional requirements, quality requirements and any other type of requirements as it fits within your project
• Import requirements from Microsoft Word or Excel files
• Maintain different versions of a requirement for different releases of the system
• Define Tasks, Risks, and Actions for a requirement
• Define Use Cases and Use Case Scenarios for a requirement
• Define all other types of Scenarios for a Requirement
• Declare a requirement as base-lined to control further changes
• Associate Change Requests to a base-lined or implemented requirement to create a new version of the requirement
• Plan different requirements for different releases of your system
• Associate different artifacts and models to provide more details for a requirement

Test Management
Using the Rommana Test Management component you can:

• Follow SBDT™, a Scenario-Based methodology for Development and Testing, to design test scenarios, test cases, and test scripts.
• Create test cases based on use case scenarios
• Create test scenarios based formal models such as Decision Tables and State Models.
• Maintain the traceability between requirements, scenarios, test cases, tests sets and test scripts
• Maintain pass/fail status on the test case level, the test set level, and the requirement level

Project Management
The Rommana Project Management component is used by project managers, development managers and test managers to perform the following tasks:

• Allocate and manage project resources, roles, responsibilities and access rights.
• Create and manage project task for both development and testing on the project level as well as on the requirement level.
• Create and maintain action item lists for both development and testing effort
• Manage risks throughout the project for both development and testing on the project level as well as on the requirement level.
• Create and maintain project timeline for all project tasks for both development and testing.
• Create and maintain cost and time estimates for both development and test tasks either on the projects level or the requirement level.
• Manage product release and features included in each release

Use Case Management
Using the Rommana Use Case management component you can:

• Define use cases to provide more details for a requirement
• Define use case scenarios for both development and testing
• Auto-validate use cases for completeness
• Maintains the traceability between Use Cases, Scenarios and Test Cases

Issue Management
Using the Rommana Issue management component you can:

• Create issue reports that are linked to test cases, test scenarios, use cases, and requirements.
• Supports an Issue Report Lifecycle throughout the testing and development phases
• Manage the relationship between issue reports and test cases.
• Provide up to date detailed status of issue reports and progress on handling them
• Allow developers to provide impact analysis information for each fix for the test team to use for effective regression testing
• Allow for tracking estimated and actual hours for working with issues

Change Management
Using the Rommana Change Management component you can:

• Create change requests either based on an existing requirements or just as a new feature
• Associate change requests to existing requirements to create new versions of the requirement
• Allow developers to provide impact analysis information for each change request for the test team to use for effective regression testing
