Requirements Engineering & Management

Requirements Engineering & Management
I would like to edit a lot of information like requirements in a spread sheet similar form. It should support:

• Linked Document
• Tagged Values
• Properties
• Linked elements
• Views of the informations I want to edit

Also a good idea regarding requirements is the idea of Suspicious Links.

And as the icing on the cake Import and Export of Requirements in RIF/ReqIF Format.

These wishes will bring us a step nearer to

• handle 3000 and more requirements
• No need to integrate a requirement tool
• Exchange requirements with customer

I know thats not a simple task. It would take some steps.


Kind regards,

I don't know if it' a good idea to make EA a RM tool :-/ There are quite some out in the market and RaQuest as an add-in solution. EA should stay an UML modeling tool and I like it to be (much more) stable and consistent.

Hi,

RaQuest looks interesting. Thanks for your advise.

Kind regards,

Hold your horses there. EA can be very good at RM, it depends what you want to do. The beauty of EA is it can be all things to all people, just look at the diverse uses mentioned in the forums. My advice would be, try it out and see how you get on.

EA allready holds all needed options for being a RM-tool. It's about the way you want to use EA.

Most items work out of the box, however a fine-tuning is recommended.

The nice itema about it (my opinion): There is no need of a break between requirement, requirement modelling(traceability) and the "real"-modelling within the software development.

Additional other groups like HW or mechanical development can also be embedded into the EA-workflow.

Best regards

Stefan

Doug, I didn't say you can't use EA for RM. I just don't want it to be over-tuned (natively) for RM use.

Helmut, just by coincidence Sparx Japan have started a peer review for RaQuest. See tkouno's post in the general board.

Hi Stefan,

what would you recommend for the fine tuning?
