SMaRT - Scenario Management and Requirements Tool

Requirements elicitation, derivation, refinement, and specification are all very time and effort intensive activities. With effective tool support, the time and effort required for these activities can be significantly reduced. The right tool will also reduce the learning curve for individuals new to Requirements Engineering by simplifying the requirements phase in its entirety. To this end, we will demonstrate the Scenario Management and Requirements Tool (SMaRT). It provides an intuitive web-based interface that supports analysts as they input, manage, view, analyze, and work with scenarios and their associated episodes, requirements, goals, obstacles, and preand postconditions. The tool also supports project management functions, and over the course of the next few years it will grow to encompass greater functionality through the implementation of: similarity measures to aid in the automatic identification of probable duplication, syntactic indicators of scenario dependencies, notifiers of probable coverage gaps, procedural guidance for analysts, as well as revision and evolution tracking mechanisms.
