Using Atlassian Tools for Efficient Requirements Management An industrial case study

This paper describes an industrial case study using Atlassian JIRA (R) and third party plugins for requirements management in the field of transit systems. The solution presented shows efficiency in supporting the management of requirements, traceability and the systems engineering processes globally. After a short description of the technologies in action and a brief overview of the process we targeted, we describe the collection of methods and technologies put into place and demonstrate their use in order to achieve our goal: reaching CMMI-2 for requirements management and traceability. We describe the current background and scope of work, the needs and goals to meet, and then we explain our configurations and possibilities. Our results describe several sets of metrics we have obtained for traceability, starting from a customer requirement down to tests, considering multi-level analysis with specific criteria (verified, tested and justified).
