		<description><![CDATA[I am very pleased with the methodological change taking place in recent times where we are paying more attention to the requirement management activities and ensure their traceability throughout the testing process.   How can we achieve this?  A big part of this is due to the tools (old and new) available in the market that make this effort possible and valuable to the whole product team. Been this the case, I hope my reviews will help you choose the right tool for your needs and your organization.
