Structured Requirements


Problems and Challenges

REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT WRITTEN

Design or changes are expressed in oral form and most

often they are just guessed.

REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT SHARED

Every stakeholder has his/her own copy of the

requirements in silo’s

REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MANAGED

Change control is broken, slow, and not used



• Context Related

– Functional requirements

• Standalone

– Use Cases

• Visual / Textual

Context / Standalone Requirements

Traceability


Traceability

Traceability refers to the completeness of the information about

every step in a supply chain.

I want to change the

requirement. Where is it

used, and what is the

impact?



Understand the "Who, What, When" of any change

Historical Traceability - Auditability

Automatic change control of every Artefact

Process Versioning and Compliance Requirements

“Time Machine”: Browse, search and report any historical state



Link and Trace

Large Data Scale (50k Requirements)



Change Isolation and Impact Analysis

Requirements Specification Document Workflow

Requirement Work Item Workflow

One of the biggest German car manufacture

Daimler/Mercedes-Benz requires:

Once requirement is approved, it

can be changed only if the

modification of the specification

was performed and approved in a

sandbox. After it is approved the

change is published to main

information repository.



Design Requirements and Modeling

Traceability between element models and all lifecycle work items

Applies change control

Supports impact analysis of multidirectional interdependencies

Publish Simulink Models to Design Specification Documents

Accelerate Quality


• Assure that software meets requirements

– Intended use, behavior

– Goal is to find any errors (Bugs)

Example -

Verification



• Levels of software testing:

– Module

– Integration

– System

– Acceptance

Verification



• Tightly integrated process

• Requirements Based Testing

• Why?

– Verify that product actually does what it is intended for

– Further improves requirements

– Collaboration

Verification & Requirements



Verification & Requirements

Test Cases Test Specifications Test Run Templates Test Run Results



• Ecosystem of various tools used in the Testing phase of

software development for any given product

– Increase efficiencies

– Increase productivity

– Increase collaboration

– Better Traceability

Requirements Reuse


• Product Versions

– Start with existing System and Functional Requirements

• Product Variants

– Share as many of commonalities as possible

• Regulatory Requirements

– Safety, Security Requirements

Reuse, Share, Branch

Polarion Highlights

Transparency

Sirona Dental Systems uses Polarion solutions not solely to

achieve compliance with medical device regulations like FDA or

IEC 62304, but moreover to make the development process

lifecycle more transparent for all parties involved.

Ease of Use

The main reasons we ultimately decided to partner with Polarion were: ease of

use, and the ability to capture all project info in one system

LifeWatch

Efficiency

Major benefits for us include the "automated" traceability, impact analysis and

suspect link traces fully unified with change and version management.
