Company
(http://www.pragmaticsw.com), a leading provider of application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions,
announced today the immediate availability of Software Planner 9.1 (http://www.SoftwarePlanner.com) for
managing all phases of the software development lifecycle. Software Planner is a complete ALM solution --

the new features accessible at http://www.pragmaticsw.com/Movies.asp?Topic=Release91r1SP.
Software Planner 9.1 includes the ability via drag and drop to associate requirements with test cases and
defects to provide full traceability for the software lifecycle. The traceability feature allows linking of any area
of the software to another with an easy-to-use drag and drop capability.
Software Planner 9.1 provides newly designed dashboards and reports to allow better metrics when managing
the software lifecycle. The project management feature has been improved with quicker performance and the
addition of burndown and velocity dashboards that allow teams to know precisely when projects will be
completed.
Software Planner 9.1 introduces keyword driven automated testing that allows automation engineers and
subject matter experts to create automated test cases without knowledge of scripting languages or detailed
knowledge of automated tools. Software Planner provides keyword driven automation with the major
automated testing tools including HP Quick Test Pro, Mercury Win Runner, Automated QA's Test Complete,
Silk, Rational Robot, and Rational Functional Tester.
“This latest release is a continuation of our quest to provide the most full-featured yet affordable ALM solution
