What software can gather functionality changes from developers, and then present a list to managment?

Reversion Control software can keep track of code versions, however there has to be some software that can help keep track of the functionality changes (e.g. What they are, whether they have been tested, and whether they have been released, etc) to give an overview to folks from the business side of things as to what is going on in a project. Right now my solution involves lots of emailing back and forth and putting things in a spread sheet. The business users are happy with the information I am giving them, but it is a pain to manage, and the developers don't have time to be responding to my emails.

Rational Software. This company (now owned by IBM) has many software suits used for managing every aspect of software development, from analisys to release management and testing. They probably have something you could use.

IBM/ Rational Suite If your company is looking for an integration suite with tracability from requirements to code, you should check out the IBM/ Rational products. This also assumes that there is some discipline in your software development organization (for example, are requirements collected once and documented, or are requirements MANAGED? ).

If the organization has the discipline to use the tools so that the artifacts at each stage build on the artifacts from prior work, then it is possible to have traceability from requirements to design, to code, to testing, and within the loop of unit testing, code test coverage, integration testing, etc. If the discipline doesn't exist, no tool in the world will give you what you need. I have worked with the IBM/ Rational tools since 1994 (Rational Rose for C++), through the integrated lifecycle suite developed by Rational, and then sold to IBM.It was the first integrated suite of tools that covered all workflows in the lifecycle, but there are other products on the market today. But, without discipline, the information will not be collected, and the reporting, tracking, and dashboard tools won't have meaningful content to show to managmement.

Too often, management wants these 'snapshots' of progress and events in a project, without realizing the discipline, effort, and cost involved. Sources: personal expereience .

An issue tracker like Bugzilla might work for you. If you’ve used SourceForge, you’ve probably seen their "trackers". Bugzilla is one you can install and use in your company.

You can enter any planned changes as "bugs" (which might seem awkward, but that's the term they use for all issues), update their progress as they’re developed, and anyone who’s interested can view the database or subscribe to receive email updates. They even have a test server you can play with before deciding to use it for real.

Make a list of a least three useful open source software the are used in software development.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
