Change Management System (CMS)

SystemWeaver includes an integrated change management solution so you can track the development of models or individual items. Issues in your change management project can be linked to specification information so that relations are created between specifications and the change issues. These relations may be defined at any time and can be one-to-many or many-to-many to fit any need. For example, you can create an issue for a development task. The issue could first be linked to the specification or requirement that needs to be created or changed and then later linked to the design component, and then finally to the test cases that need to be created or changed as part of developing the issue. This section contains how-to articles covering the use of CMS Projects to track and control development in SystemWeaver.
