Major Pillars of Rosario Release
Pillar 1: Application Quality & Testing
“Build it right – make sure it works”
Difficult for software teams to identify problems early in development, test
effectively and fix issues on time
In Rosario we enable software teams to:
Build software right from the start using best practices
Detect quality issues early in the cycle through automated issue
detection
Understand and quantify quality risk early by immediately surfacing
problem areas
Prioritize the right areas for testing and the best tests to test them
Effectively test the entire product using a new comprehensive test
product designed for testers
Major Pillars of Rosario Release
Pillar 2: Align Application Development with Business
“Build the right thing”
Difficult for executives and software teams to track progress and quality
effectively; get line of sight on how projects or features relate to business
objectives and requirements
In Rosario we enable software teams to :
Plan and prioritize effectively across a portfolio of projects, including
project demand
Plan and balance resources
Track progress real-time and adjust projects effectively when business
needs change
Report on and trace all metrics (progress, quality, …) back to business
goals and customer requirements/scenarios.
