IRQA, the corporate Requirements Engineering Solution!
Competitive advantages |
WHAT IS IRQA?
IRQA is a state-of-the-art Requirements Engineering (RE) tool specifically designed to provide an integral support to the complete Requirements Engineering process.
IRQA is the ideal answer for companies looking for a definite solution to define and implement their requirements processes.
IRQA outstands as an excellent solution flexible enough to fit in a wide range of companies with basic and complex RM&E needs.
User can now have a totally integrated solution, through easy to use, proven functionalities.
Our powerful RE tool helps teams to build high-quality systems requirements specifications: users can capture and manage requirements, analyze them in relation with the business domain in which they are categorized, and represent the system being built by means of clear and expressive techniques, understandable directly by the end user. Besides, IRQA helps to manage the requirements and to trace them through the subsequent activities and stages in the system development. IRQA also adds graphical functions for supporting the specification organization for large and complex projects, guaranteeing the specification quality.
IRQA belongs to a new generation of Requirements Engineering tools: the emphasis is not only on requirements management but also on requirements analysis, project organization and the description of the high-level functions which compose the system being constructed. As a result, IRQA streamlines your software Requirement Management process to increase your efficiency and effectiveness in systems development by using state-of-the-art Requirement Engineering methodologies and techniques.
REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT
Capture, analyse, specify, model and trace requirements in the same tool. Define your corporate process and organise your requirements throughout your company. |
|
IRQA provides an intuitive and easy to use interface to manage requirements and other elements, in order to reduce end users learning curve and implementation time. |
|
BLOCK DIAGRAMS
Additionally to the usual textual view to manage requirements, users will now be able to standardize your Requirements process in the company with the help of the easy to use graphical models: the “block diagrams”.
These interactive blocks diagram will allow you to represent your “navigate” through the specification, focusing on the elements you want to work with, representing and managing visually the traceability between the elements, and sharing the structure between all the users of the system.
You will be able to represent your own points of view of your specification.
Some examples:
DOCUMENT VIEW
The IRQA 4 “intelligent” document view allows to represent this classification and the requirements they contain in a document like view.
This document view is displayed as a MS Word template, in which each chapter and subchapter corresponds to each one of the different types and subtypes of requirements defined in the block diagram.
End users will find an intuitive and easy to use “Requirements template” they will only have to fill in.
REUSABILITY
IRQA 4 provides a state-of-the-art reusability feature that allows sharing requirements among projects in different sharing modes (share, copy&link and copy).
This new capabilities allows to define a set of “reusable components” which live in different versions in different projects at the same time.
This feature goes far beyond a mere “sharing” of requirements, and specifically supports also Requirements Management & Engineering for product families and variants.
WORKFLOWS
Requirements lifecycle and many other workflows can now be represented graphically in IRQA attending the different transitions and User Groups (user profiles) existing in the project.
Each transition can be provided with specific scripts that will trigger actions within IRQA, like:
- Sending a notification email to the users involved when accepting/rejecting a requirement
- Sending an accepted requirement to a Project Management or SDM tool.
- Triggering a change in a requirement's attribute
- …and many other.
IRQA REPORT MANAGER
The reporting capabilities in IRQA 4 provide a wide range of predefined reports in IRQA, exportable to many formats (RTF, HTML, PDF, XLS, CSV, etc.).
For the most demanding, the new IRQA Report Manager provides a powerful and flexible report designer where users will be able to create specific reports:
- Element reports
- Traceability reports
- Dashboards & metrics
- …and many more!
TRACEABILITY
• Backwards
This Traceability Matrix can be combined with the Block Diagram structure to represent the traceability between two indirectly related blocks.
• Forward
However, forward traceability can also be represented in a tree view to be able to represent a proper change impact analysis.
MODELLING
| To complete the Requirements Engineering process, IRQA provides modelling features to represent Business Models, Requirements Modelling, and other models. |
TEST CASE SUPPORT
| IRQA support Test Case definition inside the tool, in order to provide an all-in-one interface, where users can perform all the activities related to requirements within the same tool. |
BASELINING
Even though IRQA is an easy to use tool, it includes powerful management features that cover the complete RM&E process, including baseline management. Baselines can be created, recovered and compared. |
IRQA QUALITY ANALYZER
The IRQA Quality Analyzer allows you to measure the quality of a particular requirement or a group of them.
This will also allow you to early detect low quality requirements, indicating ways and tips for re-writing them. Therefore, the cost of rework will be dramatically reduced. Quality assurance is easy with Requirements Quality Analyzer.
Furthermore, quality management information can be sampled at a project level, or at an engineer level, offering tips for process improvement.
