2. Outline for today
• What to do when having to select tools for
RE?
• Types of RE tools
• IEEE SoJware arKcle of tool survey
– How to read such an arKcle
– How to asses tools that weren’t in there

3. Types of tools
• General purpose tools
– Office (natural language documents,
spreadsheets)
– Drawing programs (draw.io, cacoo)
• Specific RE tools
– Requirements database tools
– Computer-aided soJware engineering (CASE)
tools
– See IEEE SW arKcle for survey

4. IEEE SW arKcle:
Requirements Engineering Tools
• Concise version of research journal arKcle
• Our goal is to learn
– How to digest such info
– How to understand how it was created
– How to make use of the content
– How to expand on the content
(by assessing addiKonal tools)

5. Tool surveys

6. Seapine

7. IBM RaKonal DOORS

8. Jama

9. Lab assignment
• Read through the IEEE SW arKcle
• Take a look at 2-3 online demos for RE tools, e.g. DOORS,
Seapine, and jUCMNav
• Inform yourself about the Jama Requirements
Management tool
h_p://www.jamasoJware.com/jama-requirements-
management/
• Compare what you can find out about Jama RM on their
website with the criteria in the IEEE SW arKcle, Table 3, and
the IST arKcle, page 6, and write a one-page summary of
your assessment.
• Submit that summary by Monday evening (opKonal) for 5
bonus points.
