Perform Checks
With this method you get results of a linguistic quality check for requirements in the specified language {lang}, whereby this is currently possible in German (DE) or English (EN). The mandatory boolean field {checkRequirement} indicates by true or false whether the algorithm shall check for statements that are not written in a requirements-like manner. The mandatory boolean field {checkTerms} defines by true or false whether to give a recommendation which terms and abbreviations shall be defined.

Use this method to get results of a linguistic similarity search for requirements in the specified language {lang}, which currently works for German (DE) and English (EN).

Settings
This method allows you to define which black and white lists in the specified language {lang} (German (DE) or English (EN)). If you specify only terms in the “use” field, the quality checker will learn these terms and will not list them in the glossary recommendation. If you specify both “avoid” and “use” fields, the quality checker will recognize the use of these undesirable terms and will provide appropriate alternatives instead.
Please note that each call of this method overrides the existing word list, i.e., you must always enter all terms in each call and not only the terms you want to update.
[ { "avoid": "requirements analysis, requirements development, requirements elicitation", "use": "requirements engineering" }, { "avoid": "software development, software creation", "use": "software engineering" } ]
Response:
-
With this method you can mark a given review as wrong or not appropriate, e.g., because it is a false positive.
