We know it: most people prefer to use pen and paper or a whiteboard to make software mockups because “it’s the fastest way”.
Well, if you count the time it takes to transfer the mockup from paper to a digital image, we think Balsamiq Mockups is faster, not to mention much easier and, dare we say it, more fun!
We optimized the user interface for speed: fewer buttons, more keyboard commands, full undo/redo, object snapping...you name it.
TestLink is a open source web based TEST MANAGEMENT and test EXECUTION system under the GPL license (i.e. free to use). The tool enables quality assurance teams to create and manage their test cases as well as organize them into test plans. These test plans allow team members to execute test cases and track test results dynamically, generate reports, trace software requirements, prioritize and assign.
The tool is based on PHP, MySQL, and includes several other open source tools. We support interface to Bug tracking systems as is Bugzilla or Mantis.
Studies (eg Standish, 1995 et al) show that poor requirements are a prime cause of project failure or insufficiency, yet commercial requirements tools are very expensive. There exists no full-featured Open Source Requirements Architecture tool. This project intends to fill that gap, integrating with other Open Source CASE tools to provide a complete Open Source CASE environment.
Das war mal rapidrabb.it (o.ä.). Mir scheint, so ziemlich jedes zweite innovative Online-Enterprise-Angebot ist irgendwie mit dem HPI verbandelt.

So schnell und einfach wie Rapid Paper Prototyping, aber online, klickbar und mit viel mehr Funktionen!
The project specification can be defined in word processor format as you would normally. By adding some special items, such as titled bulleted lists and highlighted text items, both a test suite and glossary can be written right into the spec. The Arbiter server will parse these documents and run the tests, reporting the results into the documents themselves. This allows the client to see project process.
Two powerful tools for communicating requirements from your customers, and testing those requirements, are Fitnesse and Selenium. Fitnesse, a wiki encapsulating the Framework for Integration Tests (aka FIT), enables customers to write sentence-like tests which can be mapped to the underlying system. Selenium drives a browser without all of the fragile mouse coordinate testing you get from a lot of testing tools (ala WinRunner).
XRules is an XML business rules language that expresses constraints, calculations, interdependencies, and properties that describe and exist among elements and attributes of an XML document. XRules can be used to validate business rules in an XML transaction, attach metadata to the XML Infoset, or add dynamism to XML by using the Dynamic DOM.
The PLANdora project was born with the intent of to be a tool to help the software development process, since the customer requirement until the task conclusion, and consequently gather the "history" of project. The PLANdora system can be useful for teams that have problems with resource bottle-necks, parallel projects, critical dead lines, necessity for scope documentation of tasks and requirements, etc.
A cogent analysis of the underlying complexity of software engineering. Each problem is new; software is the most complex thing humans have ever built; it is impossible to measure complexity of something given that product. Software is fractal in complexity (really?)
