• Specification
• Requirements Tracking
• Analysis
• Design
• Testing
• Project Management

Analyst Pro has built-in change and configuration management, import/export capability and collaboration tools.

Analyst Pro simplifies your development process. It is process independent. You have the flexibility to use any formal process such as Agile, RUP, Waterfall, Spiral, and Incremental OR informal processes such as Extreme Programming (XP) and others for systems development.

• Classify and organize requirements in a repository.
• Automatically generate specification documents in pdf, rtf, and html formats.
• Easily sort, filter, and group requirements to generate reports.
• Export requirements into Excel, Word, and Ms Access
• Import requirements from various sources through Wizard. Edit requirements offline in a spreadsheet or word processor and then reconcile the changes with the database.
• Enable team members to collaborate and share project information without update conflicts. Manage the project workflow with built-in workflow tools.
• Automatically manage versions and manage product releases.
• Simplify the project traceability process with visual traceability tools
• Reuse project information with templates.
• Create diagrams and manage project files with integrated tools.
