What is the difference between Variants and Baselines?
On the Cloud, we have two ways to manage versions: Baselines and Variants. Don’t know the difference? Check our guide:
Use cases
Baselines | Variants |
|---|---|
We want to create a Baseline for each new release of the product. | We need different specifications for 2 different customers, and they are slightly different. |
We want to keep track of requirements that have been approved by the client. | We must keep the public version intact, while we're currently working on the next version of the product |
Use as a history tool | Parallel evolution of the same product but with small differences |
I want to test a specific version of requirements and link it to Jira. | |
Features Comparison
Feature | Baselines | Variants |
|---|---|---|
Create versions of requirements |
all requirements, or a preset from the search, or from a page. |
Variants are assigned per page (you can assign them one at a time, or multiple pages at once). |
