Additional DetailsPlease note that Cradle is licenced by fully floating concurrent module licences. So pricing will depend on your usage pattern. For example licencing for 10 engineers may require 7 REQ (Requirements Management) , only 2 SYS (Systems Engineering Modelling) and say 1 DASH (Dashboard analytics). Licences are only locked when that function is accessed, which means a large user base can have access to all functionality at a much low cost than usual pricing. That's why it's good to call.

OpenText
  • Traceability - will allow you to see end to end how requirements are related to each other, to project artifacts, how the requirement was tested, and the implementation code (when using with Serena CM).
  • Baselines - these are snapshots in time which are typically used at project phases and milestones. They allow you to see all aspects of a project from requirements to testing and how it has progressed or changed over time.
  • Test Management - test steps, execution, defect management are all included in RM, providing a powerful SDLC management platform.

  • it is a centralized software so the issue is only one user can have access to software at a given point of time
  • some times check-in and check out takes time
  • its little difficult for newbies to understand and work with
