FAQ

Why is requirements management important?

Requirements management is a cornerstone of product development. It both formalises the vision of your product owner into action items and dictates priorities for implementing them. A project with inefficient requirements management will crawl at a modest pace. A project without requirement management will not succeed at all. 

What are the steps of requirements engineering?

The general consensus covers 4 key steps: feasibility study, requirements discussion & analysis, definition of software requirements, validation. The last step technically comes after requirements have been made, but it’s needed to assess them.

What is the difference between a requirement engineering tool and requirement management tool?

These terms are often used interchangeably. You may, however, find that some tools are less suited for defining requirements than managing them (and vice versa).

What are the requirements engineering methods?

The methods for requirements engineering include end-user and developer interviews, surveys, common brainstorm techniques, user behaviour and market observations.

Why aqua is the best tool for requirements engineering?

aqua is the solution to make requirements engineering practical. It is an ALM solution so all development and QA can happen in the same tool. The AI copilot creates entire test cases to cover your requirements, too.

Requirements management tools have a few direct benefits:

  • Consistency achieved from using a collaborative, 24/7, up-to-date requirements database
  • Time saved on creating and assigning similar requirements
  • Silos removed by keeping communication in a single tool
  • Costly mistakes prevented with native workflows
  • Transparency to stakeholders via high-level and low-level progress overviews
Requirements Management

The primary functionality of a requirements management tool is to ensure that you can handle and organise them in an efficient way. Here are some features that will help:

  • Custom folder arrangement and project structure
  • Native Agile and/or Waterfall functionality
  • Integrations with defect management and test management tools
  • Audit-ready traceability
  • Granular permissions to browse and modify tickets
  • Insightful reporting and dashboards
