Application lifecycle management performs better and more reliably with a full-development lifecycle tool, Cradle. The full development process managed efficiently, seamlessly and frictionless, in one database in one tool. Cradle is developed with Cradle.
Import all types of requirements into multiple hierarchies which keeps full bi-directional control, through transitive links, to all levels of your project, allowing full traceability and coverage, which alerts stakeholders to changes.
Whether using agile, waterfall or any other methodology, Cradle can be configured to comply with YOUR development processes, with dozens of diagram types, full project management features and publishing you can keep control.
The Cradle database encapsulates and links all the relevant data allowing full testing of all software features, linking to changes, linked to analysis, linked to requirements, ensuring testing the correct features in the right way.
The full end-to-end management features within Cradle gives confidence to all teams in every step of the development lifecycle. Cradle is so good for Application Development, that Cradle itself is developed using Cradle.
Cradle is a full project lifecycle tool, which enables you to do everything you require in Enterprise Architecture from requirements management, through systems analysis, architecture design, modelling, testing and implementation. Requirements management is FULLY integrated into every level of the tool. All in one tool in one database.
A small selection from our hundreds of satisfied and impressed customers.
"I have been a Cradle user and administrator for 7 years of my over 25 year career as a Software Analyst and Programmer. Cradle is by far a superior systems engineering software tool. Over the years as a Cradle administrator I have utilised many of Cradle's features. I have managed large amounts of engineering data for both NASA and contractors. I can say that Cradle is a very powerful and feature rich engineering tool. The user interface, administrative and development tools, document capture/publishing and modeling capability in addition to the Web interface all make Cradle superior in engineering tools."
"As a database administrator on a large scale NASA project, I have found 3SL to be extremely responsive to their customer needs and always willing to go the extra mile to help ensure their success. Their support has been second to none."
"Cradle is great to work with. Having multiple people editing a set of requirement at the same time was one of the reason we procured Cradle. Cradle can show all links to/from an object(item) and relationships between many object modules. Hence, Cradle can show a full end to end traceability.
Cradle supports the full system lifecycle. Cradle has integrated modelling (for full MBSE), supporting any number of fully integrated and cross referenced process, analysis, architecture and design models, all linked to all other project data. Cradle supports a variety of modelling notations, including SASD, IDEF, UML, FFBD, PFD, ADARTS and others. "
"Ease of configuration management for large groups of design data. Ease of training new users. The degree that an administrator can enact global database schema changes with no error. The ease with which the schema for item types can be defined. The ability to feed simulation using design data and schedules as well as DRM (design reference mission) Idef architecture. The tool suite presents a single integrated environment to link design architecture, requirements, and specifications in a conguration controlled database. "
"In-Depth Engineering uses Cradle as its requirements management tool on the development of mission critical systems for the Navy. This includes systems that preset and deploy weapons, and systems that provide critical sensor and targeting information. Cradle's extensive feature‐set allows us to manage, collect, organise, and derive requirements in a manner consistent with the unique needs of every project. Cradle's flexibility allows us to create new requirement relationships to solve unique System Engineering problems. When we need assistance, we do not hesitate to contact 3SL for Cradle support. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and have always been available to help us with our problems."
"3SL were very active in their support to me and highlighted that we had local support available through Simon Fearnley and Agile Controls in Adelaide Australia. A webinar was arranged with Mark Walker in the United Kingdom that Simon attended. I had included a number of systems engineers including the Chief Engineer and we were all thoroughly impressed with Mark's knowledge and the capabilities of the tool, not only for design but for the complete Systems Engineering lifecycle and various subtleties linking requirements, design, and test but parametric modelling, configuration management, document generation and engineering and project management support. We bought the tool, recognising the potential for a substantial productivity gain and improvement in quality. At a training session I continued to be impressed as I discovered yet more features of the tool. Consultancy has further helped to configure the tool for our specific needs. I have been nothing but thoroughly impressed with not only the breadth and depth of capabilities of the Cradle tool, its flexibility, integration, and price (value for money), but in with outstanding pre-sales and post-sales support we have received from 3SL. I would thoroughly recommend Cradle and 3SL for complex systems engineering projects."
