Is there a tool for capturing functional landscape?

1 New Member
Hi,

I'm looking for a tool that can capture system functional capability/landscape, and ideally the management of functional design specifications.

Some background:

Functionally, we've broken our system down into a series of:

- Modules (4 in total)

- Functional Areas (about 20)

- Feature Groups (about 600)

- Features (about 1400)

This is currently all managed in a large, complex and pretty difficult to maintain Excel worbook.

Our functional designs are stored in an internally developed 'Document Repostory' (a notes database), but again, it's not the best version system for our documents and doesn't manage different branches of code versions/documents very well.

So, I'm looking for a tool that effectively allows me to define the functional system architecture/capability in whatever kind of hierachy I define. Ideally, I want to be able to start at the Module level, and then drill down into Feature and find the relevant functional design documentation (e.g. a UID or Use Case)

I've struggled to find anything that might allow me to do this and have resigned to the fact that I might need to develop somthing myself; however I'm hoping you can help!

What do you use to manage these kind of things?

Thanks!

We have different types of cameras but can work on switching to a specifc brand...

I posted under a different subject earlier, no responses. I have changed the question somewhat. Is there a way to have the report come up in landscape, not just print in landscape? I know how to get it to print in landscape no problem. I want the report to display to the user in landscape. I can click on the rpt file and go in there and set the printer options to landscape, but all this does is print it out in landscape.

Hi all, I haven't experienced functional programming very much, but now I'm trying to learn Haskell and I've learned that: 1) in functional programming LISTS are fundmental; 2) any "cycle" in FP become recursion. I also know that Python got some useful tool such as map, filter, reduce... so I told: "let's try some FP-style programming with Python!". I took a little example of Haskell: listprimes :: Integer -

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
