AI-Supported Assistance Functions in ReqSuite® RM

In requirements management, precise and complete requirements are crucial for the smooth and successful completion of projects. ReqSuite® RM requirements management software includes a range of AI-based features that help users to create high-quality requirements and monitor their compliance. These functions optimize efficiency for individual users as well as the entire development process at company level.

This article presents the individual functions.

‍

Work proposals to identify gaps in the requirements hierarchy

The “Work Suggestions” function provides users with a wizard that guides them step-by-step through the process of refining their requirements. Instead of simply pointing out potential gaps or incomplete elements in the requirements hierarchy, the assistant actively guides the user through each individual step. The AI analyzes the structure and content of the requirements and specifically indicates which information should be added next. In doing so, it takes best practices and industry-specific standards into account in order to provide users with optimal support.

Benefit: For users, this guided refinement process means significant time savings and higher quality documentation, as important details are not overlooked. Organizations benefit from a standardized approach and complete requirements, which leads to better project results and more efficient communication between teams.

‍

Quality check and automatic improvement of requirements

Clearly and precisely formulated requirements are crucial in order to avoid misunderstandings and undesirable developments. The quality check in ReqSuite® RM recognizes unclear formulations, imprecise terms or incomplete information and makes concrete suggestions for improvement. The user has the option of adopting these automatically, which directly improves the quality of the requirements.

Benefit: Users receive specific tips on how to improve the quality of requirements and can thus directly increase quality and comprehensibility. For companies, this function means fewer coordination problems and corrections in the course of the project, which leads to more efficient use of resources and lower overall costs.

‍

Detection of duplications and contradictions

The increasing number of requirements in large projects can quickly lead to duplicates or contradictory requirements. ReqSuite® RM uses AI to automatically identify such inconsistencies. The function checks for content overlaps and highlights potential conflicts so that they can be resolved at an early stage.

Benefit: Users save valuable time by being alerted to redundant or conflicting requirements and. Organizations benefit from the fact that their requirements remain consistent and clear, which supports the entire development process and reduces the risk of subsequent adjustments and undesirable developments.

‍

Automatic comparison with requirements from previous projects

Knowledge and experience from previous projects are valuable resources. ReqSuite® RM enables an automatic comparison of current requirements with those from previous projects. The AI recognizes similarities and can suggest corresponding evaluations and answers to these requirements

Benefit: This function allows users to benefit efficiently from existing information and experience without the need for manual research. Companies can therefore make optimum use of their knowledge base, which can significantly speed up and simplify the review of recurring customer inquiries in particular.

‍

Automatic refinement of requirements

In complex projects, requirements often have to be broken down hierarchically for different system components. The AI of ReqSuite® RM helps to automatically refine coarse-grained requirements into fine-grained, specific requirements so that the most important implications of a high-level requirement for certain components become immediately apparent.

Benefit: Users save time by receiving suggestions and inspiration when refining requirements. For organizations, these features reduce dependency on specific experts, allowing new and less experienced people to be involved in requirements analysis.

‍

Automatic derivation of test cases

Linking requirements and test cases is a key factor for quality assurance and traceability. ReqSuite® RM enables the automatic derivation of test cases directly from the defined requirements so that a seamless link to the test phase can be established.

Benefit: Users save time in test preparation, as relevant test cases can be created automatically from the requirements for the most part. For organizations, these functions also reduce the dependency on special experts, which means that new and previously less experienced people can also be used to create test cases.

‍

Automatic translation of requirements

With the growing globalization of projects, multilingual requirements documentation is becoming increasingly important. ReqSuite® RM can automatically translate requirements into different languages, facilitating collaboration between international teams and ensuring that all project stakeholders clearly understand the requirements.

Benefit: Users receive support in communicating across language barriers, which simplifies coordination in international teams. Organizations benefit from requirements being globally accessible and translation errors being minimized without having to spend additional resources on human-based translation services.

‍

Checking the consistency of refinement

The refinement of requirements can often lead to inconsistencies between the coarser and detailed requirements. ReqSuite® RM therefore offers a function for checking the consistency of refinement and ensures that all refined requirements remain consistent with the higher-level requirements.

Benefit: Users benefit from support that helps to avoid errors or contradictions between refined and higher-level requirements. For organizations, this means greater process reliability and less effort for subsequent corrections, resulting in a smoother project flow.

Conclusion

The AI-based assistance functions of ReqSuite® RM offer comprehensive support that goes beyond the individual application. These functions not only promote the efficiency and quality of requirements documentation, but also contribute to process optimization at company level. The combination of smart support and automated processes enables companies to better structure their requirements management processes, conserve valuable resources and ensure the long-term quality of their projects.
