DESIRe®

DESIRe^® supports authors writing or checking requirements in the quality assurance of requirements written in the natural language. It is a software tool that in the chosen requirement, depending on the words used (e.g. ambiguous words and verbs etc.), displays predefined questions in a popup window. These are questions regarding possible weaknesses in the requirement. By mentally answering these questions, the idea is for the requirements author to then rework the wording of the requirement as necessary. This ensures that basic rules for requirements, such as completeness, consistency, understandability etc., are followed and the quality of the requirement is improved.

DESIRe^® can also be used by persons checking requirements, since it offers an efficient way of commenting on the quality of the requirements. To ensure that the expected benefits are more quickly realised, it is important that DESIRe^® is modified to reflect company- or project-specific questions and information. DESIRe^® is available free of charge at DESIRe.HOOD-Group.com A basic set of questions and notes are available in German and English. Current information is available from the website DESIRe.HOOD-Group.com DESIRe^® can also be customised according to your company's own needs.
