Seapine, a vendor of application life cycle management products, has announced the release of TestTrack RM for managing and tracking project requirements "throughout the entire development life cycle." 

Company officials say it's part of Cincinnati-based Seapine’s recently-launched TestTrack 2010 product "that includes the latest versions of issue tracking and test case management applications."

Mark Shapiro, chief technology officer, Segue Technologies, an IT products vendor and early adopter of TestTrack RM, said early in the specification phase "we were trying to formalize on a requirements definition process and select the best tool to employ." He said the company liked TestTrack's integration with other Seapine tools "and reasonable pricing."

TestTrack RM builds on the platform of TestTrack Pro and allows users to manage requirements definition, including planning, traceability, impact, review processes, measurement, and reporting. It also "ensures team members stay informed of each other’s tasks and progress by centralizing requirements management, automating the requirements planning and review process, and triggering RSS feeds and e-mail communications," company officials say.

It has features to meet regulatory compliance requirements, including 21 CFR Part 11, Sarbanes-Oxley, and others as well.

In July Seapine announced the return of Jay Luis as vice president of marketing.

A 19-year high-tech business-to-business marketing veteran with proven success in the development and implementation of international marketing and communication programs, according to Seapine officials, Luis returned to lead the company's worldwide marketing initiatives with an emphasis on product and solutions-based marketing, demand generation, partner marketing, media relations, and marketing communications.

Most recently, he worked as director of market development for Barco's simulation business in North American as well as the account manager for the organization’s largest international customer. 

Previously at Seapine, he was the director of marketing where "he played a central role in the rebranding strategy, corporate positioning, and the development of strategic marketing campaigns to a broad range of markets," Seapine officials said.
