I have always struggled with this...and have never found a tool that I thought was adequate for the job. While the XP concept of user stories on cards is nice...it doesn't fit the bill for me (I loose paper).
Ideally, I'd like a tool that would - allow grouping of requirements by infinitely hierarchical groupings...e.g. features, sub-features, sub-sub-features etc. - tying a requirement to multiple features would be nice - enter a short description, as well as longer descriptions (user stories, etc) - testing methodology for each feature (not all features can be unit-tested easily) and test status - state (proposed, endorsed, in-progress, complete) - multiple-platform (Java preferred) - low TCO. Not just the price...but the overhead
The last point is why I always end up using Word or Excel or a few web pages...everything else just requires too much overhead (training, analysis, installation, data entry) or is too expensive for a small organization.
I've heard some people using a Wiki for this...having minimal experience with wikis, it's hard to believe that it would work well.
what do y'all use? C
