Simple Requirement Management for JIRA

It is a good add-in that mixes very well with your JIRA experience and is very consistent with JIRA in all the ways. I would recommend anyone looking to manage requirements well in JIRA to consider this add-in.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The simplistic interface of R4J Add-In makes it very easy to manage and track requirements within the JIRA. Most software projects manage requirements using JIRA, but most struggle with managing requirements and organizing them, R4J excels in this aspect.

Cons:

The provision to define multiple versions of requirements could be a good value add. As of now, we have to update the single requirement if the requirement updates. It makes it little difficult to track the old requirements. Yes, we can do that via the History tab but this would be a good option to add.

Reasons for switching to R4J

Migrated from Polarion to JIRA

Vendor Response

Hello Rahul, thanks for your fantastic review, we are pleased that R4J serves your needs. To support multiple versions I can recommend you our reuse process: Just create from the existing structure a copy to a new folder and link the source and target issues to know the relationship. Then you can track both versions of your requirements. Best Regards, Bernhard

Pros:

I love the easy child access here, along with R4Js capability to handle any amount of parent-child hierarchies you might desire to trace (and document coverage of) your requirement. Take T4J in addition and this capability extends to verification specifications and even verification reports. 👍 I also appreciate the flexible export options to word documents with an extensible configuration language and word templates.

Cons:

That R4J and T4J are not available as cloud products (yet?)

Reasons for choosing R4J

Pricing, ease of administration
