Most of the companies using Smartfacts use it a traceability platform across the whole “V” aiming to link engineering artifacts like requirements, test cases, architecture artifacts, source code and other pieces of information that might also be maintained in proprietary authoring tools. Nevertheless, there is more than traceability:
Easy access to engineering artifacts
Everybody should be able to access model-based content easily and in a consistent way, independent of the tool that was used to author the information.
Effective collaboration
Smartfacts users should be able to communicate effectively in the context of model-based content by adding comments to diagrams, chatting about a model, adding documentation pages or carrying out reviews.
OSLC based traceability management
Smartfacts comprises mechanisms to build links cross tool and cross domain to maintain traceability and provides powerful analysis mechanisms to generate the basis for better decisions.
Analysis
Analyze model-based data or traceability across tools, domains and platforms.
