Description
NEC Corporation today announced the global launch of Obbligato III R3.1, the latest version of its Obbligato III Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, which consolidates the management of product technology data such as design drawings, specifications and bills of material (BOM).Obbligato III R3.1 classifies the development processes of embedded software into the stages of requirement specifications, unit design & implementation, unit & integration testing and requirement verification. Moreover, Obbligato III R3.1 manages requirement documents, specifications for functions & testing, as well as related documents and system configuration elements for each stage. It also uses "tickets" to manage tasks in the development process, such as development, engineering changes and countermeasures, and supports streamlining and quality improvement in the development process by visualization of the information concerning who has done what and when. Moreover, it links with the "subversion" software configuration management tool and enables the tracking of programs by using tickets.
