Overview

Cradle Enterprise manages data for all of your project phases. Capture data from external documents or tools and track changes to these sources. Build new sets of requirements, analysis, architecture and design models, tests or verifications and link them to the source data and each other. Check the quality of text, models and data structures. Prove information integrity with traceability and coverage analyses. Raise customers’ confidence with proof that your work satisfies its source data, complies fully with its constraints, and will meet customers’ needs. Generate full project documentation and track data in all issues of project documentation. Track your progress with metrics and KPIs and link your WBS and actual progress to project planning tools. Multi-user with built-in, user-defined CM, workflows and access controls, with support for multiple team collaboration and discussions.

You can create any number of projects, each with a schema and a database of any number of items of any number of user‐defined types. Each item can have any number of attributes with up to 1 TByte of data, held in Cradle, or referenced in files, URLs or other tools. All items can be linked with user‐defined types of cross reference. Links have attributes to justify, parametise or explain them. Links are direct and indirect, for full lifecycle traceability, impact and coverage analyses. External documents can be loaded into hierarchies of items. Every requirement, regulation or other item in Cradle is linked to its origin in a document. Changes in new document versions are automatically found and the database updated. You can prove the integrity of your source data to customers with a full range of coverage analyses of their documents.

Cradle tracks all edits to every requirement, test case, verification and all other information that you want it to hold. Edits can be reversed selectively or by group. Change logs are immediately available. All information can be checked for quality using user-defined rules that analyse text, model consistency and item structures. Model check rules can be customised. You define how information is viewed and reported in any number of views, shown as nested tables, trees, matrices, pivot tables, and as diagrams.

Cradle‐Enterprise is one of the Cradle product range that includes several low cost, single-user, options.
