Jama Connect

The Engineering Team at my client was focused on developing the ability to demonstrate their engineering organization's ASPICE capabilities as they worked to improve their overall software quality. One of the necessary considerations was to have a Requirements Management tool that could support traceability. The use case focused primarily on software engineering and software development.

• Positive impact teaching how to write good requirements
• Positive impact learning how easy it is to do traceability
• Positive impact learning how to document test plans and test outcomes
• Positive impact with routings and approvals
• Business objectives are still a work in progress to meet but company is well on its way to meeting those related to Jama

Our organization uses Jama for requirements and risk management, as well as design verification and validation activities. Jama allows us to maintain traceability between system and subsystem requirements, test cases, and risk file line items. Having a single source of truth for our design history file content has been extremely valuable for future iterative new product development projects and scope assessments for design changes.

• Streamlined design change management
• Reduced rework burden from changes to requirements or traceability
• Let time spent copying and pasting between documents
• Fewer errors from incorrect item IDs in documents

The Jama application is for a development project which has a combined hardware and software aspects and requires DO178 standards on the software. Jama Connection together with Gitlab are enabling application and easy auditing and traceability with testing coverage

• It saves time for reviews and approval cycles by up to 50% compared to our normal process and cuts down on waiting periods.

My organisation uses Jama Connect for the purpose of requirements development and management. This scope is from the business level (in which we speak with business stakeholders) to the technical level (the implementation of the business stakeholder needs and desires). This allows for more targeted development of products in the context of the energy transition

• Clear insight into requirements
• One source of truth-principle
• Controlled changes and alterations

Jama is being used as a test management tool in my company. Am using Jama since 3+ years, and i can tell you that this was one of the best Test management tools I've ever used. Everything is so easy to understand and the interface is user friendly. Easy to use and can learn this tool fastly. I use this for Test plan, Test cases authoring, Test execution and results review along with the close out documentation. I definitely recommend other organisations to use this tool.

• Nothing went wrong and no blocker issues so far which impacts the business
• Recent issues we have seen is that, even we finalize the TC, it's still in draft.
