Project history

This project began in 2012 when I decided to create a tool to simplify the search of requirements stored in Excel files that are used by QA engineers, developers, analytics and other people. It was named RQS and located in the gui branch.

When this was done, other people found this tool useful. Since it takes a lot of time to parse Excel files, that was done for every user request, I have created another implementation of the utility that provides web service to perform a search in a second. This time it was named WebQA and located in webqa branch.

WebQA worked well but sometimes we experienced exceptions by different reasons. That is why I started working on the next implementation. It is called Fuse and located in fuse branch. The work was not stopped and froze before competition because our requirements have highly changed.

The most recent implementation of the utility called jRQS is located in the java_web_app branch. Instead of creating web servers ourselves we started to use a Tomcat and Java Server Pages (JSP). The master branch contains this Java implementation and is the default one.

Since this repository contains all the implementations, it has 4 main branches and looks like as on the picture below.
