Information and Resources for Requirements Management and Requirements Reuse

Requirements may be the most critical aspect of the software development lifecycle. If software requirements are wrong or not clearly communicated, your system will ultimately be flawed – either technically or in the eyes of your customers. However, the area of requirements management is still a largely manual or paper-based process in most organizations, with requirements being contained and managed in MS Word or Excel documents. This presents a variety of challenges, and is a key point of discussion for organizations looking to gain efficiencies and improve development processes.

RM Zone is designed to bring forth the requirements management challenges that analyst development and testing teams are facing today, and help you in your quest to deliver software applications that meet the needs of the business. Using the knowledge of industry experts, RM Zone is a valuable resource bringing together articles, research, tools, events and other information that you can leverage to improve your requirements management practice.

What is requirements reuse?

“Reuse” is a well known practice in the development world but traditionally has focused mostly on the reuse of code and components. Sophisticated requirements management users have a similar, but unmet need to associate and reuse requirements. As organizations plan their requirements management strategies they should evaluate the need for and support of requirements reuse. Visit the Real Reuse section for more information.
