Systems and methods for tailoring the functionality of software applications are disclosed. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention may tailor the functionality of a software application by tailoring the features of the interfaces of the software application presented to a user based on one or more maturity levels of the user. In this manner, the set of features, and thus the functionality or complexity of a software application, may be tailored to the maturity levels of a user.

Method and system for tailoring software functionality

Techniques are provided for baselining across multiple domains. Relationship information that associates a collection of requirement objects with a set of configuration management objects is stored. The collection of requirement objects is defined in a requirement management system for a software product, and the set of configuration management objects is defined in a configuration management system that is operable to manage the development of the software product. A particular requirement object from the collection of requirement objects is determined. Based on the relationship information, one or more configuration management objects that are associated with the particular requirement object are determined. A baseline that includes copies of the one or more configuration management objects is created and stored, where the copies include specific versions of the one or more configuration objects.

Method and system for baselining across multiple domains

Techniques are provided for identifying suspect links between objects from multiple domains. A plurality of links that associates a collection of requirement objects with a set of configuration management objects is stored. The collection of requirement objects is defined in a requirement management system for a software product, and the set of configuration management objects is defined in a configuration management system that is operable to manage the development of the software product. A determination is made that a particular requirement object was changed. In response to determining that the particular requirement object was changed, one or more links of the plurality of links are automatically determined. The one or more links respectively associate one or more configuration management objects, of the set of configuration management objects, with the particular requirement object. The one or more links are then identified as suspect.
