Requirements engineering

Standards and requirements engineering

Turn layered regulations, standards and business needs into traceable requirements that designers, suppliers and reviewers can use.

From a stack of documents to an implementable baseline

Regulations, implementing acts, ETSI standards, IETF specifications, internal policy and procurement requirements operate at different levels. Requirements engineering preserves those distinctions while making dependencies, options and acceptance criteria explicit.

Areas of support

  • Applicable-document and version baseline
  • Normative requirement extraction and decomposition
  • Service, system and component requirement allocation
  • Standards options, profiles and permitted implementation choices
  • Traceability to regulation, policy and business objectives
  • Terminology, actor and interface models
  • Supplier requirement and response evaluation
  • Testable acceptance criteria and evidence expectations
