Choosing of solutionRisinajuma izvele

• Main Reqs in mind
• Comparison tables
• Wrong paths investigations
• Project.NET (very good product in many aspects,
  but had problems in resource management side)
• RTH (very good tool by idea, lot of bugs in the
  end of 2007 - beginning of 2008, looked like near
  the dead project for two years from beginning
  of 2009 again active due to efforts of two guys,
  at moment main bug fixing of v.1.6.1 done
  v.1.7.2 in SourceForge)
• Risk to choose the wrong path due to specific
  risks of OpenSource
• No guarantee (quality, future, usually
  insufficient documentation or undocumented
  features)
• could be problems with support
• Sometimes substantial debugging in the
  implementer side is necessary
