Comment What I use at work (Score 1) 200

My project has a team of about 40 people including people who develop and write our requirements, developers, integration testers, quality assurance testers, and various managers.
We use DOORS for formal documentation including requirements, high level design documents, and manuals. We use Visio to make UML diagrams for detailed design. We use ProcessMax to track defects in code (found by the integration test team or the QA test team), problems requirements, problems with other formal documentation, and to track the results of code peer reviews.

I've been using these tools for about 8 years now and so far they seem to work well for our team. Other teams in our division also use these tools. The only negative is that if I had my way we would use a better tool to generate UML.Our management doesn't see the need for that since the UML usually never leaves the development team and is not included in the formal documentation package we give to QA.

Good luck in finding a solution for your needs!

Submission + - Apple sued for use of tabs in Mac OS X 10.4

rizzo320 writes: "AppleInsider is reporting that "An Illinois-based company and its Nevada partner have filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc., alleging that Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" treads on an interface patent that affects the operating system's nearly universal use of tabs." The patent in question is 5072412, which was originally issued to Xerox in 1987, but now seems to be owned or licensed to IP Innovation LLC and its parent Technology Licensing Corporation. "Category dividers triggered by Spotlight searches, as well as page tabs in the Safari web browser, bear the closest similarity to the now 20-year-old description." of the patent. IP Innovation is requesting damages in excess of $20 Million, and in addition, an injunction against future sales and distribution of Mac OS X 10.4. Software patent reform can't come soon enough!"
